Can you confirm whether the auto tailgate foot sensor thing does work on the m-sport?

I want to hear your opinion of the DHP. I just added DHP to my existing order and would like to hear from others on their opinions. Worth the extra $$?

Yes yes and yes! Totally worth it. The ride is so much better. You have 4 different modes. eco/normal/sport and sport plus. I highly recommend it.

Hmmm. I dont know. I was shocked when I took delivery and saw it I got all the packages. Seems like it would come with the Tech package.

Not available on the M-Sport due to the rear bumper.

That's what keep hearing too guys, but as I mentioned in another thread, if you look at all of the promotional (product substance) videos for the new X4 (the red one with M Sport package), they seem to advertise that this capability is available with a M Sport bumper...

Great looking car! I ordered mine with the same color, and was a bit worried how it will look in person. Now I can sleep well again

Agree totally .. my current BMW is one of tens of thousands in dull dishwasher grey (space grey) but in fairness it is "nice" but it doesn't stand out in a car park. I previously had a crimson red E90 which got compliments wherever I took it ... and a premium when I traded it in, the dealer saying that he had lots of interest in it.

The world needs RED Bmw's

So it could be because of the tech package including the Nav? Sorry if im confused our packages are different here in Canada


OR, could it part of the HUD?? Not everyone gets the HUD but they get NAV so it would make sense?

If anyone knows please chime in !

Okay so i have done some reading and it turns out that you need to have the HUD option in order to have extended full LCD display in the cluster. I didn't order HUD option in my build so i won't get it :'(

Super old post so I doubt you'll get a response but I would say it could be possible it's the same one. I only see a handful of F25 X3's in Melbourne Red with the N55 with the M Sport Pack for sale per year(admittedly I've only looked for the past 2 years). I got lucky and got one but it definitely isn't this one.

Love mine so far, the Melbourne red is the best color by FAR

Yeah, I figured it would be a long shot...I wonder if there is a way to find out how many vehicles with a certain spec were built. Definitely a nice vehicle!

There used to be a guy who had proprietary information on another form that could give that type of info. Not sure if it extended this far into the BMW model years but I found out that my M3 was like 1 of 226 or something like that from him.

But yea, it would be cool to know how rare the car is.

EDIT because I remembered more about the above. He was using some sort of query to figure this information out via the VIN numbers, but then BMW changed their VIN numbers or something and he was no longer able to figure the information out with his reverse engineering technique.
