just looking at the configurator for the UK and it now says the X3 comes with i drive 7 or BMW os 7, also it comes with 50gb storage for audio files has this always been the case?

Personal user account enables unique identification and authentication of vehicle user with their stored profiles (via key and PIN) where all settings related to the respective person (seat, air conditioning, entertainment, etc.) are adopted together with the profile.

My guess is that this is still a work in process. I think it's 32GB of storage. Also, the Control Display is 10.25" (often rounded up to 10.3"), not 12.3".

Confirmed today that it is 32Gb drive and the screen (like the new 7 series LCI) will be 12.3" Instrument panel, and 10.25" Control display, but resolution has increased for ID7 to 1920x720 up from 1440x540. |

I will list a few things, as I dont know what is standard around the world and what we have standard here. In two of these photos I put in the ID7/Steering Wheel to see what it would look like from the X5. X3 M40i Standard for us you can see in the spec guide I posted, but we get 21" wheels, Adaptive LED Head and Fog Lights, Cerium Grey accents everywhere, Ambient light, Comfort Access, Parking Assist, Full assist package, Driving Assist Plus and HUD etc, M Sports Steering wheel, Seat heating for front, Harmon/Kardon Sound. I then choose Sophisto Grey Brilliant Effect paint, and the extended Merino Tartufo leather interior with Aluminum Fine Cutting trim. I added Roller sunblind in rear, seat backrest adjustment for rear seats and seat heating in the back as well. I added Sunroof, Model deletion and acoustic glazing as well along with 5 years free servicing package. (Only $400 till June 30, well worth it!) Last edited by thehaloboy; 06-28-2019 at 05:56 AM.. |

I've been waffling between Tartufo and Fiona Red. I've wanted Tartufo for a very long time, but for some reason, I'm feeling Fiona Red for the X model and I can't explain why. It'd go great with your exterior color btw. One of the reasons that I'm watching this thread so intently is that the Individual merino leathers have not been offered in NA on the 3 or X3 models. BMWNA has been reserving them for the 4/X4. If it stays that way for our MY20s, it'll force me to the X4 rather than my preferred X3.

I just cannot work out why they have such different specs around the world. Our X3 is made in the USA, so they have the material |

To be fair, not much sympathy, as you can get the X3M with that leather, and every option for less in AUD $ than I paid for my M40i. $80k USD will get you a fully optioned X3M. Ours is over $120 USD. 50% more! *grin* |

I promise, I'm not looking for sympathy. I'm well aware of how much we pay for cars compared to the rest of the world. There's a lot of reasons to envy the Aussies. Car prices are not one of them.

It's been confirmed for Australia and I think that's a very strong sign that we'll get it in North America as well. BMW does some odd things, but I don't think they'd fit a slightly different engine in North American M40's compared to the rest of the world. Of course, we can't be certain of anything until BMWNA tells us officially.

I stream everything these days so the storage is meaningless for me. However I wanted to use it on my 3 but the car re-compressed everything to 128kps during transfer. Is that still the case? On the 3 a USB hdd was the better option. Just curious, I'll be using Apple Music and carplay.

we don't get those in the US nor do we get Merino leather for X3.
