Then about a week or so before it goes into production it will lock so you can't make any changes

Once prod starts the code will change again

And again once complete

As soon as it shows consigned you should be able to track through the shippers on its vin number which the dealer can give you

Many Thanks...mine should be in production at the moment.

Go here:

and enter the last seven digits of your VIN and you'll see the actual date when your car was "born"...along with your specs and options.

That's interesting .. Apparently my current BMW has this :

individual options

No access - Protected Vehicle data


Whatever that is

I honestly haven't a clue .. Just says it after the optional extras .. As an individual option ?

I don't think it's bullet proof and I haven't found the button for the rocket launchers yet !

Hi
I ordered my X3 X Line 2.0D mid September and have just been told production date will be March with delivery in May, that's 8 months.. I'm sure it will be worth the wait.

[WorksopOWLS]

My dealer rang me last week ordered by X3 start of Sept confirming delivery in Feb

What colour did you choose?

Collected this afternoon here are some pictures ..of my Msport in Carbon black with Ivory white interior, anthracite wood trim. Options xenons, Pan sun roof, reverse assist camera, speed limit display, high beam assist.

Six month wait was worth it. Was worried about the ride without VDC, but I'd like it the way it is.. Not had a chance to take it for a long drive. Have just driven in very heavy traffic today and the auto hold function is perfect for the London traffic. will post more pictures over the week end.

That's very nice .. Seem to be quite a few on here going for chrome on the msport

Enjoy ...

Very nice, makes me glad I changed to an m-sport.

Thank you. I changed from xline to Msport (also colour, I saw this in the showroom and really liked it) only just a few before build, really pleased fantastic car to drive.
