Getting tense and thinking about a Q3 it can be here at end of September. Love the x3 but also test drove the q3 and it was pretty good as well. One more delay and I might. The dealer won't care because I am sure he could sell my speck to someone else.
Yeah. My August build september delivery is now a week 38 septemer build, which pushes it to a NOvember delivery.
I have another car - I'll wait.

Starting to ask questions now about what will be different as it should be a MY12 model with a week 38 build. Might get a price or spec change. No real chance of a 35d though. The sales manager said they never imported the 35d for the last X3 and are highly unlikely to steal sales from the X5 by doing it this time.

Its either that or dump it and go for a Cayanne TD which is $40k more for the same spec, and slightly slower.
I'll wait.
If they bugger around too much there is always the new ML merc - their engines seem to have jumped forwards to the 21st century - finally.
