How many miles on the new car when picking up from the dealer?

K3V808 · 08-16-2011, 11:54 PM

Greetings everyone, I'm just wondering that how many miles should you expect to be on your brand new X3 when you taking the delivery from the dealer? 5 - 10 miles on the Odometer?

Thanks very much!

First one I picked up had 4 miles on it. The second one I got had 2 miles on it

K3V808 · 08-17-2011, 12:27 AM

Thanks thrill! So, I should be expect somewhere similar but no more than 10+ I think.

The car's at the dealer right now, won't be able to pick it up till Labor Day weekend and I'm going NUTS!

I would say below 10 is good and the lower the better. If it has say like 15-20 then I fear someone might have taking it for a bit of an abuse ride.

We got a new Honda civic and the X3 recently and both cars had 31km (19 miles) on them.

my VW i bought 2 cars ago had under 5 when i got in it for first test drive -not a special order, just fresh off the truck the night before I was the only tester and i bought it.

I'm SO looking forward to the X3 which should also have under 5

The only thing i'm stuck on right now is do i want to put a quick 560 miles on it (according to google maps) by driving back from Spartanburg? so tempting to go down there if i can get off of work.

K3V808 - i see u are upgrading from the old X3? you must be excited! what color is the new on?

Hi greg2step, how's going? Yes, I'm upgrading from the E83 X3, very excited indeed! It's Vermilion Red Metallic with Oyster interior.

When is yours going to be ready? The PCD sounds really nice if you can make it. Did you went to the BMW Drive for Team USA event? If you did, you won't be able to do the PCD but you get a thousand dollar off instead. I was going to do the PCD until my SA told me that I can't do it because of that, well, maybe next time...

greg2step · 08-17-2011, 08:55 AM

hoping to get it 2nd week of sept - we'll see how it works out. not sure if i can make it down to SC or not, would be fun, but sept is a very busy month. i'm very excited as well deep sea blue w/ mojave here. Vermillion Red w/ Oyster sounds awesome too.

xDrive35i · 08-17-2011, 09:09 AM

Mine had two miles.

If it's any more than 10, I'd say your car might have been a test drive dummy in a last ditch effort to sell someone on the X3.

6. mine, however, had gone through VPC in Oxnard, so I am sure there was some driving from the train to the truck. also, the dealer drove the car to the gas station and to their shop to be detailed.

DavC5000 · 08-17-2011, 09:32 AM

8 miles on mine which seems like a little bit of a joy ride by dealership as ive seen ones that have 2 miles

I was so excited in taking the car that I forgot to see the miles !!

I had to reverse calculate and it came to approx 6 or 7 miles... so not bad

Todd35i · 08-17-2011, 09:49 AM

I had 8 miles as well, but I purchased my X3 from the Downtown Manhattan dealer which does not have a lot, so they had to drive it from a lot they use in New Jersey

Pinoyako · 08-17-2011, 10:00 AM

I got mine with 2 miles

How come you can't pick it up until Labor Day? I'd go postal.

Park2670 · 08-17-2011, 08:00 PM

I work for a BMW dealer in Utah, our cars have anywhere from 6-20 miles on the odometer coming off the truck. I am not sure where the miles come from. But I wouldnt be worried about the cars having a few miles on them!

flash3 · 08-17-2011, 08:31 PM

Mine had 5

Brutus1 · 08-17-2011, 08:34 PM

Ours had 2 miles on it when picked up at the PC. They test them inside the facility on a "treadmill" of sorts and put 1-2 miles on them.
