(UK) X3M Competition Inbound! (Pics added)
Made a deal to trade in my M140i this week for an X3M Competition in Donington Grey (quick thinking on the username). This will be my first M car and first SUV. The M140i has been great and I will miss it dearly however with my other half having a big family I now often have to make space for passengers (something the 3dr M140i struggled with).
I am disappointed in the knowledge that the OPF will detract from the S58 soundtrack. My brother also owns an M140i and he has the OPF, there is a significant difference between his car and my pre-OPF car. Hoping there will be a "warranty friendly" option available soon. What do the UK owners here think of the noise? I will be posting pictures when I collect the car on Friday! Last edited by x3mcomp; 11-08-2019 at 04:18 PM.. |

Yes, sadly I don't have the M6 anymore but was over 2 years of pleasure driving that! Kids come along so had to go. Went back to Audi hence the S5 SB then decided I needed another M car so back on this forum |

Congratulations on your X3M!
I’ve come form M140i pre OPF, then M4 pre OPF and looking to order an X3M over the next week as I now have a small person in the family to think of. Like you I will miss the pops and gurgles. The M4 is a great car, I don’t have to sell, but I feel that the practicality and the power of the X3M is a nice downgrade/upgrade, however you think of it. At the moment I’m looking at either black/black or donington/black or grey with extras to around £81k. There are some fantastic offer, the best I’ve had back so far from my preferred dealer is over 17% discount + the FS, bring it to around £23k discount from list @ 2.9%. Look forward to seeing some pictures of yours. MJD |

I was toying with the idea of a 2015+ M6 but couldn't bring myself to it. Quote:
Sounds like you've been offered a good discount. I had some negative equity to clear on my M140i which ate into my deposit unfortunately. |

On the exhaust note...
I'm still pre 1200 mile service, so haven't revved it hard, from what I've heard it sounds pretty tame...however my wife thinks it sounds ridiculous compared to my S4... I had acoustic glass on the S4, but the X3 seems to have better insulation and maybe glass. So, I hear nothing most the time, but outside I believe it's making quite a bit of noise. |

Nearly a done deal for me now managed a little more discount. Didn't have an existing car to trade in or clear neg equity so should be straight forward......thing is I won't be back in the country until mid December so will have to be a nice Xmas present for me once ceramic coated

I wanted the Pano roof, so that restricted me to a near fully loaded Donington Grey (which was my preferred colour) with Adelaide Grey interior (which I am OK with, but would have preferred Orange or Tartufo). Super excited as I was supposed to be collecting a 30D next week until the crazy deals appeared.
