Does anyone know if the 2020 X3 M40i was available with the upgraded Merino leather for the US? I know for 2021 it is not an option but wondered if it was for 2020. What merino ever an option?

Merino was never available on the X3 in the US, only on the X4 and I believe even that has since been stopped.

First time posting on X3 forum -

I am looking for a x30i for my wife. Plan to finance the car.
The musthave's for me are sunroof, heated seat/steering wheel, and driver assistant pro.

Does anyone know how much discount should I be aiming for? Does region matter or price is similar across the country?

Much appreciated.

Discounts I have seen range from 5%-14% ish. This does not include the incentives for financing. The dealers in Maryland seem to be a lot more aggressive on discounts. I personally did not go with a Maryland dealer since I built one. Also, Maryland charges a $500 dealer processing fee.

First-time builder here, and this is our second BMW.

I submitted a build for a 2021 XDrive30e this Tuesday, and since it was an available production slot, I was told there was a chance that the build week originally scheduled for 2 weeks from now, could be moved up due to the vehicle being sold.

Well, it was Scheduled for Production on Wednesday, and I just checked and it is now in Production Begins and I was assigned a VIN. Seems very fast to me.

The question, how long should it take from now until the vehicle is complete? I was originally planning for 4-6 weeks from placing the order, but I may need to adjust that if it is going to be much less than that.

I was still debating whether to take delivery at the dealer or PCD, but I think that is out of the question since production has already begun.

thanks!

Production Begins means they are gathering the parts/options for your build but the actual build could be 10-14 days from now. Once they actually start the process it goes very quick, 24 hours to Awaiting Carrier Assignment. To Miami could be less than a week after production is finished but trucking timing/availability is a variable.

Hi everyone. Noob here from the UK.

I’m here because I’ve just ordered a MY21 X3 M40d mild hybrid. It’s my first BMW, if you don’t count the MY2018 Mini Cooper S that as a family we currently have. Previous SUV was a VW Tiguan SE that got written off in Feb of this year due to a collision.

Been told by the dealer the car should arrive at the end of August possibly September.

I had ordered an X3 20d with Driving Assistant Plus but when the dealer placed the order, due to the worldwide chip shortage at the moment, it wasn’t an available option for the 20d along with the passenger seat lumber support and was only available on the M40d and this was an option I really wanted. So a few emails back and forth and I got a good deal on the 40d and went ahead with the order. Which is as follows:

BMW X3 M40d
Phytonic Blue
Black with Blue Stitching Vernasca Leather
Run-flat Tyres
Aluminium fine cutting interior trim
M Sport Brakes with Red Calipers
Driving Assistant Plus
Panoramic Glass Sunroof
Front/rear heated seats
Galvanic Controls
Comfort Pack
Comfort Access
Heated Steering Wheel
M Sport Pro Pack
21" 718 M Double-spoke Cerium Grey Matt
Active Protection
M Adaptive Suspension
Front Lumbar Support
Sensatec dashboard

I’ve never driven an M40d but I’m guessing it’s a faster version of a 20d which I have driven��

Looking forward to getting the car and being a member of the forum.

Shaun.

My 2021 x3m40i build was submitted on 4/26. As of today, 5/17, it arrived at the dealership this morning.

Its Carbon Black, Cognac Vernasca, Executive Package, Adaptive M Suspension, HK Sound and wireless charging. Standard 19" wheels.

They initially estimated 4-6 weeks for delivery. I'll likely have it by Friday, 5/21. So 3.5 weeks was pretty quick.

Thanks for the insight. Yeah, it has been stuck at the same stage for a week now, so I suspect it will start building on its original scheduled product week 21.

That's awesome, congrats! Do you by any chance know what the original build week the slot was for? I was told the chances of it being moved up increased when the car was marked sold, for me the week build is 21 but marked sold on week 19.

3.5 weeks would be great but happens to coincide with our first family vaci-cation. 1st world problems, for sure.

I don't, sorry! All I was told was that it was 4-6 weeks out. It seems the dealers tend to be pretty accurate, but that's just from my anecdotal observations on these forums.

And thanks! I saw the car today, looks even better when its all finished!

Hi - which brokers did you use? Can you PM me please? That's an awesome deal.

I was told the same estimate of 4-6 weeks, and yesterday the car showed up at the dealership, 16 days from placing the order (ordered 5/11 (Week 19, allocation build was week 21, built and arrived at the dealer in MD same week)

Everyone is shocked at how quickly it arrived. I guess maybe they are churning out as many pre-LCIs as they can before they make the switch in July.

Congrats on the car! I picked mine up on Saturday and couldn't be happier. It is such a joy to drive.

[MrSo0h0o]

For those that have ordered in the past month, did HK audio end up getting deleted from your build?

Thanks, not sure when I will be able to have it delivered because of the holiday, but excited to get it.

Congrats to you as well! I only test drive it once, and I absolutely loved it!
