Talking New X3!!!

Hey guys,

Been on here for a while now, mostly lurking. I pick my own 2013 X3 28i on Wednesday. Black Sapphire with Black Leather. I have Technology Package, Premium Package and Executive Package. Is there anything specific I should look at while I am picking up?

Thanks in advance, guys. Oh, and I also grabbed the coding cable from April1. Huge props go out to him, don't plan on doing any coding in the first month though. Definitely want to try it out and see if the start/stop really is as bad as I have heard.

Look out for the "Insrtument Panels Embellishers, Black"

The "Instrument Panels Embellishers, Black (04NG)" is something that almost everybody overlooks.

It is free of charge and will look awesome with the configuration you have chosen.

The Instrument Panels Embellishers, Black is a piano-black replacement for the piece of the dash running from the left side of the steering right up until the 2 air conditioning ports.

Here is a photo comparison with the option highlighted:

On wow!! That's a huge difference and the piano black looks gorgeous. I will be calling my SA tomorrow to see if this can be done. Thank you for the heads up.

I noticed the parts gstyle333 indicated have a very faint metalic finish to them including a bit of blue undertones.

Anyone else notice this?

Same look as the back of the old iPhone 3

I have seen it live...it's piano-black - no faint metallic finish, no blue undertones.
The best way I can describe it is that it is almost exactly the same look as the back of the old iPhone 3.
