Best wishes for Christmas to all the posters.

Great list (must have taken some time!)

Special mentions from me go to BIMMER UK 76 and X3buyerScotland for their advice and for convincing me to spend more money! Also marmite, viking, tuff, julesjen, cooldude, bustofa, ajwilson, washy, waffle and tank

High points:
  • The moment I got a VIN hit on the WW website and was able to track my X3 across the Atlantic and through the English Channel
  • Seeing the daytime driving lights coming towards me on my X3 with mrs sfax behind the wheel
  • And of course taking delivery and playing with everything for the first time
  • Not seeing any other X3s on the road for about 6 weeks after taking delivery of mine
  • Making my X3 beep its horn 3 times remotely using my iPhone

Low points:
  • Seeing people cancel because of waiting times or dealers messing up
  • Hearing that washy's X3 had to go - hope you end up with another one soon mate
