I've put my money where my mouth is...
In a thread on the new G01, there was a bit of discussion...

What they did have, however, was a build slot for a MSport 30d that could be configured as we wanted it, and a decent discount available if we could take delivery before the end of Dec to meet their quarterly targets.... so we had to go for it We didn't go mad on the options and dropped things like the panoramic roof on our current X3 as we don't find that we ever open it - shutter's closed in the summer and we find that if we leave it open in the winter for the extra light, the heat loss through the glass gets a bit much on cold days We kept it as Carbon Black as we're not keen on any of the other MSport colours (wish they did the MSport in Deep Sea Blue) so it ended up as 30d MSport in Carbon Black Oyster Leather Fineline Anthracite Media Package Professional Full LED Adaptive Headlights Sun Protection Glass Electric Folding Mirrors Extended Storage Roll on Christmas...

A new car at the end of its production run always tends to be a good purchase as all the bugs have been ironed out.
As far as the road tax saga goes in April 2017 where the price of the car is one of the governing factors, I would not be surprised if this George Osborne/David Cameron little project does not get dumped by the new regime.

Seriously, though, I have a reversing camera on one of our other cars and I prefer the PDC on the X3 to the camera As far as upgraded audio goes, I used to prefer premium audio in cars but I've reached the age where my hearing is starting to lose sensitivity and I have a minor case of tinnitus in my left ear so there's no point in spending money on something I won't get any benefit from - and my wife only ever listens to the radio in the car

What kind of discount if you don't mind sharing?
Thinking of changing from my F30 into one. I can see six month old ones with £10k off list and I'm getting tempted! |

I don't think it'd be fair to give full details as the deal was part of reaching quarterly targets, but I will say that, while it wasn't £10K off, the % discount plus some 'price support' on the car (plus a bit of additional haggling) meant that we could have a factory-build 30d comfortably cheaper than a discounted unregistered but in stock 20d of roughly equivalent spec...

Wow. Amazing deal congrats! The only good deals on 30d models I have seen, are on cars without professional media which is a big no no that's terrible for resale value. |
