Certainly a very classic and well matched look.

The mocha with the copper certainly looks very good in those pictures. I originally ordered that combo but chickened out of the chocolate seats .. I saw the brown seats in a skoda yeti which just didn't look right at all and they put me off. Would love to see it in real life
I have seen a couple of "browns" in the 5 series which look good although they seemed a bit brighter. All the pictures of the copper I have seen look very good .... It seems the first time I see it will be when mine arrives

VIN will only be available once the production finishes hope I'll have this next wk. I have been changing options and model right up to 3 weeks ago ( started with SE, then changed to xline and finally changed to msport). Took a risk with the last change as dealer said the order might go back 8wks at least, fortunately no change to production date and delivery, he was surprised as well.

Extract from the website "Freedom of choice – it’s the very heart of the BMW production process. BMW produces at least 80 percent of its vehicles to customer order. When you stop to consider all the unique combinations of exterior and interior colors, engines, options, and upgrades available, it’s enough to tax the imagination. In fact, it’s been said that we could run two shifts a day, seven days a week, for up to six months and never build the same vehicle twice. Perhaps more intriguing is the intricate and intelligent process by which it all comes together: coordinated sequencing of parts and precise engineering that is so unique and so flexible it allows you to make changes to your automobile up until six days before it is built." |

I doubt they'd go for something like: "....so unique and so flexible it allows you to make changes to your automobile up until six days before it is built, and we'll even press the button on our patented build date generator free of charge leaving you banging your head against a wall as you try and work out why adding a luggage net adds a further 3 months to the already substantial wait. However, if you change to a colour combination that really doesn't work, or forget to order any seats, we'll build it the next day" Last edited by WatchThis!; 11-10-2014 at 01:41 AM.. |

Hmm. Don't think I'd be changing anything within a month of build date unless I was happy to accept delay. |

Wheelgate
Feeling pretty pi$$ed off with BMW at the moment. My dealer advised me to ring BMW customer line about the 607 debacle. Spoke to a young lad who could only apologise and nothing else. I was embarrassed for him. I told him by advertising the car with the 607 wheels and then not being able to supply them, they are mis-selling and falsly advertising the product. Just got fobbed off. So, I rang the dealers and spoke to the sales manager and explained my deep unstatisfaction of the lack of customer service and the fact that when I'm spending 50k on a car, I should get the wheels that is supposed to come with it and told him I am seriousley considering cancelling the order (which I am). Hopefully should get some feedback today....after all, they are plenty of other cars out there !

Misleading advertising, bait and switch, no communication, legal proceedings to follow..... Had a holding reply from them saying they are investigating the matter for me. Not holding my breath |

Well had an official response from BMW regarding the X-Line 607 wheels.
I am sorry to learn of your disappointment with regards to the alloy wheels fitted to your BMW X3 xDrive20d xLine. I can certainly understand the frustration this must have caused you, especially as you upgraded to xLine trim, for the alloy wheels fitted as standard with this option. I can confirm that, due to ongoing supply issues regarding the 18” Y-Spoke style alloy wheels (607), these have been restricted throughout 2014. I can advise, this option has since been removed from November 2014 and is no longer available for customers to order. The BMW UK Sales Office communicated to all BMW Approved Retailers the issues regarding this option, therefore, each Centre was required to amend the order should the 605 style have been requested. Two alternatives have been given to all Retailers which include the 18” Double-Spoke (605) which is free of charge, or 19” Y-Spoke (608) for an £800 upgrade. It was advised that all Retailers were to contact their customers regarding this option. So basically tough luck or go order an Audi ps. load of c*ck about November as the UK configurator still shows the 607 wheels as default. Obviously still happy to charge the full amount for the X-Line trim then. Last edited by gazzer666; 11-11-2014 at 09:34 AM.. |
