I've decided to change my x-line to an m-sport. At least the wheels are nice. I'd rather pay a it more and be happy with what I get.

Good decision. The MSport looks so much better in the flesh than in the photos. The photos flatten out the front bumper, the contours in real life make a big difference.

When I looked at the spec of my xline then compare the price of the msport I'm only a grand apart. If I added the 19s to xline it would only be £200 difference Just waiting for my sales guy to update the quotes and I'll make a decision

VAT + £3,000 over SE So, pretty much all cosmetic for both kits but both are an improvement on the looks over the SE. I find that colour has a big influence on how pronounced the aesthetics are. For example, with some colours the differences between the SE and xLine are hardly visible (white, mineral silver, space grey and black - have to look quite hard to see the differences). I think the melbourne red looks best with the xLine trim where the silver trim really sets things off i.e. I prefer the xLine to the Msport for this colour. I think the same is true for DSB. For some colours, especially white, the Msport trim looks really special and a significant improvement over both SE and xLine.

I've changed my order to an M-sport following the wheel debacle. Due to get built in the 1st week of Dec. The spec is :-
3.0L M-sport Black Sapphire Black Leather Fine Anthracite Trim Media Package Interior Comfort package M-Sport plus package LED Headlight VDC Towbar Folding Mirrors Seat heating rear / steering wheel The price is a touch more than an X-line with the 19" wheels. Not long to wait now. |

I assume that with an enhanced residual it wouldn't be much more per month ? When I looked at adding 19's to my xline the difference was only about £200 between that and an msport I would have thought the gmfv would have cancelled that out? Unless of course bmw expects the xline to hold it's value better than an msport ? I really miss the finance tool on the bmw site as it was great for working out payments and options and the effect on finance

I wanted the m sport pack but didn't want the 20 inch wheels, I love the look but was concerned that without vdc it would be too hard so I can understand you going for that.

Yep, heated steering wheel is excellent. Sounds like a gimmick until you get it (it was included in the cold weather pack on my first X3)

I get my new X3 3rd Dec.
MSport Space Grey Saddle Burr Walnut Aluminium rails and window surrounds Reversing camera Moon roof VDC and a nice engine... I've been cleaning up my current car ready to be returned. The McLaren 650s I drove 10 days ago at Millbrook at 175mph has unfortunately spoilt me.
