Auto Leather Gator
Just noticed on Sabians pics that some X3's have a leather gator around the auto shift rather than the plastic trim I got!
Is it a UK/US thing or Diesel/Petrol? I feel cheated Photo below of my auto with plastic (boooooooo) Leather gator on Sabians X3

RealOEM.com is your friend. The leather only comes with the sport automatic transmission. |

On the UK car configurator for the X3 30d SE, what option do I tick for the leather like Sabian's?

//edit: checked the configurator, this nice stick is indeed only with the sportautomatic transmission and this is not available for the x3 30d... it is available for the 5series 25d, 30d, etc... so fuck knows why they cannot give us that option on the X3 30d. If it was not because of the greatness of the BMW driving dynamics I would really like to tell them to go f* themselves, the marketing of BMW is worse then a pedo priest in a childgarden So lessons learned: when going for BMW get the biggest, in this case X5 if you want to have all the sweet stuff... and it will even not be that more expensive Last edited by coiken; 05-30-2011 at 11:01 AM.. |

Dont worry coiken it is a big step up from the X1 interior, I would have liked the leather gator but it no deal breaker
Enough pressure and it might be made available (like they did with the sports steering wheel in europe as a stand alone option)

I don't mind spending some € on options and personalizing features but they don't allow us too... Don't get me wrong, I love these cars, but I honestly believe they could be even a lot better if they would offer the customization options Audi has. |
