Our M Sport LCI in Carbon Black
We collected our new F25 2.0d M Sport in Carbon Black yesterday, it was a bit of an impulse buy as we only saw it for the first time a week ago. It was an unregistered cancelled order that had just arrived at the dealership, so we avoided the long wait with a week between order & collection.
It's my wife's new car but it drives very nicely (when I'm allowed near it) Looks very black but when the light hits it from the right angle Interior is a nice place to be Leather, heated seats, business nav, climate control, F&R PDC are all standard with the M Sport spec Since I've had aircon in cars, I've never been interested in sunroofs but this one is amazing - it makes the interior or the car so light & bright Last edited by PerryGunn; 09-28-2014 at 07:22 AM..

Very nice, I have ordered space grey but everytime I see pictures of an lci m sport I want to change, I originally had carbon black on my quote, but swapped when I ordered.
I still find it a bit cheeky bmw don't put xenons on the x3 as standard. Sunroof looks great |

Spec is a real issue ... I decided that I wanted to keep it sensible so choices had to be made ... I went for the full visibility pack over Pro Nav ... Living in the Lancashire hills and commuting mainly on unlit roads as well as frequent trips to Ireland I will get value out of it ..
I want the black panel and RTTI ... but I must pay £900 for the connected drive etc which in my current Pro Nav car I have used a handful of times .. Tech is moving so fast that a smart phone leaves the factory set up so far behind ... certainly for browsing the internet ! So compromises have to be made

Picked up a set of winter wheels today - though I'd get in before the rush starts with the first cold snap
Didn't want to mess around too much wondering if wheels from other vehicles would fit the F25 so I got a set of 18" 307s shod with 245/50 Dunlop SP Winter Sport 3D runflats

Thank you... nice to be here...
...took my son off to start his university studies in the F25 yesterday, first long trip but it was 200+ very comfortable miles Also spent some time with the laptop doing a bit of car coding and - Added confirmation beeps on lock/unlock - Enabled auto stop/start memory so it retains last used state - Enabled closing of tailgate with keyfob - Disabled driver & passenger seatbelt 'bongs' We're very pleased with it so far

There are a couple of pictures of an F25 on 307s in this thread http://x3.xbimmers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=465045
They looked good enough to convince me to get them...

Done a little more coding on the F25 and added a feature that we used a lot in our F20 and converted the cruise control SET button to a LIM button - this acts as a soft limiter on the speed and is very useful when there are speed cameras around. Doesn't affect cruise control functionality either.
It works beautifully, set speed is shown and LIM lights up in the console, the green marker appears on the edge of the speedo and can be adjusted using the cruise control rocker Another 'free' function that's built into the car and just needs enabling

In the normal configuration, SET just duplicates the functions available on the other buttons Once cruise control is turned on and the speed marker set at the required speed, there are 3 ways of activating the initial cruise speed (SET, RES and pressing the rocker), when SET is used for the LIM function, you can use either of the others to set the cruise speed - I tend to use RES to activate it, while a single press on the 'cruise' button temporarily deactivates cruise while leaving the set speed marker so you can use RES to resume the previous speed
