We are already have a silver 328 in the stable, so not an option.
The Carbon Black is awesome...I have the Le Mans Blue now so didn't want another blue car. I think the lighter colors tend to show off the M Sport better as well. I was torn between the space grey and the alpine white. I ended up choosing the white, mainly because I couldn't decide and it was 500 bucks cheaper....lol. |

She had a point LOL With the current models the aforementioned equipment can "only" be had with M-Sport, at least on this side of the pond. So M-sport is nets you more equipment these days and present a viable choice.

How any X series could be a real M car even with an M engine is something I find unlikely anyway. The real M cars are the likes of M3 and M5 etc.

She was being sarcastic as at one point we were going to buy one of the X///M twins, but picked up an ///M3 instead .

I love my 2011 28i. So I figured I would love my 2015 even more by getting "more" car, getting the M-Sport. The 35i engine! OH YES! AWESOME! Especially with DHP

Question on pricing. Is invoice what the dealers pay for cars from BMW? No holdbacks, etc? If invoice is say $50K, that is what they paid so presumably wouldn't ever go below that number unless they are desperate to move the car and take a loss? I realize it's different across the various manufacturers, so I ask as a point of negotiation.

One thing about the LCI front is that it looks a whole lot more modern than the original which now looks rather heavy in comparison. The non-LCIs will rapidly look a touch dated. Having said that it's not worth trading just for this reason.

I'd never get an X3 with M-Sport <shudder> with the current line-up - but I am looking into getting an M235i.

Well, it's done. Ended up doing the deal yesterday. Didn't think I'd like silver, but saw it in person, looks great with the wheels. Even my wife liked it, which is shocking.
Look forward to the ownership. |
