rear hatch

[55]

Can rear hatch/glass be opened separately from the hole door on X3?
thanks

Yes, with optional hammer.

Just think of it as a great sun/rain/snow shade above your head as you unload or load what you need to in the back. I really do miss the rear window opening to put small items inside and to keep large items from rolling out when you park facing up on a hill. I believe the X5 does have a separate window in the rear door, perhaps the new X3 might as well.

Yes, with optional hammer.

The hammer should be applied against designer's head.

Agree. But it is irritating anyway. Touring has it (Even cheap Vibe has it)

If the touring rode a little bit higher I would be on another board. I really liked my e90 328i but getting in and out with my bad back was too much. Being so used to trucks I also "ran it aground" a couple of times which is another plus for the higher X3.

I too wished the X3 had this............but alas it doesn't.
