UK x3 collected - first impressions
Firstly, thanks to this forum, I was able to buy the right second hand X3 20d Sport.
Sad to say, the car wasn't presented at its best on collection but then again, I'm fussy. Lots of tar spots on the paint, dirty inside the car, etc UK BMW dealers getting very complacent these days. Like...driving position, mechanical refinement, quality of leather and overall interior compared to Gen 1. Disappointed that iPod still needs BMW connector, basic Bluetooth is exactly what it says...no Bluetooth streaming. First mods include upgrading all interior lights to LED..makes a huge difference. As the car is white, contemplating ceramic paint coating...anyone done this ? Thanks again Prashan Last edited by gtr_skyline; 05-03-2014 at 03:50 PM.. Reason: Add pic |

Congratulations Prashan. I do agree with you about BMW dealers getting complacent about presentation and finish of their cars. I find one of the worst offenders to be BMW Park Lane and they are the only dealership in the country which is part of BMW and not a franchise. Their finish on used cars is awful!
At least you will be able to get the car to a better standard than your dealer. I haven't heard of the ceramic coating, but it sounds interesting. I wonder if they can do that on silver? |

Thanks Ian....had a contact at Park Lane, just wasn't proactive enough to find me a car. Here's a link to the ceramic quartz stuff...would be ideal on any colour car..including silver.
