Yes, looks rubbish without

Tidier, no white lead flapping around and no danger of cutting it with armrest Frees up USB socket so you can charge your iPhone and use the USB for something else More secure, phone doesn't slide around Phone is hidden from thieves * Disadvantages Takes up way too much room If it does the boost the signal, it's negligible. I've never seen an improvement and BMW couldn't see any improvement on 2 different cars Can't use if you have a permanent case on your iphone Get an iPhone 5 and you'll be waiting a year for a new snap-in adaptor! iPhone gets HOT All weather mats are a must for me

Another advantage of the snap-in adapter is that you can watch video from your iphone.
Another disadvantage is that even without a case it can be difficult to get the iPhone to snap in. |

do believe dealer said mats were included.. not sure which ones.. am less fussed about it than anything else... tend to clean my car once every wk or 2 so it doesn't really get dirty that often on the inside...
sounds like the snap in adapter is not really worth it then... am sure my missus will find a better use of the space than the adapter.. like makeup kits!

Here's an irony ... as the arrival of my X3 finally approaches, I'm no longer in a rush for delivery. I'm currently in a 318d pool car whilst I wait for the X3 and I've grown quite attached to not paying anything for it (apart from a little bit of tax) and getting 56mpg on my weekly commute between Leeds and Slough.
The 3 series also lacks any form of phone prep so I get conscience free travelling not fielding work calls whilst I drive. I guess it's a win either way for me |

I can't honestly see the point in the snap in cradles.. with the iphone in my last car there was never an improved signal.. I used to get better signal taking it out, and with bluetooth music streaming the only reason I can think of having it would be for the signal, which ive never seen any difference with |

OK, update from the 1st man to own 2 F25's in the UK.
1st X3 sold and taken to the buying dealership. 2nd X3 delivered tomorrow. +Sports Steering wheel (yeehar!), Pro nav & 6NR. For those interested, in real terms it didn't cost me a bean owning the first one so my gamble appears to have paid off. Will post pics tomorrow as well as a thread about cleaning Oyster leather using the official leather care kit. It works brilliantly! |

Your lucky, two dealer collections of a new car in a short time!!! I (and others) will be interested in your 'cost free' 1st F25 - how did the figures come to a zero sum? What is 'real terms'? Is the new one a 3.0D?
Many congrats |

That's what I thought, thanks for the info. Can spend the saving on fuel.

Ive been watching the wrong ship. Got an email today telling me the car has arrived at Thorne. The dealer is waiting for the delivery to them. They have been told to expect delivery on the 26th. That's 6 days way, it's only Birmingham which is only 150 mile away. I've been told pick up 28/29th. Think I'd better take the tracking of the independence 2 now.

Barking up the wrong ship
Looks like a few of us have been barking up the wrong ship.
My X3 also is due at the Dealers on the 26th, collecting on the 28th. I have the chrome tail pipe and mudflaps on order. Since I left out the Xline package, I've ordered the sill protectors also. Here's looking forward to next week
