Hi from Alberta, new X3

breezygirl · 02-12-2015, 01:01 PM

Hi everyone, so glad to be a member of your wonderful forum. I'm a new owner of a 2015 X3 xDrive28i.

We ordered it on November 4 and it came in January 30. So I believe it took just over 12 weeks. We are finally picking it up tomorrow as my husband was out of town and wanted to be there and we had a last minute private buyer of our vehicle we were going to trade in. Yay!!!

We got the following options:

-Premium Package Enhanced
-Technology Package
-Executive Package
-BMW ConnectedDrive Business with ARRTI
-Sport Seats
-19" tires with 608 Y-spoke rims
-Alpine White
-Black Nevada leather/Embossing/Contrasting Stitching
-Burled Walnut trim (hubby had to pick something, lol)

Looking forward to getting to know all of you and your beautiful BMW's!!!

Congrats with your new car.

ecsw · 02-12-2015, 05:48 PM

congrats! I would like to see how the sport seats looks different for sure.

ianfp · 02-13-2015, 06:41 AM

That sounds like a really nice car and welcome to the forums!

Congrats, I hate ordering cars, the wait is almost unbearable.

+1 - emphatically. This is agony, I obsessively call the 800 number and get the same "your vehicle is scheduled for production, with no production date yet" day in and day out.

Congrats and welcome, now those of us waiting will pester you for photos so we can live vicariously through your new X3 enjoyment!

breezygirl · 02-13-2015, 10:46 AM

Thanks so much everyone! I'll post some pics as soon as I can. For all of you still waiting, hopefully yours will all come soon.

breezygirl · 02-13-2015, 11:14 PM

Brought her home, no pics yet as we had freezing rain and ice pellets falling when we drove off the lot. Our X3 is amazing and can't wait to test her out.

breezygirl · 02-16-2015, 08:52 PM

Here are a few pics of the sport seats.

For some reason they did not post. Hmmm, don't know.

breezygirl · 02-17-2015, 08:46 AM

Trying again.

No luck, they seem to load. Then the photos do not show up in post.

ecsw · 02-17-2015, 12:37 PM

create account or upload directly to photobucket.com. Then copy and paste the Image tag or URL

wingless · 02-17-2015, 12:56 PM

As was stated, upload the pictures up to your free Photobucket account, then surround the URL of the image w/ [ IMG ] image url [ /IMG ] w/o any spaces in your reply for the image to display.

Welcome to the forum!

Good luck w/ your new car. It sounds very nice!

All of the folders in my Photobucket account are password protected and I can post them or share them as-desired, just like the URL for your image that I inserted into your post.

Thank you so much for all your help. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

All I did was follow the instructions above, surrounding the image URL w/ the image tags, w/o spaces.

What are the additional image URLs?

breezygirl · 02-17-2015, 06:44 PM

I tried that. Do I remove the spaces in the image tags too? I tried doing that, I kept them, removed spaces before and after tags. Nothing seemed to work for me. I'm usually good at attaching images on other forums. Just stumped here lol. Thanks again so much.

I made a new Photobucket account and it should be public. I put some photos of our X3 there for those who want to see them. I'll add better ones once the weather is nicer. Here's the link.

Congrats, black contrast interior looks nice. I can't see the burled walnut trim, looks good I'm sure.
