Pictures....finally

So that's me done 700 miles and only just had the time to take a few quick snaps.....

Very nice, but waiting for engine to loosen now so I can try and get 43-45 MPG average (will take a 6 months I guess...)

Spiffy! Still, it looks so wrong with the steering wheel on the right. Having to do everything with my left hand is so odd.

Question: Why aren't the pedals reversed as well? The dead pedal against the tunnel looks strange.

Lovely car, congratuations!

How is the ride and engine noise of the car? Is the ride still good with sport suspension and run flat 18'' tyres?

Is the sprt sat part electric or is it just manual as the brochoure said they should be semi- electric.

Enjoy your ride!

All diesel X3s have the black grill and petrol X3s get the titanium grill. I think the black grill looks much nicer on a black X3. I hope they aren't hard to get over here.

I quite fancy the titanium grill on my mineral silver. Pity it would be so impractical to swap!

Funny you should say that as I feel the same, in reverse as it were, when I drive a left-hand drive car!

AC888 - the ride and wind noise are fine. I guess with the sports suspension it is a little more jiggly than the test drive model which was standard. However, the test drive model also had 17's. Overall, I would say that I am happy with it - it balances out with previous 520d MSport; that was a little less jiggly, but bumps were more severe.

On the sports seats, they only have electronic bolster (not lumbar); all adjustments are manual.
