Congratulations!

You know what? That color in Italy is totally ignored. No one buys a red vermilion X3.

I like it so much, when I asked the dealer if he ever sold one, he told me "are you kidding, are you"? laughing ....

Mine is mineral silver ;-)

Mine Vermillion Red should be on its way to Europe in a ship soon.

Delivery date to me is end of March. Then the long 6 months wait ends!

I'm a great believer in visibility on the road - I once had a near miss coming uphill to a quiet country roundabout where I didn't see a car approaching from the side because it was exactly the same colour as the cloudy sky (a bluish light grey). VR looked like the most visible colour (I know white it normally highly visible but not in the snow!).

What interior colour did you other VR buyers go for? We saw a 5 series touring in VR/Oyster in the showroom and it looked really classy.

Black leather and brushed aluminium. No high gloss on dashboard.

We went for "harmony looks" for interior.

Mine in production in 2 weeks - dealer says. Ordered on Feb 2nd -dealers says delivery before April 30th.
Vermillon Red - same discussion - the guys here were not surprised - but probably one of the few with this color. Many X6 on the other hand VR - is it the same? Can't wait to get it - my first BMW.

Hi Geraint.

Got news? My 30D was assembled in week 8, and it's already in Bremerhaven (last Friday).
This is a few weeks before expected

Dealer told me I would have it in two weeks.

Mine arriving sooner than expected

I had a week 8 production slot and was told to expect it end-March.

Got a call last week to say I may get it on 14th - but that has slipped now to 19th (next Monday). Can't complain its 2 weeks earlier than expected

I wonder if our cars ended up on a Catamaran across the Atlantic or something!

Congrats, good to hear you got it early. I'm sure you'll enjoy it. I've had mine for 2 week (this coming Wednesday) and I've enjoyed every minute of it.

Got it yet? You probably don't have time to update, cause you are out driving all day

You can update from the car you know

Happyface all over?


I'll get mine next week... I'll post pictures as soon as possible.

Got it yesterday - a beautiful thing and a joy to drive. I'll upload a photo when I get some time and the weather is good too - the weekend I hope

Unfortunately BMW UK appears to have chosen a very poor mobile phone provider and there is no signal at our home so using online services to reply to this forum is not possible. Sending a route to the car is therefore going to be a pain - the idea is that the route should be there when you get into the car We get a good signal from the top 3 providers here so no ideal who they are using - I suspect O2.
