@X3man - Liking them Nev, a lot. Best I can hope for is some serious discount on a set me thinks @jassyo06 - Is Jordan up for some serious ASN discount for us BM owners?
Just catching up on this BH, glad to hear you finally got something bigger for towing the van. Can’t wait to see this pictures. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Got a brand new set of genuine BMW mats off eBay for the X3 I'm going to treat these with Gtechniq I1 v2 & use them when we go caravaning & keep the originals when we are not Also arrived the same day, a coding cable to use in conjunction with the BimmerCode app https://www.bimmercode.app/ (Thanks to @X3man for heads upon coding cable)
Update today from the 'New Car Sales Executive' from the supplying BMW dealer - 'I wanted to let you know that your brand new BMW is making it’s way over on the ship. The estimated date of delivery is mid-late November' So around a month then Our daughter is collecting her new Seat Tarraco on the 22nd November so I bet we have collection on the same day
Didn't realise all BMW X vehicles, except the X1, are built in Spartanberg, South Carolina, US of A No wonder why mines taking so long on the ship over FFS
That changed I think a year or so ago, but there is still debate about whether the M40i/d is built in Spartanburg https://www.businessinsider.co.za/n...or-south-african-x3s-because-of-brexit-2019-7
Update from the supplying Dealer today - 'We are looking towards the end of this month as an estimated delivery date.' Looks like my daughter will get her new Terraco before me then
Had an email this afternoon from the Salesperson at the supplying dealer - 'Great news, your car has landed in the UK port and is now undergoing it’s PDI (Pre-Delivery Inspection)!' Arranged collection for 1pm Thursday 21st November ! Only 9 sleeps to go !
Went into the Dealers today to have a chat and get some fast BMW water lol Dealer has agreed to tax from the 1st of December and cover the other 9 days worth of tax Get the reg. no. on Monday so will sort out insurance then Still waiting for the big sell on GAP & their GardX rubbish If the Dealer can match the GAP quote I already have I'll go with them, if not its of to https://gapinsurance123.co.uk/ for my 4th policy (GAP quote I have with the above company is a 4 year 'Combined Return to Invoice & Vehicle Replacement' policy with no claim limit £258.28 incl. VAT) In relation the GardX I'll be saying give me a set of rubber mats & we will say no more about bringing the GardX issue up lol I've had to order another ethernet to lightning adapter as the 1 I had previously ordered has been lost in the post Still the new one should be here in time for delivery of the X3 1st thing I'm going to do is enable the memory function on the stop/start button. Hate SS with a passion 5 sleeps to go
Insurance sorted for the X3 for Thursday Fully comp for SWMBO & I to drive, protected NCD, not garaged (altho' it will be), 8000 miles/year, £350 excess with all the other usual guff included M&S Car Insurance £277.40 / year Happy enough with that for a £47k (list) car Nearest quote to this was £75 more
Not bad Col, I can’t really compare what mine is, as have both JCW and M40 on multicar policy for £405. The usual PNCD, SWMBO etc
Collection day today I didn't want to collect this car with the transit film on & do a detail from there. Done that 3 times & TBH didn't fancy doing it again So I took a calculated risk as the X3 is solid white & let the Dealer do the prep The dealer had a bit of a mare with the prep guys and as a result we were about 1 1/2 late The wife & I thoroughly inspected and I mean thoroughly inspected the car in the hand over room. Paintwork was spot on, no swirls or marks that we could see. However the X3 was dirty in places where it shouldn't have been IMHO After a little moan the Sales Manager quickly appeared and couldn't apologise enough He gave us £70 worth of designer shops vouchers and a set of genuine BMW rubber mat set & another apology lol Not the best hand over but I'm still happy enough. Like my neighbour said he would have been happy to have £200 for a mildy dirty car in the nooks and crannies. I was always going to give it a clean myself anyways Tyres fitted - Pirelli P-Zero's Delivery mileage - 9.2 miles We had a busy day so I didn't get to drive it much today so 1st impressions are a bit limited but will update in a weeks time So far - Liking the power Loads & loads of tech to play with Gloss black front kidney grills Cool bits - Electric folding tow bar - it REALLY is cool lol MSport safety belts Digi dash Surprising bits I wasn't expecting it to have - Black chrome exhaust tips Courtesy lights in the outside door handles Interior floor mats are really good quality Salesman had put a 2nd rear number plate in the boot for the caravan I'll let the pic's do the talking for time being Thanks for looking
Looking great mate! Loving the new BMW interiors at the moment, big step up from the last generation. Happy driving. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Just needs a few blue lights and some yellow go faster stripes down the side........ I jest. Looks nice. Is it a good drive?
When I popped the bonnet on mine @Bristle Hound I was amazed at how far the front is away from the engine. Good old 50/50 weight distribution.
@BarryG79 - Thanks Barry Must admit the BM interiors are getting so close to the Audi ones IMHO PMSL @CHEZ - I know what you mean tho lol & cheers Gerabox is seamless & the acoustic glass defo makes a difference @Adam14 - Thanks Adam @RS3 S. - Cheers @V6_Man - Thanks Tash You obviously have good taste sir ! @Jcbmally - I know exactly what you mean. Was a bit of shock there being nothing right at the front lol
Another cool bit of kit 'Welcome Light Carpet' - BMW's name not mine lol (Pic is from offside door to the rear of the car) Was checking tow bar under rear of car so I thought I may as well get some under body shots lol Set up the BMW ConnectedDrive app today 'Tis quite a cool bit of kit Shows quite bit of info about your car in app on your iPhone Still getting used to the seat belts tightening shortly after you pull off. A bit weird to start off but getting used to it now Remainder of the coding cable came today so going to have a play with the BimmerCode app over the weekend Went into the supplying dealers today and they were obviously still feeling guilty from yesterdays handover as they topped the tank off with £25 worth of diesel. Quite a nice gesture IMHO
That car is stunning, I am very jealous . I really like the black grills and all the rest of it! The dealers are really looking after you (so they should be ). Enjoy the car......
Know what you mean about seat belt tensioning, my mates C63 AMG has the same thing and really does go toght, imagine it's the same as your X3. Soon get used to it as you say. Sent from my HD1913 using Tapatalk
