Bye Bye Loaner

Finally got to pick up my "for keeps" X3 on Thursday! This time all the options were there along with the sticker

Now I get to break this one in all over again! Nice to finally have my plate on and the dealer plate off!!

turbotoy4me · 07-10-2011, 04:06 AM

Congratulations. It has been quite a wait for you. Would love to see some PIC's of the newer version of your X3!

sfax · 07-10-2011, 07:03 AM

Congratulations WTT (again!

). Hope everything works out well for you this time. Sounds like a good start!

WTT, how does the premium audio sound compare to the standard audio? It does get smoother after the initial break in.

NYC_340i · 07-10-2011, 09:35 AM

Congrats finally! Post pics of the new one!

It is def. better but I'm still tweaking it to get it just right! Has more "volume" to it and it is nice having the rear speakers. I got the power tailgate added to the order this time around since it wasn't holding things up during production. Finding it useful already! Another bonus is my Ipod actually works in this one! On the loaner it quit working because of a software glitch on BMW's end. I just sucked it up since it was a loaner, but would have been pissed if it didn't work on this one. Only 40 miles on the Odo so time will tell

Congrats (again!).

Lighting stinks as I only got one interior pic while the sun was out, but took a few quick ones before it rains. I'll add more when it is sunny out

509trooper · 07-10-2011, 07:45 PM

Beautiful!

colton_matthias · 07-10-2011, 11:11 PM

Can you take some pictures of the heads up display and stuff like that? As well, did you get the storage package and did you get the silver cup holder rings? Thanks.

Your car looks great btw!!!

turbotoy4me · 07-10-2011, 11:17 PM

Congrats. That is one great looking X3. Let me know how you like the HUD feature.

Thanks Colton. I got just about everything but the HUD. The storage package is part of our premium package in the U.S. The silver cup holder rings came with it. You can see on the interior pic I have one in and one out (when the rings are in, a lot of drinks won't fit in the cupholder anymore) so I like to keep one open to hold drinks that won't fit in the ringed holder. If you want pics of anything else specific, just let me know

HUD is one of the few things I didn't get. Did you?

colton_matthias · 07-10-2011, 11:58 PM

LOL.... i thought you had everything thats why i asked =P...

mibmwx3 · 07-11-2011, 07:15 AM

About to rain here too. Talking about the possibility of golf ball size hail and 70 mile wind gusts, so I'm staying put for 30 minutes until the warning is over here.

That's funny! I just looked at radar and it looks like all hell is about to break loose! Car is in the garage and I'm not going anywhere until its done!!

I left after the first round. Has been raining quite a bit since then but no hail. Should have worked from home today.

Per woodtv.com: A pair of strong to severe bow echoes will work their way through the area between now and 1 p.m. In addition to wind gusts up to 70 mph, there could be some 1 inch hail, along with heavy rain and frequent lightning.

I'm at Panera right now as the power is out for the long haul. We had 90 mph winds come through. Flipped our gas grill and tossed it out in the lawn, took down a big tree in the back yard as well as a bunch of branches and ripped the downspout off the side of the house. The kids baskball hoop also flipped over, but luckly the backboard didn't shatter. Sure glad my X was in the garage.

Wow. I think it was worse in Kazoo. I work in Ada and my car was safe when I checked around noon. Called my number and the answering machine kicked in, so I still have power. Hope my dog is ok. Ever since lighting struck my house two years ago, she gets nervous when it storms.
