After years of driving Audis (can I admit to that here?) I've recently ordered my first BMW and I've opted for the new X3 and gone for a 30d M Sport in carbon black . I test drove a 20d SE auto which was a great all-rounder but this was the day after test driving a fully-loaded 530d SE Touring. The 5-series was a fantastic car but a bit too big and without 4WD, not ideal in the north-east of Scotland so I opted for the X3 but with the new 6-cylinder diesel (the other usual suspects, Q5, Volvo XC60, Freelander were either too common, too dull or just in need of a serious update).

I'm fortunate that the car will be a company car but that means I've opted for next to no options as these cost me, but I did specify heated seats, ipod connection and 19" 369 rims

Big problem now is that although the car was ordered on 04/04, I'm being quoted mid-December for delivery......
Welcome, The 3.0d will be fantastic no doubts, Carbon black very nice, how about the interior? Heated seats are a must thats for sure. As for options watch out, reading these forums tends to tip you over the edge. You be ticking option boxes before you know it.
