Steering all good so far but it's early days. I may not be the best person to comment on this as I think I have different expectations because of how different the X3 is to my old car. Size of boot is a big plus for me. Might get some shopping bag hooks. Also, some people have commented on how heavy the boot door is to close but I don't find it a problem and my wife has used it and didn't either.

I have a slight logistical problem with the pictures. I get the train to work and it's dark when I leave and dark when I get home at the moment. I didn't get to drive it home until it got dark yesterday. You may have to wait until Sat......

The amusing thing is, I do feel a sense of duty and consequently a sense of guilt that I have failed to deliver on the pictures . I will make sure they're quite good but they'll be no match for AlpineWeiss and juddholland!
Perhaps julesjen can help out and post some pics to ease the pressure?! Have you picked up jj? Is all OK?

All is well that ends well but the process is never as enjoyable as it should be

I have a long tense wait now. I ordered the 3 litre diesel version back on 30/01/2011, but was put in factory queue status (code 077).
Not that long after (11/02/2011), it moved into the production queue (status code 1100) - production week 17, which equals w.c. 25th April 2011. The ETD is week 23 (w.c. 6th June 2011). A couple days ago, I decided to change the order to M Sport and a couple of other specs. - luckily that didn't change the etd. (specs. in signature) I can't wait!!

I think it is, they (the dealer) weren't sure, but they thought the 3.0l which have always been slated to start production in April, would get slots.

so it looks like the silver bits are shinier/nicer looking on the Pro versus a duller/thicker bit on the non-pro versions? hmm... i must say it looks great but not sure i can justify the extra outlay for sav when a Tom Tom can do just as well...

Do not get it purely for looks! It's good but it's not worth £2,500 on its own! I think it's worth considering if you are already planning to get business nav

I haven't seen the paddle on a configurator for the 20d. You can switch to semi automatic but you have to flick the gear level forward and back to change up and down (selected gear appears in the dash)
