Received "the call" ;-)

Yesterday the dealer called me with the good news that my car has finally made the trip from South Carolina to Holland (ordered in Feb)!

Next week they'll prepare it for delivery and on Thursday the parking heater will be installed. Fingers crossed delivery will be on Friday or Saturday next week

Will go there today to look at my baby! Will post some pics if I get the opportunity to shoot some photos.

A parking heater pre-heats the engine and the car. It uses a timer and/or a remote control; at the set time the engine and car interior will be warm. Also: no more de-icing of windows in the morning! Most German/Swedish brands offer this as a factory installed accessory but for the X3 you need an after market system (see the link in my signature). It works on the car's fuel so no hassle with cables.

Made some pics at the dealer this morning. It looks great! The cup holders don't have the chrome inserts I've seen on pics of other X3's on the forum. Is that only available in the USA? My car has been build recently as you can see on the label in the third picture

The cupholder inserts are often stored in the front door pocket or rear of the car during transit. They should be there after the dealer preps her! Congrats!!

Are the cup holder inserts standard only on the X335???
I just picked mine (X328) and no cup holder inserts...is it part of a package??

Enjoy!
