I think we need a hurricane to get a glimpse of yours.....

In fact, I am beginning to wonder if you have really ordered a X3, or are you just pulling my leg here?!....

You're not the only one ... Maybe I'm going crazy and have imagined the whole thing !

Have you got yours yet ?

What wheels are fitted?

Those are the streamline 306.....less road tax and my wife preferred them.

Yes Andy! I picked it up from the dealer last Friday. The trip from the dealer to my home is 150 km. I was advised not to go faster than 130 km/h and to keep it below 3500 rpm, (first 1500 km), which I will do.
The car handles so nice and the engine is so silent and smooth. I am not so convinced about the "sport" mode yet, for I prefer the "comfort" mode.

Yesterday was cloudy, but today will be very sunny and I will make more pictures as soon as the sun is high enough.

Picked up at last after a 6 months the wait is over and I must admit it was worth it! A pleasure to drive and although it was a rush hour drive home the engine a dream. The start / stop is way better than my 2 year old 320d. No pictures yet the weather is rubbish.
Better update tomorrow.

Congrats Sparky!

Nearly 600 miles on mine now

[Sparky14]

Update:
This car brings a smile to my face each time I drive it, even on the journey to work
Missing the RTI on the NAV maybe I should have gone for the Professional option!
The stop / start on the 320d was never smooth even though it stops on the down stroke. The 6 cylinder is worth the extra for this alone! It’s definitely not an issue.
Cruise control I can see why this care goes through brakes after 25000 miles if you are constantly using it!
Seats – No problem with the standard seats, if you’re throwing it around country lanes the sports seats is the way to go.
Driving position just perfect, longer journeys won’t be a problem anymore.
Auto windscreen wipers work great, it’s not stop raining since I picked it up
So far so good but then I’ve only done 80 miles!
