Just to be clear, the pic you posted is not the G01, just the 2017 MY update?

Those tails look stunning, about time they got it up to snuff.

Edit: Are you sure that isn't an X1?

Do the "tubes" look more "glowy" or is it a redesign? And yes those are technical terminology

That's an X1

Doubt they will change headlights or taillights for 2016/2017 as new model will be released soon

I looked at that post before having my morning coffee, walked to the kitchen, made a coffee, and then it came to me. I hang my head for not having spotted it immediately

Man I envy you... be sure to post some pics of the new X3 when she arrives! Can't wait to check out your setup.

As for mine, expected delivery beginning of September... Imagine that, I ordered it in the last week of March!! Oh well time flies during the summer, so at least there's that.

I really could have sworn I read the badge "X3" as the vehicle passed me on my right. I dunno. You can for sure be right.

That's very early indeed!! Great start of the summer for you! Congrats!

Mine should be coming in as well in the next week or so.

What spec did you order?

Did you already pick up your new X3?

Mine arrived at the dealer on Friday. Probably looking to pick it up on Saturday

Got er' on Friday! Haven't had much time to play with it, here's a few pics

It has the new iDrive system too! It's awesome, the tile start screen and a totally new layout. It's snappier and easier to figure out than the old one. Hopefully yours has it too!

Edit: How the heck do you upload pics?!

Would love to see some pictures... and a bit of an update. Mine arrives in a month, not a ton of info out there for the 2017 x3.

Throw your pics up on photo bucket then link to them, they just need to be hosted somewhere.

Those updates should be everywhere for newly build X3's since April 2016.

They didn't show on the BMW build and price page (Canada) which was why I asked... This is going to be a long month!

If you ordered m sport than steering wheel is the new m sport steering wheel.

Idrive5 is on all new ordered X3's.

If you know the line (m sport/basic/xline) colour exterior/interior and what packages then you'll know the broad lines.

Mine is a M sport, carbon black/ oyster nevada leather, nav pro, led headlights, pano roof, tinted rear windows, wireless charging and wifi hotspot preparation, hud, fineline anthrazit wood

Yes I ordered: M sport, carbon black / oyster nevada, Premium Enhanced, Fineline antracite, Drive assistant plus.

I didn't get the LED headlights and am second guessing that a little bit. Also didn't get the wireless charging... but overall pretty similar.

Question, without the LED headlight package, will I still be rid of the hideous orange turn signals on the front that I have in my 2013 x3?

Basically almost same spec as mine! Good choice!

With the Xenons you have the blinking lights on the side, with the LED's you have them on top in a line-like light. Looks much butter and i'm extremely happy with the LEDs!

I love it man, looks amazing. This just got me EVEN more excited.
Thanks for the pic!

Now I'm confused about the lights. So mine will be clear, no orange, but they will blink on side and not in line? I just don't want the orange
