Here is mine...picked up two weeks ago and am loving it. Forgot to put a pic up in this group.

TheMooseMan · 02-14-2019, 10:33 PM

topgear67 anxiety sucks, right? haha

nick1212 The best choice: pythonic blue!

Did you buy winter tires?

I will take the chance and also ask: did your car come with an emergency triangle and first aid kit?? I looked on the hidden panels on the trunk but didn't find them.

We've been having quite the snow fall here in Vancouver the past week. What amazes me is how many X3's I've seen rolling around in the 21" and 20" summer tires. Makes me wonder if the drivers even realize they are summers or whether they just don't care

I would last another option: or if they're just irresponsible drivers.

That looks amazing! Congrats bud. Thanks for posting a picture! So how's the drive?

On a side note I tried imputing my VIN on the link you provided earlier. It worked this time. Funny thing although my dealer sent me a screen shot showing my car being produced Feb 20 the site says Jan 29! Find that strange.

At last

Enjoy your new car TheMooseMan. Looks absolutely stunning. My favourite wheels too.

Thanks! I have the same opinion about the wheels, and there's one thing about them that's quite interesting: on photos they don't look so big, but when you see it in person... yes, they are.

Phytonic Blue, premium essential and M sport package, super nice.

Let us know about the winter tires, mine should come in next week and will need a winter kit too.

I'm thinking of a set of 19'' Hakka 9 studded or Blizzak EM V2 with RTX Envy gunmetal.

It has the ultimate package with M Sport Line.

About the winter tires, I shall buy Michelin Pilot Alpin PA5 with RTX Glaz wheels. I still need to make a decision but I'm leaning towards this option.

Congrats...I love the color

Thanks nick! It's really beautiful and I really like how the paint varies on different light conditions.

Ultimate package...wow, now you are talking, was too expensive for me.

Had that in my 435i M Performance but will be only the Essential one in my new X3...

Phytonic Blue, Cognac, Essential, 20'' 695, 360 camera, town hitch...and it should come in on Monday!

When I first checked the price I was a skeptical (it's expensive) but decided to take it as it's a dream car for me - originally I was considering the regular x-line with premium package enhanced, btw.
No matter you get the premium package or the ultimate, this car is awesome!

I really hope you enjoy yours too. Did you buy from BMW Toronto?

No, I'm from Montreal, and I'm always dealing with BMW Laval, it's my 5th BMW.
Here is my 435i M Performance, Dinan stage 2, manual gear box and ultimate package...the son will be getting it, lucky him.

Montreal here also and yup BMW Laval also. I also got the premium enhanced, 695 wheels, HK system and wireless charging. Would of like liked the premium enhanced package and the M sport but it was ma expensive add ons for me.

Yea I got 18s R198 Replika with 225/60R18s for around 1900 all in

Apparently my X3 is in transport. Dealer says they get it this week or next. 😍

Thanks, buddy! I haven't driven too much as I take public transit for work, but can say I'm in love with this car. It drives SO smooth but, when you want/need it can also go FAST (specially for an SUV)! It's not the M40i, but for me, my needs and my budget it has plenty of power!

I will take the chance and share another photo of my new baby

Beauty! I got the graphite x30i also. Can't wait

TheMooseMan · 02-18-2019, 09:01 PM

Ha! Mine is a Pythonic Blue!

I love how the paint reacts on different light conditions! That photo I took during sunset, so the car looked way darker than usual.

Dam. That one filled me. Very true I recall you saying you got that color

Diaolos · 02-18-2019, 10:46 PM

Just found out if you want to track your car in shipping use this website and enter your VIN

https://www.lhf.com/en/tracking

I used it and it works. My car made it to the dealer today at 18:15. So my car is sitting at the dealer as we speak. Feel like driving down there just to look at it lol 🥰

bmw335d · 02-19-2019, 08:16 AM

Has anyone done PPF or ceramic coating, any good place in GTA to get it? I should be getting m40i next month.

I'm considering ceramic coating but not decided yet because of the price (PPF is even more expensive). Some options I found: Ceramic Pro Toronto (it's in Etobicoke) and VIP Car Protection at the Toronto Port Lands - all reviews on Google Maps are really good.

A google search. Since my dealer said it was in transport. I googled something like how to track your new car in transport. Ironically a thread from this site piped and some posted the link. I tried it and it work.

The winter kit in on, 18'' Nokian Hakkapelitta 9 studded.

Was paying that for a 2011 Dodge Journey before it was scrapped.

This saddens me! $2434/year or $202/mo with Intact in Edmonton. $2M liability, $500 deductibles, glass coverage, max driver discounts, replacement costs, some multi item insurance discounts
