It's here!

richardew · 08-24-2011, 09:37 PM

Picked up my X3 today. 25 days after placing the order.

I can't complain. I'll have to wait until it's broken in properly to put it through its' paces. It'll never look so good again. Now I need somewhere to drive to.

powertech83 · 08-24-2011, 10:09 PM

Congratulations! looks great

Lamdog · 08-25-2011, 12:44 AM

Those are great looking wheels! Do the come standard? Or are they options?

AJWilson · 08-25-2011, 01:15 AM

Congrats, Lovely car. Interior looks good.

richardew · 08-25-2011, 01:38 AM

The wheels are the 19" mixed performance option. Y rated P Zeros.

Nice! I am waiting on my X3 from WG, should be here in two weeks. How did the delivery process go? This is my first car from this dealer (and first BMW!)

sfax · 08-25-2011, 11:50 AM

Congrats. Black + 309s + oyster looks awesome. Enjoy!

Who is your CA? Mine is Greg. It's my third car from him. Delivery took 1 1/2 hrs. Lots of paperwork. I went with the tire protection for ~$1000. I broke 3 or 4 tires on my 335 @~$350/tire. I have not had any issues with WG. If you have the production number you can track the car on BMWUSA/MyBMW. What did you order?

It does look great...that's the Sand Beige interior, not Oyster though.

I worked with Greg as well. Ordered the 28i, Deep Sea Blue, Oyster, Fineline, SAP, PP, CWP, Tech, CP, Smartphone, Sat Radio.

I was thinking about the tire protection, but have not decided yet... What is the timeframe/mileage for the tire coverage?

Thanks!

Looks awesome! Congratulations! I wish you the best with it! Hey, just curious of you remember... I found out my X3 went into paint today. What is your projection in terms of days before reaching dealership from this point?

I won't hold being an Eagles fan against you either. :-)

Powerrunner · 08-25-2011, 08:13 PM

Congrats looks awesome.

Production time is about one week total. They truck them from SC to Phila and I imagine the same is true for NJ. It's way quicker than the train.

I guess you are from north Jersey since you are not an Eagles fan. If you like, I have a video of the second Giants game I watch whenever I feel a bit down. I could send you a copy.

Mike99PA · 08-25-2011, 10:38 PM

Looks great - love the 19" wheels. Wish I had opted for that on mine! Congrats!

Nahoa · 08-25-2011, 11:16 PM

Did they pay you for that "WG" on the back?

Interesting. I've rarely seen dealer advertising done so subtly, but I've also rarely seen dealer advertising other than a license plate frame on a BMW. If I bought a car from that dealer the WG would have been a negotiated point during the Buy process. As simple as it is to de-badge a car, I would be surprised if the WG were any harder to remove.

tagz · 08-26-2011, 06:19 AM

Awesome color.. awesome wheels.. congratulations!

Pardon my ignorance, but what is WG?

02420X3 · 08-26-2011, 06:35 AM

WG is the logo of West German BMW in Philadelphia.

fedinand · 08-26-2011, 07:05 AM

Your X3 is stunning - black sapphire and beige look great together!

Ah yes, so it is, thanks, I think i looked at pics on my iphone earlier but it's clear now

Max1Factor · 08-26-2011, 07:18 AM

Nice car, nice rear plate - do you have to reset to 000:00 after each trip?
