Really nice car. Good luck with it.

Three questions please:

1. What are the buttons for in front of the door handles?

2. Is the fuse box still essentially inaccessible behind the glove compartment?

3. Does it default to the eco-pro mode or can you make it default into a more aggressive driving mode?

Sigmeister04 · 10-11-2014, 09:30 PM

Great looking X3! I ordered mine a few weeks ago and am looking forward to delivery by the end of the month. Quick question for you.... Where did you get the license plate bracket for the front end?

1. For the F25 LCI, BMW finally put the lock/unlock buttons on the doors, next to the handles, instead of on the center console.

2. Yes. The two fuse boxes are located behind the glove compartment and behind the right fender.

3. I have only driven it twice so far so I will check and get back to you. I believe it always starts in comfort for me.

It is a great bracket, I highly recommend it. I had concerns about whether the bracket would clear the little bump on the M Sport bumper but rest assured there is plenty of room. It works with M Sport and PDC as well.

Really nice pics. I have surprised how few Moch interiors have been chosen by people on here - how does it look in the flesh - I think it looks great

jonsc · 10-12-2014, 02:24 AM

Thanks! I'd say the Mocha looks even better in person. It can get really washed out in photos. I never actually never had the opportunity to see Mocha in person before ordering and took the chance and just ordered it based on the photos I've seen of it.

Northandy · 10-12-2014, 05:35 AM

Very nice, looks great in white

Amber · 10-13-2014, 12:45 AM

I would be interested to learn what it cost to put this beauty on the road in the
USA.

jonsc · 10-13-2014, 02:05 AM

MSRP is $50450, before tax. It would probably be a lot more to buy the same car where you are.

Amber · 10-13-2014, 05:20 AM

Yes thats why I buy in America.
Thanks

bounderboy · 10-13-2014, 02:10 PM

Probably not appropriate for a BMW forum but just interested what camera and lens you used... Photos really nice...

Loved seeing Mocha interior - what I have on order

How do you get the vehicle across the border, including your warranty? I was under the impression U.S. dealers would NOT sell to Canadians.

Could almost gave guessed - we have that lens at work very nice - will be borrowing for pics when my car arrives :-)

Congrats

AW 2014 here

Amber · 10-14-2014, 01:06 PM

Its really not that difficult once you understand import requirements.
The description of the process is rather lengthy however, if you want to send me your phone number I will go over it with you, but it will cost you a bottle of nice bottle of Scotch.

seff5677 · 10-14-2014, 02:26 PM

Quick question i noticed you got the cold weather package with M-Sport pkg did you get heated steering wheel function?

Do you have headlight washers as well?

Thanks!

Yes, I have both the heated steering wheel and headlight washers. I know in some regions Cold Weather Package and M-Sport were not compatible but my car does have both without issues.

seff5677 · 10-14-2014, 03:12 PM

Awesome

I have on order exact same car as you but with different interior colour, so I'm happy to know i get this as well

Thanks for the quick response

seff5677 · 10-14-2014, 06:02 PM

I like the plate as well on the front, did you ask your dealer before delivery not to mount the front plate ? You did it yourself afterwards i guess. I like it i want to do the same i don't want dealer drilling holes through the bumper

jonsc · 10-14-2014, 08:52 PM

Yup, I specifically asked my CA to not drill the front bumper. I drove it home with no front plate and installed the bracket myself. I would highly recommend it!
