Hey guys, We just welcomed out 3rd BMW to the Family. CPO 07 X3 3.0i with 22k on the clock 
Unfortunately, as some of my friends around here already know, I am about to sell my E60.
So had a few questions.
I have an automatic Sprint booster. Can I install it on the X3? Will it give an error or does it need another type of SB?
Now this question is mainly to the DOC(since he;s the expert with offsets), though i should've Pmed him but thought it would be informative to everyone else.
The X3 has M Double spoke -style 192 http://www.k-lach.net/e83_wh.htm. Can I install my E60 124s on it since i luv them. That way ill use the 192 winter, 124 summer.
Ill post soon all of our 3 beemers.

Offset on your X3 is ET44 and ET51.
Stock e60 ET is around 20.
You can put them on, but they are going stick out of the fender.

124's in xi fitment will work perfect. 124's with xi fitment fronts are ET43, rears are ET55.

not Xi.
so the wheels would fit and stick out like i have spacers on them. So in short, the ride will look mean?
How about the SB?

cmoooon.
Yes, at first i was not a big fan of the X3. You need some time to get used to it. Plus the M package is much better then the stock one.
The interior is quite nice. Not compared to the X5 and E60 but it is the same as the 3series and 1series. It is comfortable and smooth ride.
Whats nice about it is that, IN ALLLL LEBANON, no one has the M Package. That I AM 10000000% sure of. So whenever someone sees that car, they will know directly that this my sister passing by.
Lebanon is a very small country. So almost everyone knows each other.

I like your ride, the M-Pkg adds to it.
I'd love to see the X3 with the rims on. DO IT AND POST PICS!

One time I got an X3 with the M Package as a loaner from my dealer... it's so much fun to drive! Enjoy!
