Check this out

Found a weirdly spec'd CPO from a dealership in South Carolina. Looks to be euro-spec http://nitra.bmwcpodealer.com/cpo/Ve...-SC/1877998273

Look at the interior!!!

Not at all what I meant. Give me a little credit; I was talking about the dials for the climate control and the lack of buttons on the wheel. It is not possible to spec a car in the US so sparsely. Those wheels are also not available here.

The car looks more like African spec, then Euro spec! In the UK you can't get the petrol + you can't get such a basic spec car. I can't imagine anywhere in europe (apart from Eastern europe) where such a basic spec is being sold. How did this car get into the US supply chain?

If you look in the user manual, you can see the basic dials for temp control etc. It's standard in most markets to have the better setup though. I think there are some markets without the 6" iDrive screen as standard on the X3 - someone posted a pic a while back

If you look at realOEM it indicates a US spec car.

I think I'd prefer the 2 cubby holes than my iDrive (I don't have nav).

Someone is playing games.

The car's spec includes.
3-spoke leather-wrapped multi-function sport steering wheel with controls for audio system, cruise control, and Bluetooth wireless communication for hands-free mobile phone (if so equipped).

The picture shows a different steering wheel?

Careless picture selection or has some 'toerag' stolen the correct steering wheel?

It looks like one of the early pre production cars that were traveling
to all the NA dealerships as a preview back in nov. 2010.

"Generously equipped with power windows and power locks"

Nice to see your used car adverts are as hopeless as ours when it comes to listing options!!

The original UK brochure pictures had this steering wheel with no buttons. We assumed it was pre-production.

Definitely not a euro spec as it has those awful orange indicators you're stuck with in the US

That spec is from a 2012 Japanese spec X3.

Agree - production date is 2010-08-04. Also DVD Area code 1 (USA/Canada) + similar preparation for mobile phone + BMW US Radio.

That's a weird mix. Steering wheel is from a 20i manual Euro-basics model. And it still got a screen, as the Euro-basic-specs is only a glovebox. And the climate control is also not the Euro-basic-spec model.

As above it's pre-production, hence no buttons on the steering wheel like in the early brochure pics from Sep 2010. Mystery solved
