Hi All,

This is my first post on the X3 forums now that I have officially placed my order. My current car is a 2013 BMW Active Hybrid 3 and I've been eyeing the X3 m40i ever since it was released. I originally had ventilated seats in my order but thanks to these forums and the posted ordering/pricing guides, I found out that the ventilated seats removes the power adjustable side bolstering. I also read a lot about how people couldn't even feel any air come out of the seats... Deleting the seats allowed me to get the blue stitching and I spent the money saved on the seats towards the Adaptive M Suspension. With the current incentives ($2,500 finance and $1,500 loyalty) I was able to get this car at 87% MSRP (granted, this is the third BMW I've purchased from the same sales guy and he was willing to sell under invoice, so he says)

You're right, my mistake! I was heavily considering going with the 20s but after long consideration, I decided to keep the extra money in my pocket to put towards non RFT Michelins.

When I ordered it the supplying Dealer said they had a car with my exact spec coming over on the ship so hoping for an early to mid November delivery

[lightyeargua]

I have joined this forum for about 6 months and read tons of great comments and threads here and finally pulled the trigger for my first BMW recently:

- 2020 X3 M40i
- Sunstone Metallic
- Canberra Beige
- Matt Wood trim
- Driving Assistance Package
- 19" M wheel 698M (will replace both wheels and RFTs later on anyway)
- Parking Assistance Package
- Premium Package
- Acoustic glass
- Adaptive M Suspension
- Ambient Lighting
- Wireless Charging
- HK Sound System

I only see 1-2 people who ordered Sunstone Metallic in the older threads; wonder why no one likes this color and it seems black and blue colors dominate over all other colors... but I think it looks very cool... I originally looked for a Sunstone Metallic X5 but later found out that is too big for my garage so I ended up ordering an X3 m40i with this individual color...

Placed the order on 09/28 and it has already left the factory as of yesterday! Much faster than I expected...

[prolix21]

re-joining the BMW fold after a few years away

2020 X3 xDrive30i, dark olive metallic, mocha interior
exec, driving assist +, trailer hitch, ventilated seats, wireless charging

ordered 10/8, had an inquiry report back by 10/10 with status 112, not sure on our production week yet, but seems like it's moving quickly, will give it a few days and check in with our CA.

I'm working with a small dealer so I'm guessing their allocation sucks, but I still don't get why BMW would build two month's worth of inventory cars before ones that are already spoken for. Anyway, it's now set to be built first week of November, meaning I should get it end of Nov/start of Dec. Quite a wait but I'm not really in a rush and I guess that gives me my pick of Oct, Nov, or Dec incentives.

Here's the build:

- X3 M40i
- Pythonic Blue Metallic
- Cognac Vernasca Leather with contrast stitching
- Aluminum trim
- Driving Assistance Package
- Driving Assistance Plus Package
- Premium Package
- Adaptive M Suspension
- Wireless Charging and WiFi Hotspot
- Harman Kardon surround sound system

I don't think I've seen a Cognac/Aluminum interior even in pictures so slightly worried about that working well but I am definitely a fan of Cognac and of aluminum independently. Currently I have a Le Mans Blue over Saddle Brown E90 with wood trim and I love the color combo but would definitely go for a more sporty/less luxurious vibe than the wood, which is what I'm hoping for in the X3.

Where do people keep up with their build without going through your CA? Is there some login he's supposed to send me?

Nice build! The carbon fiber trim is also very nice for the sporty look. Hard to describe or appreciate with photos, but it has depth and looks very $$, and flows well with the black plastic trim in the car (such as by the shifter).

I think you'll really enjoy the new "adaptive" mode on the suspension that automagically adjusts the firmness of the suspension based on GPS data, and the auto steering is overall really good.

Definitely would suggest the acoustic glass option. It's only $150 and having done back to back test drives, very much worth it.

I posted my initial build at the end of Sept, but ended up making quite a few changes. More importantly, (for those waiting) I was marked for "Production begins" on 10/4. The status sat still for almost 2 weeks, but yesterday jumped ahead to "Assembly in progress" and today it's at "Awaiting carrier assignment." Being on the East Coast (US) I'm hoping for delivery next week. Don't want to count my chickens before they hatch, but that was quick!

Here's what's coming:
- X3 M40i
- Phytonic Blue Metallic
- 20" M Double-spoke bi-color wheels, style 699M with performance run-flat tires
- Oyester Vernasca Leather with contrast stitching
- Carbon Fiber trim
- Parking Assistance Package
- Premium Package
- Adaptive M Suspension
- Acoustic glass
- Ambient lighting
- Wireless Charging and WiFi Hotspot
- Harman Kardon surround sound system

Looks like everyone else went for the Driving Assistance Package, but I really don't want my car wrestling me for control of the steering wheel/brakes.

