Agreed with the roof, which is why I’m waiting to order for the new August builds, when we can at least order the ‘M Driver’s Pkg’ which deletes the moon roof. Have to pay more for that option but then they delete the cost of the moon roof so not a major issue for us.

Welcome to the Forum, MrItaly. The CF strut bar certainly should be able to be added post-production so wouldn’t delay your order based on that alone. Over in Europe you can apparently order the X3M without the heavy Moon roof now, so as ID7 is apparently not an issue anymore, wouldn’t see a major issue to wait IMHO.

Thanks for sharing the image and your thoughts. Your image suggests this one may not have had the Moon Roof? If you can confirm, that would be the first X3M I’ve seen without one.
