In the daylight can you easily differentiate an x3 with Xenons?

Difference is like day and night with the daytiem running light off or on. They make the car look more upscale too. If you look at the thread on the gray colored X3 you will see the difference for the 2nd last cars don't have Xenons and very noticeable and cheapens the look. See the thread http://x3.xbimmers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=460044

True. Xenons suggest premium. They are always first on my option shopping list

I too have gone for Xenon and no DDC, I have gone for the UK's dynamic package which consist of Y spoke alloys, sport seats, sport suspension( no one have this, so it's an unknown ride quality) performance control and sport steering wheel. The main reason I went for this is beacuse my wife said the standard suspension is too floaty and causing her travel sickness!
I would be happy with the cheap 18'' alloy and standard suspension only.
Xenon is a must for me as its so much better in the dark, especially in UK during winter as its always dark!
I hope I have made the right choice as I really don't want to increase the cost any further or delay the delivery by chnaging the spec!
