Went to the garage today and test drove the x3 , it was so nice not to keen on the stop/start but the guy said you can turn that off so it doesent happen if i wanted to.
So close to ordering just waiting to see what they offer for my car as what he said was well lower then what its worth! so he going to make a "call" on monday and let me know and if not ill try a different garage. Hopefully order it by next weekend |

They should offer the lower of their two guide book prices, with 0 for extras, as the second hand uk market is reportedly grim - dealers can't move them on. Sad fact is people are paying overprice to cut X3 queues so they dont need your business, unless they make a tidy margin. Sorry for the bad news, but better you know. Just one opinion of course but fresh experience. Sell privately might be worth considering if you can take the hassle.

yeah.. i didn't get the best price for the 5 series trade in... but then again.. given the delays i've had, it's prob not the worst result...
i just hope that the x3 lives up to how it felt when i first test drove it in Jan...

Looks like it might be the better thing to do as BMW say that they have to stick to there price lists from " CAP " even though its £2000 less then the other price books |

I tried webuyanycar.com and they were £500 lower than BMW and that was with me not even declaring some of the scratches and minor damage. Parkers was £9000 book for excellent condition but it was average really so quite happy with the £7500 BMW gave me. They also held that price for 2 months because of the delivery delay. The air con had gone too and I knew it was £500+ to fix

Hi
I'm new but I thought I would add my story so far... I ordered my X3 back at the end of Feb; I was originally told that the car would arrive in September. I phone the dealer 3 weeks ago, only for them to tell me it would now be mid to late October. I was disappointed that it took me to call them rather than them contacting me with the news. The Sales Manager then said he would call me back in a week (I’m still waiting). |

It was Sytner Sunningdale, staff a friendly and polite but it seems that once they have your money all communication stops. We had good service from them when we bought the Mini.

Options Restriction in place Aug-Sept on the auto transmission
Not sure if this has been posted elsewhere - there is/has been a factory Options Restriction in place for Aug-Sept builds on the auto transmission (part code 205) due to demand (F25 and other models). As a result some F25 orders with auto will be shifted back upto 5 weeks and some maunual transmissions may be brought forward. (I'm auto and may have slipped slightly - but still Sept).

Other things to be sure you don't "need" are Servotronic steering and sports seats. If you're happy without both then that's all good but I would recommend both. All just my opinion - it's your opinion and your money that counts! That's more than 2 points, I know...
