Congrats what colour did you order? I have ordered a LCI in Carbon Black and my dealer tells me there maybe a few weeks delay for that colour. I am also hoping for July delivery.

Grüzi / Salut Bmwch,

Does Bmw Switzerland makes/offers the same packages as listed on the german price list?

Hello !

I didn't found the German price list.

However, I confirm to you that's a lot of special packs are available (with money advantage).

There is also :

"Euro Bonus -CHF 3'000"

Swiss Special Edition Advantage - 2710.-

...and Welcome edition "Free HUD Display...."

Not bad at all, no ?

Hello BMWCH

Greetings from Geneva's lake.
You can found the german x3 lci price list on www.bmw.de on the page dedicated to the lci x3 at the bottom of the page. Here is the direct link http://www.bmw.de/dam/brandBM/market...1706281082.pdf
Nice to hear hud display is free, it is something i wanted to have in my next car. It seems we have the same actual car, i have a 2011 x3 35i msport space grey. How many km have you done with yours?
I still don t know if i take again a x3 or I move to the x4. I have been invited to see the x4 live on monday march 10th. Let s wait and see

Hello SANK,

Thanks for the German price list.

Yep, it seem's that we have the same color car, but not the same engine for me...
My actual car has 50'000 km.

You're invited to see the new X4 ? That's sound good :thump:

Do you see the new optional full LED light ? If my understanding is right, that is the only way to make disapears all "old fashion bulb light..."

Hi BMWCH

Ok i did some km more than you, currently I have done 130'000km, since 2 and 1/2 year.
Yep my dealer invited me to see the new x4 during the gva's automobile show. the new teaser that appeared today looks very hot, i just need to take the decision to go for the 35d or keep with petrol engine 35i.
Full led is something i will take for sure but I haven t seen it closely until yet.
And i was wondering if they kept space grey on the x4 or if we get mineral grey, which i would like to have.

Wahoo... 130'000 km...

For the full LED light, BMW don^t communicate a lot for the X3 until now...

This link could give you a spy view about this kind of lights... :

http://www.autoevolution.com/bmw-blo...7383.html#sjmp

I think the X4 will be a new "Killer car" for BMW...

Enjoy the Geneva's show !

Yes 130'000 km in 2,5 years is what I call driving pleasure

Have a look at the video, you will found more details on the full leds front lights: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zWurtl4ym28

I must say the x3 lci with xline is really gorgeous. Bmw has done a great job.

Thank you for your reply...

I've noticed that is not a new information, but until today, it seem's that no pictures or videos of the turning led signal are available....

It appears that there is a new place for this function into the full led lights.

Have you some information about that ?

You're right, the Xline is really gorgeous...

I think it's a shame that BMW don't paint the entire car if this is not the M package....

The bumper's and side's in black are not really cool....

I own a 2013 X3 I'm very happy with and I've read this thread with interest. I plan on keeping my current X3 for a few more years, but I find the announcement interesting for perhaps a different reason than many of the previous posters ...

While I agree with those who find the wider headlights unattractive, in the greater scheme of things this is like fashion designers making suit lapels and ties wide, then narrow, then wide again ... it's a fashion thing and doesn't matter all that much (IMHO) ... it will probably change again in 3 years.

My interest is more about technology, and I think its great to see BMW finally deploying into the X3 things such as lane assist, adaptive cruise control, parking assist. My semi-informed opinion is that BMW has not been keeping up with the industry in this regard, and Audi in particular, but also many of the non luxury brands who have been deploying these features in recent years.

Is there some cultural or engineering reason why BMW is late to the party? As a luxury brand it should be leading the industry in deployment of advanced technology but it seems to have become a follower.

There, that ought to stir things up a bit

On a similar note, based on recent press articles, it seems BMW is undecided about what to do with IOS In the Car.

I understand the business and design challenges that IOS in the Car present to a car manufacturer, but here's another potentially inflammatory opinion

I don't find iDrive navigation (maps) particularly good, especially the so-so perspective mode. I would much rather use either the built-in IOS maps navigation (much improved since the disastrous launch) or Google Maps navigation, or even Navigon, but on the larger car screen.

Am I the only person who finds the navigation tools available to me on my smartphone superior to what's built into the car? Plus I don't get charged $300 for a set of map updates.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out over the next few years.

I am planning to order new LCI model, 2.0 xd (190 hp), my dealer told me that if I will place the order now, car will arrive late June.
I agree with a previous opinion that asking for 2600 eur integrated navigation system is hilarious, than each year again 230 eur for updates...
I think BMW knows how to make money, and we'll never catch the day when you can use Google Maps from your phone to your car screen.
I am buying the navigation system because the car is almost full options, and it is good for reselling value.
However new safety options are welcome! I will tick all of them! Hoping also like some known problem of F25 to be rectified. I read so many troubles with panoramic roof and I decided to cancel this option. Looks like a beautiful car, but I wait to see it live in showroom before placing the order. I asked in Romania about any "Welcome Package" nobody seems to hear about such things! Anyhow I got a nice 12% discount, so I am happy!

Hi BMW CH,

In the link I published, I m not sure that it was the led one. It looks more than the traditional xenon ones.
Anyway www.bmw.com has updated the x3 page. Now there is only the lci available. On the left list, click on "Design" then on "adaptive led headlights" on the new menu, and you will find detailed pictures of the led lights.
