Took Delivery Today!
Took our new member of the family home today:
Specs: Alpine White X3 35i Premium Package Sport Package Technology Package 309 Double Spoke rims Premium Hi-Fi Fineline Wave Wood This thing is awesome. Below are a few quick pics. I'll have more tomorrow. A few quick comments: -This thing is powerful. While cruising the highway, it's too easy to hit 80-90, especially in sport and sport+ mode. Normal is plenty peppy and mpg is much better. - Coming from a 330, the ride smooths out the potholes in the City wonderfully. - The technology is impressive, if a bit overwhelming at first. I need to get used to all the bells and whistles, and there sure are a lot of them. Couldn't figure out how to cancel navigation once I reached my destination. That was annoying. - I LOVE the double spoke 309's and the overall trim from the sport package. - I like the lighting at the bottom of the door bins and the angel eyes as daytime running lights. - I probably should have gotten the pushbutton tailgate. We have everything else on this car but missed this. (Not because it's that hard to close, only because everything else seem to be technologically enabled). - While simple and clean, I kind of miss the 5 increments on the speedometer. 45,45,65,75 etc. - Damn there are a lot of buttons on the steering wheel. - At night, the dash looks a bit odd with one off-center section glowing differently from the rest of the instrument cluster. - I can't wait to take it out again.

Congratulations! Looks great. 100% with you on the technology, the 309s, the angel eyes and the door lighting
Also agree on the speedo, sometimes at first glance you can confuse a 10 increment with a 5

Nice looking car. I think the white suites it well. Enjoy those first drives!! Well, all of them, but the first ones are particularly fun . . . .
