I plan to make a longer post, but wanted to share a bit of an amuse-bouche.

Earlier this summer, I drove our M50 from Chicago, IL to Deadhorse, AK (and back...) a total of 11,826 miles. Incredible doesn't begin to describe the trip, and I couldn't have asked for a better vehicle than our X3.

I'm curious, what type of info would you want me to include in my dedicated post about the trip (assuming that it's available)? Also, how would y'all recommend I include a collection of photos (mix of car and scenary pics) from the trip?

Cheers!

Installed my new Apline Ace-2 roof rack cross bars, along with genuine BMW M Sport scuff plates.

The Apline Ace-2 quality is great and the installation was straightforward (please note the installation YT video in my earlier post). Just completed a 35 mile highway test drive with no issues

Looks great. How was sill plate installation? What part did you use?

What is the weight capacity of the X3 for roof cargo?

What bike, ski, kayak racks are compatible with that Apline Ace-2? According to their website they don’t make any of that stuff. It’s a Turkish company FYI.

Vinbim I’m curious on the sill plate too as that’s not the M Performance part and looks like the one soon to be released for MY26 Aug builds. Perhaps yours included the plate early?

Any notably additional road noise with the roof rails ?

Impressive but doesn't look like fun ;-)

I just finished off the tank of fuel I was running when I posted the fuel economy pic on page 6. I reset these values the last time I filled up and my car took 14.17 gallons to fill it up again.

504.4 miles / 14.17 gallons = 35.596 miles per gallon.

What type of driving would you say that is? Highway or city street driving?

Sure it's already a modelyear 2026 build?

When was the build date. I heard 2026 build started 1st of August.

Any picture of the interior door area?

Also your rear brake caliper is having the colored M Logo badge which should be missing on MY2026.
