Jason,

Thanks. No mention of the N20. Is there a chance that it will still be included in the Sept/Oct change or are we looking at another 7 month wait and see???

[Jason]

No mention of N20. Don't know when it may be included, sorry.

[ohnoyuji]

Is it a typo?
12000$ for Head up display??

My Ca told me it will be for the 2013 or even 2014 model...the change for N20.

[SamS]

Bummer about no N20. Wife needs a new car. Guess we'll hang on until next year for N20 X3, or X1 (even better).

CA comments alone don't do a whole lot for me, but all these announcements with no mention of engine changes bothers me much more. So far, X1, Z4, and 528i getting the N20, the X3 should be next, just a matter of when.

Also, I see that the California EPA has only approved the N20 for the X1. So there should be something coming for Z4 and 528i. Hopefully the same announcement will include the X3.

I see ambiance lighting is now included in ZPP, whereas it wasn't available at all before. Did they add that feature? That would be great if it is like the ambiance lighting in my F10. Getting ready to order an X3 for my wife.

[Mako]

hmmm, well the stock market dropping 10% in the last two weeks has certainly changed my mind about some things! Things are looking pretty glim for the US (and globaly) I have a feeling X3 sales are going to drop off especially seen as they basically increased the base price in the US by $1350 by forcing options a lot of us wouldn't get (conv package now included in premium package which you have to get if you want SA or M package...) do the math on a 35i and most of you will be paying more for a 2012 than a 2011 because of the package changes. 28i hasn't changed but no new engine, might have to hang on to the old SUV till a 35d, new N20 engine, or Audi Q5 Hybrid comes out

[ZGMF20A SF]

what exactly is the high gross instrument panel? anyone has a pic of it?

[JasonCSU]

The M sport package and the technology package both require the premium package. Looks like they want to force ordering more fully loaded vehicles.

First post here, been reading the forum for a month now and it's full of great information. I'm going to order a X3 35i but I decided to hold out for a 2012. I plan I getting mine fairly loaded and with the new packages, It will work out better for me. I will get the 19" 309 rims, Anthracite headliner, Sirius radio, and floor mats for only $225 more than my 2011 build. Pretty decent amount of stuff for and extra $225.

Gongrats! Glad the info helped you.

Welcome to the community.

If the production for 2012 model starts in September, why does the pricing list have an effective date of October 1? Does it mean X3 produced in September will be a 2012 model but with 2011 model pricing?

I was told that some of that early production will be going to other markets and that US orders would not be delivered until 10/1

[therealjoeyj]

still no multi-contour seats :-(

Too big (restrict rear leg room)

Too heavy (added weight affect fuel economy numbers)

Too expensive (not enough people prepared to put them on their options list for them to be economically viable)

[vase330]

Boooohoooo; Underwhelmed here No diesel WTF? Audi where you at?

[ColoradoX3]

I placed my 2011 35i order two weeks ago and was told by my SA at the time 2012's would not be available for another 5-6 months. So is it safe to say the deliveries will actually begin 10/1. If so I'm going to see if I can have mine switched to a 2012 since I don't have a production number yet....does anyone know if that's possible?

With the US peso basically worthless BMW is better off selling them abroad anyway. X3 starts at $80K in China for example.

Any word on Canadian 2012 Pricing? I put an order in 2 weeks ago, still don't have a production number. I am fine with an '11 as I will keep the car for the long term, but with the Can $ well above par was wondering if there might be a price cut?
