Thumbs up New kid on the block...It has arrived :)

Picked up our Black Sapphire X3 M-Sport 35i today .

We had a super great experience at Sharpe BMW our CA Quentin went above and beyond. I highly recommend him to people who are considering buying in the GR area.


He took pictures of it arriving on the transport truck and even put a bow on it before we arrived to top it off


Already had it tinted before pickup. Here are some pics since I know threads are worthless without them

Stunning and congrats, but get rid of that dealer's sticker on the rear unless they're paying you.

For sure!!! I wanted to rip it off right after they put it on but I thought that would look bad. So I took it off after it came home

Lol ..that's the same thing I think when I see pictures of the carbon black X3s. I think they look like the black sapphire X3s. Sometimes I can't even tell them apart unless the pictures are in bright sun or the person writes what the colors are.

Yup, michigander Did you check Sharpe at all during your search before buying at Zeigler?

I'm guessing you probably live closer to Kzoo hence the purchase on that side. Dealers here aren't very close in proximity.

I think I only have about a month left till delivery ... It gets harder every day ... I have absolutely no idea how people coped with 6 month waits.

And to be sure I will still have to manage somehow with reading about happy people taking deliveries on shiny new cars that haven't been ordered yet before I get mine for a little while longer!

Almost on the downhill phase ...

:-)

P.S. Congrats KingX, looks great. Hope mine comes with a bow.

Yeah the bow really was a nice touch for sure

I feel you guys on the wait ..and I didn't have to wait as long as some of you have been. I went into this knowing it wasn't going to be quick either but the hardest time really came when I found out it was in production.

I didn't think I would care as much but the anticipation really builds when it's just around the bend. I swear in the last week I called BMW automated system like twice a day looking for updates..lol

When I first placed the order in Feb the dealer mentioned the build week might get pulled forward ... Big mistake ... Called then twice a day to check!

Actually it did, but then ... and I haven't heard of this on the forum before, it got pushed back 2 weeks ... Feel kinds cheated on that one ...

As the original build date approached I was calling each day to check on status ... Sort of lost heart when the build date passed by ... But it's finally 5055 so I will leave it alone till the end of next week by which time I assume it will have been built (or I will lose it!) and then I am really hoping to be able to track the ship delivering it to the UK ...

On a good day, I think that's as good as we get to track our cars ... But won't know till I try ...

Congrats King.

Are the rear windows tinted darker as well or did they just make the front windows match the privacy glass?

Front windows tinted to match to p.g.

It may look darker because the front windshield is tinted as well.
