From this read i gather with the M-Sport
i) DDC/VDC is included but not mentioned(would be a major BMW goof!) ii) DDC/VDC not included but dummy Sport+ buttons (Unlikely) Personally I don't really see the value of the extra cost of DDC/VDC if free with M-sport yippee or this could just be a US peculiarity since we have none who has delivery of an M-Sport to date on this forum |

- Does it have the ///M door sill plates? - Good photos of the wheels (close and distant would be great) - What size are the tires? What brand? - Can you verify heated steering wheel? (not previously available with M wheel, been wondering if they'll really inlclude it with ZCW) There is a thread ready for lots of M Sport photos: http://x3.xbimmers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=522823 You can post them there if you like, and we'll all add to it as ours arrive. -------------------------------------------------- The other thing, continuing the confusion I'm afraid, is that if you look at the photo of the interior (steering wheel / center console) you can plainly see that he has the DDC buttons. My VIR build sheet looks like his sticker does, it shows "sports suspension delete" but not "dynamic damper control". Perhaps they are synonomous when it comes to the 35i M Sport.... who knows.

///M is there on door sill plates (see pic). -Tyres on the vehicle are GoodYear 19's. I was told they are run-flats. -Yes, it is a heated steering wheel. The vehicle has a cold-weather package. - Lastly, according to the manual, Dynamic Driving Control and Dynamic Damping Control appear to be part of Dynamic Stability Control system (see the pics of manual pages). |

Beautiful! I think you just made a whole lot of people on this forum happy that had M-sport questions!

Boy_With_Joy: Can you confirm that you did not order the Sport Activity Pkg or the DDC Pkg? It appears that you have the buttons, but can you also confirm that your shocks actually change stiffness when you go from Normal to Sport? |

The tires are all of the same size. GoodYear 245/45 R19 (Made in Germany). I think the staggered tires come only with Sport Activity Package.

Thanks for the update...that's unfortunate. Perhaps they will fix that for next year's options. Thanks again.

Really nice car BTW. That is a great colour combo. The wife doesn't want white otherwise my order would look just like this. The X3 is for her, so I get what she wants. |

It appears the road has to be pretty uneven to actually feel those effects. |

Right, and since I have ordered both ZNZ and ZNR (Canada), I will have all the possible settings available for this car at this time. Should be here in about 8 or 10 days.
