New 2011 X3 M sports

Hi all,

Placed an order for a 2011 X3 M sports 2.0D. Delivery for Sept 2011.

Spec:
Space Grey
Black Leather
Media pro pack
Xenon
Heated Seats
Auto

I might add the folding mirrors but I'm not sure it's worth it

I was going to go for the upgraded audio, but I'm not sure it's worth the extra £840. Anyone got this option?

I know it's a long time before I get my car, but I believe the wait would be worth it.

Welcome to the forum

I use the folding mirrors all of the time but it depends on where you park normally. Not essential but I like them and they fold automatically on locking the car if you hold the button down and then unfold on unlocking

Re. audio, I would recommend the business upgrade at least. It's more than enough for me but if you love your music and will get the opportunity to whack the volume up (i.e. no wife and kids in the car) then maybe go for the pro. I wouldn't get the stock one unless you don't intend to use it much.

I'll think about adding both. Thanks

Welcome

X3 is well worth the wait, enjoy the agonising months of order tweaking that goes hand in hand with xbimmers forum!

- "on order" is missing at the end. I'm quite looking forward to some more M Sport photos too...

Hi Beemarman, welcome - you have not so much "placed an order" as started on a long journey of upgrades. Lots of great posts on this forum, but to listen to the likes of sfax and it will cost you at least £2500 more than you intended. My spec has grown against my wife's wildest hopes - although I did take off her electric seats to afford the Pro media.
