I'll be picking up X3MC this week in Donington grey and Adelaide grey/black. Opted in on everything but the M- drivers package. The dealer suggested adding M seatbelts which were a "dealer pocket" option at no cost which I did. Apparently not many people know of this.

None that I've seen at all the showrooms I've been to had it. Nor the ones I see in reviews. So "All"... meh.

Hmmm
So the official reply from the dealer on this is as follows.

"I have checked the spec of the car and this X3M was not built with one hence it not being in there.

However if it was me I would want one, so I will get one sent out to you."

@Scorchio How are you finding the ride in Aberdeen?

We've had several BMs including an X5 on 20" rims and all was fine. I've been looking at youtube vids and reading the reviews and they moan about how terrible the ride on X3MC is.

I've a deposit down on one as had to replace the current lease car and the deals were too good to pass, but yet to get into one to test drive.

I was seriously looking at a M2 Comp as I wanted the performance, but having gotten rid of the wife's X3, we needed a family bus that could take the dog too. These X3MCs cover all my bases!

Looking good, I gave up the gym membership a couple of years ago when I started my home gym. Love everything about it apart from the cold in the winter months!

Mine too, I've not seen one without them.

Can't work out if I like them or not.

That looks like older hoist stuff maybe? (half cage / smith & hip sled?)

I used to have basically the same setup, but then I moved to an apartment so had to shrink down to 1/2 bedroom. I replaced it all with a Hoist v6 functional trainer and the full ironmaster bench setup, however over the last few years as I've gotten into more travel I've pretty much switched to body weight exercise and hiking. Kinda funny how things evolve!

anyway, nice setup!

I found the ride was fine on my test drive and not all the reviews in fact most of the ones I've read/watched don't complain just Top Gear who hate the car full stop and of course Joe with his rather odd review.
