Finally someone has reviewed the new X3 with a manual box. I was beginning to think I was the only person who’d ordered it with a manual. I’m sure the auto is excellent as everyone raves on about it, but I just like a manual box. Though I have great concerns regarding the issue of the offset pedals, i.e. the clutch being in line with the steering column. I haven’t driven BMW’s before and a college at work has had to return his 3 series as he can’t get on with the position of the pedals. Is this really an issue on the X3 and more importantly is this car worth the wait. I ordered mine just after the New Year and was given a delivery date of May. This was changed to the end of June, and then to the end of July. Last week it was changed again to the beginning of September and today I’ve received an email stating that it will be sometime in October aaahhh!
