So where was the two tone exterior colour on the configurator?? I must have missed that!
Look forward to hearing what your first impressions are. Enjoy.

Mine's still saying January 2015 :/

Then again, I already have an F25 X3 up until September and it might be quite nice to have a change for the few months in between.

Excellent, look forward to seeing some pics.
Is this your first X3, or a replacement? I'm just interested to hear how much of a difference there is between the pre-face lift model and this one in terms of sound proofing, as the 2.0D can sound a little gruff on idle / pull away.

Cheers

It's a completely new engine in the 2.0d. Apparently much smoother than pre-lci according to all the reviews.
Anyway, more photos! I need something to keep me from checking the track and trace on the Wallenius Wilhelmsen website!

This is my first X3, but the test drives were in pre-LCI models and much noisier that mine.

New engine really is quiet and smooth - big improvement - very quiet cruising at 80 mph.

Nice - definitely an improvement on the pre-LCI. Good choice sticking with the 17" wheels - I have those on mine and they're more economical and still look good (when they're clean).

Only 6 months to wait for my new one that was ordered a month ago. I wonder what sort of lead times people who order now are being quoted?

And the Business Nav looks perfectly good on the dash. I was a bit concerned the smaller screen would look lost in the space allowed to accommodate the bigger screen, but it looks absolutely fine. How've you found the Nav system and DAB?

I thought the indicators on the LC1 were being moved from the wing onto the wing mirrors? As I mistaken? Like the chrome strip on the steering wheel - always thought the steering wheel looked dull (my FL2 had chrome strips running either side of the steering wheel centre)

I thought LCI had indicators on the wing mirrors too.. Not sure if its photos and we can't see them?

The wing indicators have been much reported to be only plugged so might be that what we can see.

Thanks for the photos.. good to finally see RHD model..

Yes, the indicators are in the wing mirrors now. The flash in the wing itself is a chrome trim "plug". Photos don't show it well. I will try and do another shot.

Also, Business Sat Nav is very good. Sits better in the dash with 2 vertical satin chrome trim strips which stop it looking too lost. Pre LCI was just blank I think.

Are those 305 wheels? I searched all over the web before ordering my next X3 but couldn't find pics. They look big for 17" ... are they something else?
