3 Attachment(s)
We have a new member in our BMW family. My lonely ti finally got a friend
I'm so excited and I decided to share this with you

Here it is:

2004 BMW X3 2.5L Alpine White Premium package 33k miles
4WD xDrive System
(I will list the options later, because I am not sure about all of them yet)

well isnt that nice!

im a little envious!

teetime4one 01-23-2008 04:21 AM

so, Josh...if his x3 and ti were parked next to each other at night and things got hot and heavy between them...what do you suppose the offspring would look like?
please empty your thoughts for me...i need a good laugh tonight.

tol4o 01-23-2008 04:34 AM

Hm, I drove both cars (X3 2.5L 192HP and 318ti 1.9L 140HP) and I think the ti will do quicker start because of the manual transmission and the lighter weight

tt im thinkin one of those bmw wagons if you know what i mean

trickiekid 01-23-2008 02:09 PM

HA, I am casually looking for an X3 for my wife. I think I am going to wait until after we buy a house first. I am still keeping an eye out, just in case our Blazer kicks the bucket.

DustenT 01-23-2008 02:48 PM

Did you drive the 3.0? I've heard the 2.5 is a little weak compared to the 3.0. We've been test driving x3s, trying to decide if we're ready for an SUV but have been told by several people to get the 3.0.

Either way, congrats on the new purchase. The price is right on the x3s now that they are coming off of lease. Is it CPO?

StealthBimmer 01-23-2008 03:24 PM

Hey Tony, congrats on the X3! Good to hear that you still got the ti. Now you can take us around in it at the next meet.

teetime4one 01-23-2008 03:42 PM

true, the 2.5 and 3.0 are different animals.
the only real noticeable difference is when trying to pass on the highway.
i'd love to have one too...albeit an X5!
the 4.4 sounds nice and has plenty of power.

ronnie, that's what i was thinking too...lol

thesk8nmidget 01-23-2008 04:30 PM

it would be a 2 door x2 with a little lower car a more slanted rear hatch and possibly it may aquire a cali roof depending on the ti's blood stream.


but it would be all wheel drive too!

tol4o 01-23-2008 07:01 PM

Thanks for the congrats

Dusten what is is CPO?

I had a choice between 2.5L and 3.0L and I picked the 2.5L
Better gas mileage, better motor design
little less power (39 HP). Mainly my wife will drive it and I dont think she'd need the extra power. The car is running very smooth and the power is satistfactory for the size of the car. The suspension is very stiff and the ride is a little bumpy but the handling is amazing. It doesn't feel like SUV at all, it's like you drive a regular 3 series BMW. You feel the car sticked to the road - pure BMW!

Certified Pre Owned.

I got it at auction - BMW financial remarketing service
There were more than 200 all kind of BMWs, most of them were of lease
The one that I got was from a personal owner - traded car
The car is still under BMW factory warranty (4 years or 50 000 miles)
I have an appointment tomorrow at the closest BMW dealer for a regular maintenance, brakes, oil change, air filter etc. - all this for free :cool:

welcome to my world...
all of our cars at the dealership i work at are one owner off lease vehicles.
i am always at one dealership or the other to use the remaining warranty before re-sale.
glad to hear you have that option to work with...good buy!
