You should have bought the M Sport it has them.

So far so good (Although I do wonder whether the foot rest might become a problem. Still, early days.)
Went 20 miles for a bar meal tonight on just the right roads to test handling and those lovely xenons. Great fun!

You can make it better by experimenting with different seat positions but I still don't like it 8 months in. I often just rest my foot to the right of it. It's an annoyance but the high driving position and the other goodies more than compensate

I've picked it up with only 8 miles on the clock. What a lovely drive home. Shame about the rain. Will be going for a long drive tomorrow. 2011 model, older RTTI display, unfortunately.

Congrats, you must have just missed the 2012 launch week with respect to the RTTI.

Hi,

I've been known to frequent that B&Q outlet so keep your eyes out.

Clocked up 11000 miles on a run down to the Cornwall at the weekend. Six months old next week and still loving it.

11000 miles? Just how much of a detour did you make just to enjoy the x3?

With all these local ones, I'm surprised I haven't seen any of you before.
