But seriously, congrats on such a beautiful M, glad a fellow enthusiast on Bimmerpost is able to enjoy it!

So you think the X3 M's ride was acceptable down the 15 and around the SLC city streets? All the talks of a supposedly 'brain meltingly harsh' ride makes me think twice about getting one...
So sorry, you'll get the next one! Were you seriously considering purchasing this one?

Thank you for the kind words.

No issues with the ride whatsoever! I drive it in Comfort mode, exclusively. I honestly do not know what people are expecting?! Super comfortable drive back on I-15 back home. Nothing "harsh" or "firm" about it.

However, I used to daily drive a Shelby GT350, Focus RS and an Audi TTRS and those suspensions were way more harsh then the X3MC.

Been a busy day so didn't have much time at the Dealership. Here is one of the back badge while I was there, though.

I was seriously drooling over it, but cannot say I was seriously considering purchasing it. Still just under a year left on my 340i lease, so have a bit of time before I'm serious.

How much of a difference do you notice between Comfort and Sport/+?

You should check in your area for the pull ahead program where BMW will pay I believe up to 3-6 payments to get you into a newer model....just referred a friend in and they paid her last 3 months and she still got a great discount on her new BMW.

He is in Switzerland. Euro customers have a no cost de-badge option from the factory. Wish they wold offer the same here, even though the dual exhaust tips on either side are a dead give away to those in the know.

Terrific; have you posted more pics in a Photos thread? Seems there's a lot floating around on the X3Ms but it's the X4M I'm most interested in seeing more of!

HEA" stands for "Handler Erst Ausstattung", the first production cars delivered to dealerships for demo purposes.

My little contribution to keeping the thread on topic

My dealer provided the opportunity for a "grand unveiling" in their Presentation Suite


And I couldn't have been more delighted by what was under the cover...


And here she is at home and ready for bed after a full detail, ceramic coat, and lots of attention...


Roll on tomorrow, and the next day, and the next day... you get the picture

That is a purdy automobile! And I'm not even a huge fan of the X4 in general, but that does look good!

No one will even see that car much less notice it. It's like it is perfectly camouflaged to blend into the street

I love it!!!!!

Yeah, thought I would go for one of the more understated colours... I got far too much attention with the Sophisto Grey F26 last time...

Congrats on the new car. Love the colour, i am 99% sure on DG but i do like how bright the red is.

Is that Douglas Park in Glasgow you got yours? They never offered me much of a deal so currently going between two others to get best price.