Here's a 2018 with the same color combo & wheels (my new wallpaper)

Mine went to 'waiting carrier assignment' earlier today as well. Pretty excited.

As far as worrying about driver assistant wrestling away 'control' of the car, that is driver assistant PLUS. Driver assistant is only passive stuff, FYI.

Nice job on adding adaptive.

[N800AN]

Fell in love after my first test drive yesterday, and put my order in. The experience so far has been far better than any other car buying experience I've ever had. Never considered BMW until recently, but they won me over in a hurry.

- X3 M40i
- Carbon Black Metallic
- 21" M wheel 718M w/perf rft
- Cognac Vernasca Leather with contrast stitching
- Fineline Cove Matte Wood Trim
- Executive Package
- Driver Assistance Plus
- Acoustic Glass
- Harmon Kardon Audio
- Wireless Charging / WiFi Hotspot

Pretty much just shy of fully loaded.

Have you considered the adaptive suspension? I can't recommend that enough.

Actually, the $500 DA pkg includes automatic braking in conjunction with city collision mitigation (meaning it works only at a relatively low speed).

But, you can turn the features off in the settings if you want to.

Here's the configurator description:

"Active Driving Assistant is comprised of active safety features such as: Lane Departure Warning, Pedestrian and Frontal Collision Warning with City Collision Mitigation. All provide varying degrees of automated braking assistance based on speed conditions. Important: This feature is not a substitute for the driver's own responsibility. Due to road, traffic and visibility conditions, the driver decides whether and how the system is used."

The difference between that and the $1700 DA+ pkg is the addition of adaptive cruise control.

I was wondering about the other poster's info on that. I had a 2020 330i loaner a while back and I felt the steering wheel vibrate as I crossed onto a yellow line around a curve, so I purposely went over it to experiment (safely--no opposing traffic) and the car did push me back into my lane, and did so much more sharply than I would've done on my own. I was going about 40-45mph. Long story short, I didn't like it & am glad I didn't get it on my M40i.

I was debating the DA+ pack, although rarely drive the sort of roads where the lane assist/steer options would be used.

My dealer told me of a test drive where he overtook a cyclist and didn't indicate in time as he didn't see the rider until the last minute. Car decided to pull him pack towards to cyclist which caused a "squeaky bum" moment for everyone.

As a cyclist, that story decided my spec and it does not include DA+, just the DA and Active Cruise/ASS options (which in the UK work out a couple of hundred pounds cheaper than the full DA+).

That is one of many scenarios in which these active "safety" systems make things more dangerous, not more safe. It is not possible to code these systems to understand that sometimes crossing center lines is proper and should not be interfered with. Keep your eyes on the road, both hands on the wheel, and your cell phone in your pocket where it belongs. Do that and you'll be far safer than any expensive and unnecessary technology can make you. When I buy or lease my X3, it will have NONE of this garbage.

Add the adaptive suspension. You buying from Sewell?

[IanForbet]

My first post here too. My wife and I ordered our new car last week (well, hers really as she drives and I just sit in the passenger seat drinking coffee!). Not had a BMW since we had an E30 1991 320i back in the day. Currently have a MB GLC which we have been very happy with but got seduced by the great deals on UK X3 PCP at the moment and ordered:

BMW X3 xDrive20d xLine
Sophisto Grey
Canberra Beige leather

Premium package, incl:
Panoramic sunroof
Electric front seats and drivers memory

Comfort package, incl:
Steering wheel heating
Comfort access

19” Non-RFT Y-spoke alloys

Sun protection glass

Apparently due here in week 52, so hopefully it will be a niceChristmas present for us!

Thanks!

I'm not really a fan of carbon fiber, I dunno why. I think I just don't like small patterns on hard surfaces like that (not a fan of the rhombicle either).

I hadn't originally specced the adaptive suspension because of the added replacement costs but then I figured I would definitely be getting my money's worth on Bay Area roads.

Unfortunately I can't say the same for the acoustic glass. I don't do very much high speed highway driving so I think regular will be just fine. For some reason I find having thicker glass kinda off-putting (I experienced many a bulletproof vehicle in my childhood and the windows barely rolled down in agony). My E90 is definitely on the loud side (run-flats wearing out?) and I'm fine with it even on long road trips.

In any case, it's too late, as my car is now "awaiting carrier assignment"!! So much for a first week of Nov build slot!

When should I be expecting the car to be at the dealer? I need to start prepping a sale for the E90!
