See the PDF in the link above. The price of the car getting cheaper and more standard features are things that happen, but things that you can't order are being added in like the glossy panel on the radio unit, assuming it's the same like on the 7 series and 5 series... and anthracite headliner with just the sport package? Ouch.

I hope the option 4NG can be easily retrofit!

not disappointed at all given the base price had gone up with the sunroof being included in the base (with $200 "savings"). I'm actually glad I got the 2011 because I didnt want the sunroof and was also able to get the performance tires on the sports package w/ 19" wheels. I went from a bit sad to a bit happy after seeing the 2012 lineup

I would have preferred the anthracite headliner + high gloss instrument panel, but those arent things I'll be losing sleep over.

Surprised that the convenience pkg is now included in the Premium pkg for the 35i only with no rise in the price of the pkg. Whereas the 28i still will cost you $1700 MSRP. The 35i just got closer in price to the 28i if you were planning to order the convenience pkg.

Update: I see they pulled the sunroof from the premium pkg and raised the base price, so the difference isn't as much as I thought.

I updated my post, they pulled the sunroof and replaced it with the convenience package components. There still seems to be added value but not as much as just adding the convenience pkg for "free".

To get the MY12 X3, you probably have to wait till late December or January 2012 to get the car.

In Canada, the anthracite headliner was in the MSport pkg in 2011.

Why would anyone want those parts inte the dash to be high gloss? Seems off, considering nothing else is?

Yes, you can get it fast for 2011 build, I'm talking about 2012 build which will start taking order in September 2011 (All order placed after September 2011 will be MY2012), that's what my SA told me this morning.

Pretty minor changes for the most part. Mainly it's just shifting of options into different packages but still no announcement of the new engine for 28i or the possible X3M.

For those who just purchased the 2011 models (including myself), I assume you would probably loss some negotiation leverage with a 2012 model and end up paying more with similar spec. So at the end, you are technically paying for the new standard features.

What does black high gloss instrumental mean? in the picture in the pdf, it just shows a squares around the ac vents mainly....

Does it mean that upgraded speedometer and tachometer panel that used to be only included within the navigation package?? That has the efficient dynamics display shown?? Thanks.

The glossy panel they are referring to is the same glossy panel that you can option on the 2011 X3. The difference here is that it's now standard for 2012. It is not the black panel hide-away display as on the 5 and 7.
