"Live Camera Temporarily Not Available" -- uugggh
So I see that the build video for my wife's 2012 X3 is now available on line. I gather the wife and my excited 7 year old son to watch around my PC.
I start up the video and everything is great so far -- we see my wife's actual vehicle getting the moon roof installed; the windshield installed; the "tilt"; the "marriage" of the drive train to the body; and the "touch down". But then we get to the grand finale, where you see your x3 driving under its own power for the 1st time . . . but instead of my wife's X3 we see this message: "Live Camera Temporarily Not Available". And we see some generic x3 driving away. You've got to be kidding me. What a let down. How does that happen? Its not like they run out of film on digital cameras. Anyway, here is the anti-climatic video: http://www.bmwusa.com/Standard/Conte...berid=51233510 |

Same camera was out of order for mine as well. Disappointing, but once you get your X3 you won't care any more.

Well, I can't believe it!! Long after we stopped thinking about our build video, assuming it wasn't to be...the dvd shows up. And all cameras were working. Didn't expect it after all this time. I take back my earlier jealous snipe Caesardog.

I got my video today and one camera was down during my production. Fortunately it was only the windshield installation camera so I did get to seem my X3 drive of the line. It was pretty cool to see it. I am picking it up at the Performance Delivery Center on Oct 31st.

Well like others said at least you get to see the video. Would be cool if they include the video in the DVD along with the car manuals etc for all markets, but maybe those are reserved for Rolls Royce customers

Worthless piece of video "HYPE" on BMW's part.

I think when they are saying DVD they actually just mean the online video. I don't know of anyone that has gotten a true "DVD" hard copy.

Wow, I wonder if this is something new they are doing for everyone, or only those that got a delayed video. In the past you just the video online. Anyone else get a hard copy?

only reason i ask, i can click the link to view mine any time, haven't been able to download a copy and save it to my hard drive though - every attempt appeared to succeed but then cuts off half way during playback. a plastic coaster-like DVD would solve that problem.
