I was never able to track mine, however looking at the sailing times and with the pick up date I'd been given it could have only been one ship. I was still trying the track it when I had a call from my dealer saying it had arrived. My car went into production on the 20th of may and was at the dealers on the 10th of June.

The exhaust trim is well worth the money and looks great (or your money back) mudflaps look good and do help with keeping car clean (Im getting fronts fitted when i get round to it to add to the rears i already fitted)

Congratulations. Looks great. Nice interior. Your pics a good illustration of the difference the light makes on the leather colour in photos

Yep, the red brown is very deceptive with pics/ configurator. Its's actually more of brick red than brown with a darker tone. |

Betie, car looks fantastic, love the colour of the leather. Did you get 4 of the silver trimmed cups as I did? I assumed they were for the cup holders in the rear arm rest, but they didn't fit.

Also in the rear compartment where the emergency triangle is, I came across what looks like a tool bag/wallet but it only has one reversible screw driver....didn't see the point of having a wallet just for the sake of one small tool. Has anyone come across this or am I missing some other parts? |

I think your only suspose to get 2, somehow I ended up with 4. I haven't really checked out the stuff in the rear. I know I have a fold up box, netting, etc. I also had another problem with the car. The front passenger window button came away from the arm. Luckily it just required a quick push back in where it clicked ino place. God knows how it came free.

Tracking
Similarly I've been unable to track my vehicle using the dealer supplied VIN on the WW website, although I wouldn't be surprised if the dealer has given me an incorrect VIN !
Basically was (after some duplicity from the original salesman) told by the Sales Manager that my X3 would be available first week in July after ordering on 24.12.10. Here's a brief list of progress : 8.06 - Dealer said status was 5055 (see previous threads for explanation) 9.06 - Dealer said built and entered paint shop (!) 15.06 - Said departed plant 11.06 27.06 - EDD (Estimated delivery to Dealer) 22.07 I then checked the WW schedules and assumed (and yes I forget what "ass u me" means !) that either FIDELIO arriving Southampton 9.07 or FALSTAFF arriving 18.07 would be transporting my X3. 30.06 - Dealer agreed that date of "first week in July" for delivery to me would not be met and agreed to chase shipment to find which vessel it would be on. 5.07 - Dealer emailed to say that my vehicle was at the vehicle distribution centre in Thorne, Doncaster and he would be arranging for it to be transported to them today Looking again at the WW schedules it would seem to me that in fact it was shipped on the vessel INTEGRITY which left Charleston on 14.06 and arrived in Southampton on 1.07. Great news apart from the fact that yesterday morning before hearing from the dealer I extended my car hire for 3 weeks and will now have to cancel and take the hit. Still there's hope yet guys, maybe some of your cars were also on INTEGRITY Oh by the way I found this website great for tracking vessels if you can find out what ship your motor is on http://www.digital-seas.com/ |

DAB is worth it if you like stations you can only get on medium wave, internet or stations that you can't pick up on FM because of regional differences. I got it mostly for 5Live, 5LiveExtra and TalkSport. It's usually pretty reliable and I hardly ever use normal FM/MW now but if the signal is poor it will obviously drop out and you may need to switch temporarily. iDrive functionality is the same as for normal radio really
Getting DAB is also future proofing as analogue will ultimately be switched off
