Pick up new 2013 X3 35i yesterday!

Finally got my new X3 and gonna be my first post in this forum. Love all the great discussion found on this forum.

Anyway the car is bought with all these package:

X3 35i Alpine White with Red Brown Nevada Leather
M-Sport Package
Technology Package
Premium Package
Executive Package

Some stuff I found that differ the 2013 from the 2012 model is that the center storage compartment for 2013 model does not have the phone holder (the one you can get an adapter to connect your phone if you have BMW Apps) so the center storage is a lot bigger and I totally love it!

Congratulations !!!

My X35i on order was same configuration as yours... except I added the C$350 Storage package... which added a small tray at the driver side (hope it will fit my wife's sun glass), storage net at front seat back and some other stuff in the trunk...

How long you have to wait between place the order to delivery ?

Yeah the storage compartment on the driver side was nice but I think it might be too small to fit a sun glasses. And I realise I didn't use the seat net at the back of the front seat on my previous car so I chose to save the money.

It took about 2 months for the car to arrive. But the dealer was kind enough to let me drive a 335i sedan as courtesy for the last week when car didn't arrive on time.

I think it's possible to paint it, thought I doubt it will look good.

Congrats! I love that color combo. Btw, you have winter tires on, or am I mistaken?

vanheiser,

Great pictures of the car.

I think your pictures accurately reflect the colour of BMW's AW paint. One of my co-worker's has a white Q5 and the BMW AW is definitely more elegant.

looks very nice man, unrelated question - why does the X3 35i have the single muffler/double pipe set up instead of the double muffler - single pipes? I thought all the 35i's have the split pipes.

No ural, its the original all season tires from BMW. I'm not sure if I should get myself a set of winter tires. I don't think it snowed much at Vancouver to justify buying a set of winter tires.

Thanks lbjgh!! Yeah I test drove the Q5 before the X3 and saw that their white wasn't as elegant as the BMW one.

How did you manage to get that gloss finish surrounding the vents and the headlight switch?

All the X3s ive seen have a cheap looking plastic with no protective trimming.

Is it an option? I cant seem to find it in the configurator.

Or paint the inner trim flat black.

In the US, the 35i comes with black gloss trim.
