Well I picked it up Saturday and loving it so far. Will post pics when it stops raining, in the meantime a few 48hour/500 miles impressions:
Positives -30d engine is sweet. I could never go back to a 4 pot (diesel) now. -Carbon Black/Oyster/Fineline Wave combo is stunning, everyone has commented as such -Very happy with the ride (Sport Suspension Deleted) -No rattles at all on any surfaces [major touching of wood...] -Voice entry of full nav addresses and control of music is fantastic Negatives -Wind noise. I hear it a little up to motorway speeds, but not enough to worry about, however anything over that and it becomes seriously unbearable -Voice control for dialling numbers is way too long winded. I have programmed the function buttons as speed dials instead. -They really could have picked a better voice for the car. She sounds bored as hell. -I have the 'Rear view camera malfunction' message every time I activate it, even though it works perfectly. Connection needs reseating. I will post a more thorough review after a couple of months and a comparison to the Q5. Of the negatives posted above, the only real disappointment is the terrible wind noise at high speed- although I'd rather have this than rattles...

X3's F25's are like rocking horse s*** here in the south west of UK.
The dealer for Devon & Cornwall only has one, the main dealer in Southampton only has one. The main dealer in Bristol is waiting for one. I have only see one on the M5 (sorry to the driver I think he thought I was stalking him) driving all weekend. Mine arrives next month but I wish I knew where the rest are! |

Humbug, still 1200 ... guess that means tail end of week 16 build.
Happen to know that some other week 16s are at 5055 at the same dealer. Wonder how it's all going to dovetail for shipping ... *bites nails*

Just had a chat with the dealer and it seems my car should go into build anytime now.
I was quoted a Week 16 build so unfortunately dont think any UK cars are being pushed forward in terms of build dates. The order status still shows up as 1200 though. |

I am still 1200 as of today ...
Normally a car goes 5055 a week before build ... ... that would make us bottom of the week 16 barrel. I happen to know at my dealership there are two X3s which went 5055 on Tuesday. I hope we don't miss the week 16 build transport to the UK ... ... I wonder how many build days per ship there are? I am guessing that the RHD builds were batched to week 16 on ... |

yea seems to be one of the last cars in Week 16 Horsey.
Was also told that some of the cars which are already built now have been held up due to some custom issues but they expect that to be sorted by the time our cars are built and ready to be shipped. fingers crossed |

2.0d M Sport Auto Ordered - Possible July Delivery
Hi All,
I have recently placed an order for a X3 2.0d M Sport Auto and I have been given an initial date of mid to late July for delivery. Car was ordered last week of March. Hopefully the initial date will prove accurate but going from this forum may be optimistic. i haven't managed to get onto the 2013MY configurator as has been mentioned that it is now available on the BMW website. I really want the adaptive cruise, anyone know if this is now an option? Spec currently gone for is as follows: Titanium Silver, Prof Media Pk, Prof Speakers, Visibility Pack, Elecetric Seat Pk, Extended Storage, VDC, Variable Sports Steering, DAB, Sun Prot Glass, Rear camera with Top view. Had considered a 35d M Sport but didn't have all the options I wanted on it. |

Adaptive cruise control is not an option, only cruise control with brake function. You can get speed limit info and lane departure warning though ..

Anyone with a week 16 build gone 5055 yet?
Mine was scheduled for a week 16 build which I assume is next week, but I am still stuck at 1200 ... I thought they were supposed to to 5055 a week before build started? I don't know what it means, but I don't think its good ...

Horsey, I am told my build date is still somewhere in Week 16 but the order status is still 1200.
The dealer said it might go to 5055 next week and will let me know |

Right now I would settle for “as scheduled”! Got nothing useful back from my dealer by way of explanation, other than “it’s next on the list” … but that’s twoddle. I am a bit disappointed, but the lack of an explanation is more irksome. |

I am pretty sure I have less ...
I thought I had done really well to get to last week … desperately waiting for 5055 milestone to happen like an expectant child at Christmas. A week on, I feel like lost foal, abandoned on the moors … Anyway, cheer up, it could be worse … it’s not like we have to keep reading about all the happy guys and gals in the US who ordered their X3 last week and are getting delivery next week. I was wondering if making my sales manager’s life as miserable as mine while I wait would help, but it’s doesn’t seem to be. Who said that “Waiting was half the fun”? Really? On a brighter note … a friend recently took delivery of a white Evoque and I saw it at the weekend … looks cool, but once I sat in it again, I was really happy I didn’t go for one. When, eventually, I get my X3 I am looking forward to doing an in-depth side by side comparison … sadly I think there are at a disadvantage, they didn’t get the Lux pack and that makes the car a bit dull on the toys side … although they do have the Dynamic with MagneRide. |

I dread to think what I'll be like the night before getting it. Last time I had a new car (Mini Cooper) I don't think I slept a wink. Maybe a watch of the Nat Geo Megafactories will calm me down a bit

... reminds me of when we collected my wife's 135i ... due to some administrative oversight by the dealer, the vehicle was only "legal" on a Sunday ... despite being ready to collect the day before on Saturday ... Of course, the dealership was closed on Sunday ... what would you have done? We discussed many options including the dealer dropping round our house, but the problem was it would not have been insured left on the street ... ... luckily the place my wifes worked at the time had a private underground car park just opposite the dealership ... so we arranged for it to be left there ... Come one minute past midnight we drove it out the car park and home. ... sad really! |

How much diesel should I be expecting to be in the tank when I pick her up and what gifts/pressies has anyone received from a UK dealer when picking up their F25?
