White Horse - Alpine White X3 2.0d Xline
Guys ! .. Here it is - we bought a X3 2.0D Xdrive Xline edition - Alpine White. Well, in India the story is slightly different - we don’t get to tailor make our BMWs but just have to go with the trims that have been set for each model. Here, the LCI version doesn’t come in 3.0D yet and Xline is the top line edition available.
A couple of features - 1. Performance control 2. EDC 3. Drive experience control with EcoPro 4. BMW Live - though I haven’t been able to get this working. I have 6AL and 6NS and can only update services via phone’s hotspot but shows a blank page for BMW live while the rocker graphic stops rotating(loading) 5. Xenons with LED fogs. Adaptive LEDS option not available for X3, only available for X5 6. Extended storage package 7. 18in RFTs 245/50/R18 - Y design (pictures below) 8. Hifi speaker system 7channels, 9speakers. BMW secure package. So far, I haven’t been able to turn off Residual Heat function and I see those 3-4 up arrows next to temperature indicator on both sides. I live in a hot country and tried hard to turn off residual heat function but those wriggly arrows dont go away. I have a feeling that my efficiency of AC may be reduced since its on but not sure - if anyone can confirm that will really be helpful. The other one is BMW live with just opens with blank page even though i connects via bluetooth hotspot of my iPhone. Not sure where it is going wrong. But apart from these, everything in the car is amazing - drive is good, the sport+ mode and sport modes are awesome. During traffic, eco-pro helps but I am still deciding my mind about the start-stop. I also got the CQuartz finest coating done on the car to lock in the glossiness. Some pictures below. |

Oh well, I can help in that. I just don't know how it set it off. I am doing everything the manual is saying but it doesn't turn off the residual heat.
Here's how to turn it on 1. Power off the car. (Just ignition off) 2. The small and large fan button - press it on large fan side beyond the highest fan setting. This should turn on the wiggly up arrows beside the temperature digits. This turns on the residual heat. |

Yup, I always keep that scroll towards the blue side to bring in the cold air. That scroll is between the 2 center AC vents near the emergency light.
As far as residual heat, here's what I was talking about. Just wanted to ensure we are on same page. Notice the wriggly up arrows next to temperature readouts on both sides. Thats what I am talking about. The manual gives a procedure to turn residual heat on which shows these symbols and a procedure to turn it off. The turning off is something I am not able to do even though I am following the manual word by word. |

Does residual heat work on Pre-LCI 3.0d? How do I enable? Could have done with this feature recently.
I read an old post that says the 28i the 35i have electronic water pumps that can keep running after engine shut down. 2.0i and all diesels have belt driven mechanical pumps. |

I posted a very very detailed review of X3 on one of the very active forums locally here.
I migrated to X3 from Q3 and did some comparison where I could. Here it is - with lots of pictures. http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/test-d...er-speaks.html |
