Just ordered X3 30D yesterday...
Hello all,
Just put down a deposit for X3 30D yesterday, and was told the production will start in June and the car should be here in September. Here are the options: - Pro Nav - Xenon lights - Top view - 19inch 309 rim - Sun roof The colour is alpine white. I was offered a protection package called Fusion protection from a company called Advanced Protection. This includes paint protection with nano-ceramic technology, leather and carpet treatment against UV, heat and grime. The price is $2990 AUD includes window tinting for $895 AUD. It also has a life time warranty that I was told if anything happens to the paint I can bring the car to the dealer they will fix it up. I said yes to the offer but I won't have to pay until the car is here. After I got home I kind of regretted about the package, it's quite expensive, for that price I can probably upgrade to professional sound system... Has anyone heard of the package? Is it worth the money? |

They always try it on. I just bought my 30d, and was quoted similar. I said no, and organised my own tinting ($275), Opti-Coat ($499, google it), and a packet of leather wipes ($5). The Opti-Coat and wipes were at the recommendation of Kim from Detail Evolution here in Brisbane. Save yourself the money, spend it on something worthwhile. Edit - the Opti-Coat also has lifetime paintwork warranty.

It is cheaper than the one BMW offered, but still much more expensive than what you have paid. I guess Perth is such an isolated place and there is only one authorized applicator, the price will be sky high... |

Wow. The Brisbane installer gave me a bargain! That's a shame, it's good stuff.
I wouldn't have done it had it been that expensive.

It all OK.
You bought the Alpine White car. Just carry a bottle of liquid paper in the glove box. Now if you had ordered the Carbon Black, then you would have to worry about protecting the paint. (And I'm not bitter at all about my wife driving our X3 into the gate and putting marks down three panels and two door handles just to ensure she didn't drive over a toad )
