Carr FINALLY here

wiendriver18 · 07-02-2020, 01:43 PM

My car is finally here! I picked it up Thursday and just wow, what a beauty. The color, the interior, just everything. Already did 800km on it

Here are my specs:
X3 xDrive 20i
M Sport
Phytonic blue
Vernasca Cognac Leather
Panorama roof
Steering wheel heater

Added these packages:
Business Plus ZGA
Innovations ZGI
Comfort ZGL
Austria Z70

The parking assist works really really well. I've had success with tight parallel parking in these European streets.

Initially, I was hesitant about the Driving Assistance and all these safety features added, but I've used them a lot. The only thing I have to fiddle with is the sensitivity. Hate the feeling when it preloads brakes cause it's not smooth when I'm driving.

There are definitely a lot of settings that am sure I haven't come across. But so happy

Still debating, ceramic coating though.

Congrats. Beautiful car. Nothing like the first day's drive through a beautiful country like Austria.

Looks great!

MADBMWX5MC · 07-02-2020, 04:53 PM

Great, Congrats!

BMWZ4 · 07-02-2020, 06:18 PM

Congrats! Definitely do the Ceramic and consider PPF as well.

So pretty. Congrats!

Congrats!! I conquer for PPF (to avoid any stone chips, which will always occur no matter how clean the roads are, and also depends how long you will be keeping your car and/or rather how long you want to keep the car looking new) + ceramic (if not want to spend a fortune, consider DIY like cquarts Skin product on top of PFF and regular ceramic cquart uk product on corrected paint). Cheers and Enjoy!

It really is! I had truly missed the freedom of the road.

Okay, I'll start looking into this. I had asked my BMW dealership and he had asked around and discouraged me from it. He said the costs didn't match the benefit. I'll get a quote here. How much does it cost where you guys are?

wiendriver18 · 07-03-2020, 03:07 PM

PPF does not seem to be a thing here :/ Asked two places and they don't offer it; only ceramic. Still waiting to hear back from others. may have to settle for ceramic only.
