I think the difficulty choosing exterior is partly down to so few of the new style X3 and X3 M Sport on the roads (at least around here.... lots of RR Evoques, very few X3s!). Deciding colour from photographs and little colour samples is really difficult.
I did see a CB M Sport in a showroom, a couple of weeks ago, and it did look magnificent (at least when all polished up). It had the black gloss exterior trim, but I agree with you: the aluminium exterior trim "breaks it up a bit".
I look forward to more photos soon - maybe some in some sunshine too
Plymjack, welcome. When did you order yours?

I know that the black trim is a cost option for the SE but I preferred the look of it. Having seen the car 'in the flesh', I feel that I made the right choice for me but others may not agree.
Good luck with your deliberations. Personally, I love the M Sport look and can recommend it.
