I ordered on 7/22. Car went 150 on 8/3. There was no progress indicated on the web site and completion was to have been 8/13. That skipped to 8/16 at which point the VIN was decode-able online. Today, suddenly, the car was released to carrier and the dealer says its due here on Boston on 8/20. Fast, but inconsistent. My wife's 2018 30i had a smoother gestation. I ordered it on 2/27 and it arrived on 3/29. The old website tracked its progress much more accurately than my M40i.

I finally got access to the owner's manual. Luckily it is possible to secure the cover, though the method is not as nice as the strut. The cover is now attached using the multi-function hook.

I remember the first time I saw a G01 in a dealership. When I saw the shock-stayed cover I thought, "Whoa! That's nice BMW really pays attention to the details and delivers premium features for the price". I kid you not; this was part of my decision to buy an MY18 30i. Disappointed.

Information/opinions needed.
There are two X3's I have been looking at.
Option 1: https://www.bmwsouthpoint.com/new/BM...69b08adc4a.htm Option Two: https://www.bmwsouthpoint.com/new/BM...3e67771d43.htm Option 1 is definitely better equipped sans only hifi stereo vs H/K in option 2. Both are similarly priced and I am getting about $6k in incentives. Help me decide.

So the sDrive models went into production early in the spring for their 2019 model run and have almost been treated like a separate model in terms of 18/19 transition. If you look at the build date on the door jamb sticker, it will probably be prior to the actual MY2019 switchover that happened at the end of July. I would bet the new sDrive models probably dropped that strut too.

Raw selvedge jeans will almost certainly put blue markings on oyster and canberra beige. Selvedge is a more durable (and currently very popular) form of denim, but one issue that the raw/unwashed form often stains (just do a google search for "selvedge jean staining"). (For some reason, raw/unwashed jeans are very popular with the hardcore demin heads, who'll often refuse to wash them, so as to preserve the look) So, if you carry younger people with selvedge jeans, you might get stains. |

Yes, BMW should not have removed the gas strut, but it looks like it's prepped for an aftermarket mod. Remove the felt patch from the cover, cut a bit of felt off the floor, glue in the aftermarket brackets, and attach the aftermarket gas strut. Should be pretty simple. |

That stuff bleeds on all leather colors, I even saw it when I had a coral red interior. Lexol wipes should take care of most stuff like that. I had a sweatshirt that used to leave blue stains on my armrest when I had Z4 with ivory interior, and would hit the armrest with a lexol wipe once a month or so. |

I attached a few photos of the mounting plate and where the body mounted strut pin is located. |
