Thanks.

Yes the HUD is in Color. The orange/red color as well as white. Everything shows up there. Your music, car info, NAV, phone calls etc. Its really cool. You can change the position of it too.

Yes the iDrive controller is touch. Very neat as well. This car does so much more than my 2011. Lost of changes that I never read about or new of. My Client Advisor was surprised and shocked too. BMW did a great job!

hot daaaaayam!!

sorry but don't like the colour, much prefer a metallic red than what we call in the UK 'Post Office' Red, each to their own though so enjoy the car

Hi there. Thanks for your comment and opinion. To your point it actually is metallic. In fact, its called Melbourne Red "Metallic". :-)

Oh and yes! Im enjoying the car quite a bit. Best car I've ever had so far. I get lots of compliments

Have a good day

tenman · 05-30-2014, 03:09 PM

Awesome. What was the price?

You might call it that but I'm in the UK and think it's awesome. I currently have a space grey X3. It's what we call in the UK "ten a penny, dull as dishwater grey" so I'm looking forward to getting a new melbourne red to cheer things up a bit.

Very nice and congrats.....

Wondering if they've improved HUD so that it works with polarized sunglasses yet? My wives 2013 x5 has the HUD and it's unusable to me during the day

Did you get the car from Dylan? I recognize Motowerks in the background

BFox · 06-02-2014, 09:35 AM

Very nice, I really like that red. I'm in the twin cities also and just got a used 2013 white msport. I'll be sure to give you a thumbs up if I see you around.

Cant wait tot see your awesome pics too

tenman · 06-06-2014, 05:07 PM

Wow my local dealer just got one in just like yours for $53k. It has HID instead of LEDs

Beemergirl · 06-08-2014, 03:13 PM

Looks sharp! I just ordered my 2nd X3 M sport in melbourne red and excited after seeing yours here!

Jammy83 · 06-09-2014, 02:15 PM

I'm interested to know how you got the backlit instrument display? In nearly every other 2015 X3 LCI I've seen, there is just the standard, pre-lci instrument display. It's obviously not just a US spec thing from others I've seen. It's really got me scratching my head!

FWIW, we also have the backlit display on our 2015 X3 xLine... I actually assumed they all had it.

I also initially thought that. Is it part of the professional media package upgrade maybe?

slyfox · 06-12-2014, 09:24 AM

Lovely Car, congrat's

valeram · 06-12-2014, 12:32 PM

Very nice. Just have to tint the front windows with the same light transmission % as the back windows.
