Rare beast - BMW X3 sDrive 18d
Finally after exactly 4 months ordered X3 arrived. This is a company car and it is absolutely basic. The only modification I could do is the color. 0 options (ah, no - CD player, why ?) with 136 hp Diesel engine (downgraded from 150hp), rear drive. automatic gearbox. rear wheel drive.
Generally very happy with that, noise comfort is absolutely fantastic after VW. Bit disappointed with a gear box, it is a bit slow-thinking after VW's dual clutch DSG. More impressions to come. Options list: S1CAA Selection of COP relevant vehicles S1CBA CO2 package S205A Automatic transmission S230A Extra package, EU-specific S25TA 18" light-al.wheel V-spoke 618 S2PAA Wheel bolt retainer S2VBA Tire pressure display S2VCA Tire repair kit S320A Deleted, model lettering S3ATA Roof rail, aluminum, satin finish S423A Floor mats, velours S430A Interior/outside mirror with auto dip S431A Interior mirror with automatic-dip S4K8A Inter.trim finishers oxide silver dark S508A Park Distance Control (PDC) S534A Automatic air conditioning S548A Kilometer-calibrated speedometer S5AVA Active Guard S5DAA Passenger airbag deactivation S606A Navigation system Business S650A CD player S6ACA Intelligent emergency SOS call S6AEA Teleservices S6AKA Connected Drive Services S6APA Remote Services S7CGA BMW Repair Inclusive S843A Power reduction S868A Language version, Dutch S886A On-board vehicle literature Dutch S8APA Dummy-SALAPA S8KAA Dummy-SALAPA S8R9A Refrigerant R1234yf S8S3A Automatic locking when driving off S8TFA Active pedestrian protection S925A Dummy-SALAPA S9AAA Outer skin protection Last edited by kilch; 08-29-2018 at 03:29 PM.. |

Well, I guess you have at least one option automatic gearbox. You can actually have sDrive 18d with manual. Also maybe folding mirrors (or you just folded them by yourself)?
Any interior pictures? Very curious how does X3 without AC looks. Does it have "sport wheel", I have seen some images of standard "thin" wheel but only in brochure. |

Then you should search this forum better. Plenty pictures of standard wheel.

They are LED for a low beam, and halogen (normal lamp) for a high beam, which is OK. But they are missing that iconic light band around the reflector. This is a bad marketing actually, because it is a kind of identification of the car brand when you see it in the mirror or in the night you can easily identify the brand. It is like removing BMW logos from everywhere from the car. |

If you plan to use holding frame, check it carefully before attaching to the bumper, because X3 I had on a test drive had it and parking sensors were reacting on it. So if you decide to use a frame, check that it is not too thick. Last edited by kilch; 08-31-2018 at 02:07 PM.. |

How much money do you save by going for the power reduction in Belgium? We used to have that awful option in Norway as well to avoid horse power tax. But now that tax has been replaced by a CO2 tax, so no more 843 power reduction coming our way anymore.
