Let the angels sing... Horsey's car has arrived.
Based on your earlier post I don't know who will be happier, you or your dealership.

Car is apparently on its way to the dealer ... I have a tent and am camping outside the dealership waiting for the transporter to arrive.

... standing in the rain with a tent outside the local stealer would attract unwanted reporters assuming you had a complaint - rather than an impatient owner in-waiting. Did you print a check list for all those options? You will need a day parked on your drive to familiarize and test all those buttons. Don't forget to look out the window when moving forward, all that tech wont stop you crashing. |

I still don't know when the X3 decides when to charge the battery and when it thinks it should wait because it wants to save fuel. I would have assumed that when the battery was low it would charge no matter what, but I get the feeling that this is not the case? Quote:

This thread has been completely hijacked.

I don’t disagree that a dedicated thread might have been more considerate in some contexts after the event - who knew there would be so much chit chat, but nonetheless I still think most of it is on topic and relevant.

It’s funny how the little things can bring a smile to your face and help pass the time. You may well be right there ... I like to think I have some good qualities as well. I am sorry you have not enjoyed my contribution, if it’s any consolation the waiting will hopefully soon be over and instead I suspect you can look forward to numerous insistent posts relating less to the waiting for my car and more to do with its actual presence.

It seems that X3driverUK is lucky enough to already have his/her X3 whilst others, including myself, are still having to wait. This forum is about all things X3 and I think we are lucky to have someone who contributes so much to it . Looking at X3driverUK's posts on here, this is an accusation that most certainly cannot be levied at him/her. Now, back to the thread - any sign of that car transporter yet?!

Good luck Horsey.... if you love it half as much as we do then you will be well pleased.
x3driverUK seems to have only post 3 times and all moaning ones... shame we cant get some useful feedback or input from him! Im just off to the South of France for my hols and very much looking froward to enjoying my X3 on a long road trip.

Do you think they are trying to avoid me ... I wonder if it has anything to do with the effortless light touch I have applied to this engagement ... Anyway, car is confirmed at the dealer ... but they have asked for me to delay collection till 5pm as they have a lot of prep work to do ... ... either that or they are trying to limit the time I can spend with them as they close at 6pm! Looks like 76C++ gets theirs first ... and a 35D M-Sport to boot ... not sure what colour though ... I will gnaw my hand off if its white!

Even they've got to brush up on some of the options you ticked
