2011 X3 M Sport Arrived Carbon Black

Ordered on May 9th, went into production May 26th arrived at the dealer on June 6th. Available for delivery today June 10th. My dealer actually ordered 2 nearly identical builds, one with Dynamic Handling Pkg, and one without because of the confusion in the brochure and online about the damper controls. They let me decide which to take since they could sell the other.

I wasn't sure if I needed the Iphone 4 cradle ($250) to use the BMW apps, but realized bmw apps works with the white ipod cable. Interesting feature, hopefully they'll update with additional apps.

It is really beautiful. Is the wheel 18" M light alloy wheel Star-Spoke styling 368M with 8Jx245/50 run-flat tyres?

Thanks

Congrats! I'll eventually order something very similar to your config. It's a 35i? Did the other car without DHP have the sport switch? Did you order from Herb Chambers?

In USA, the default M sport package comes with 19" M light alloy double spoke wheels - style 369M with all-season run-flat tire, but I don't think these wheels are 19" M double sopke, it looks like Star spoke styling.

In Australia, the M sport package comes with wheel 18" M light alloy wheel Star-Spoke styling 368M with 8Jx245/50 run-flat tyres.

They aren't the 369's that usually are on the M-sports in the USA. Don't know why this one is different?

It also does not have the sports automatic transmission... is it possible that it is because it is a X3 28i M Sport?? I'm not sure as Canada doesn't offer the M Sport for the 28i model, only the 35i ones.
