First time (potential) X3 buyer
Looking at the 28i with the following:
Premium M-Sport Dynamic Handling Technology Convenience Couple of questions: 1) Can you get all the features of the premium package but with leatherette? I don't have an absolute need for leather but I like the dimming mirrors etc. 2) Is there anything outside the BMW Apps discount for a first time, non-military buyer? I didn't sign up for drive for team USA. Looking to purchase by December. 3) Anyone else skip the technology package and wish they had a larger screen? I hate how the non-navigation screen is 2 inches smaller I'd hate to look over at it every day and be reminded that I should have opted for the bigger screen (although I feel the nav system itself is absolutely useless for me). |

Yes agree with you on the screen size difference.
I can tell you as someone who just ordered that you can order the navigation system as a standalong option. It's something like $1k cheaper than the technology package. You don't get the rearview camera or parking distance system, but do get the bigger screen and the updated(I don't know the technical name) instrument cluster which I think looks much better than the standard and bmw assist as well.

W* is right -- you can order navigation as a standalone option. That said, the combined toys in the tech package make things very useful overall. I didn't think I needed the tech package until I got it.
Leather is standard with the premium package, so you have to 'settle' for leather if you want the goodies in the premium package. Good choice on selecting DHP -- THE BEST option to select!!! The non-DHP ride is great, but with DHP it is just better in all modes. Can't go wrong with this one! |

Are you sure about this? Mine is scheduled for tonight (Aug 16) and other dealerships in my area are having them throughout this week and next. I guess it depends on your location? Thanks, dr |

I did the Drive for Team USA event last Thursday in NJ, and they had some slots available up to the end of August. I chose NJ because I was too late to get a slot in a NY event.
