Thanks everyone for your 2015 X3 build/ship/delivery posts. It helped manage my expectations of the entire process. I took delivery of my new 2015 X3 sDrive28 with MSport this afternoon from Valencia BMW in SoCal. I had a great experience. My sales person was awesome and I even enjoyed my time with the finance guy. Most importantly, I got a great deal.

Did you order yours with heated steering wheel? I'm interested to know because you have the M-Sport.
