Woah! Out here in Vancouver BC, I paid $2200 for this year and that is with the full discount from ICBC.

I got a quote for $1520 per year with TD Meloche here in Ontario

On another note the car is on its way and is in shipped status 😁

Nice!

TheMooseMan · 01-16-2019, 09:20 PM

That's a pretty good price, nick1212! Does it include a depreciation waiver?

I am leasing so doesnt really matter to me. I do get new car replacement and a bunch of other items. I have been with them for 15 years now so not sure if that has anything to do with a decent enough price.

Just wondering what you guys are doing with the hotspot function. I read somewhere that ATT offers like unlimited data for 20$ a month in the USA. Anything decent in Canada or just feed off the wifi off your phone. It will go fast with kids and netflix.

Does anyone know if my F30 18" winters will fit the X3 M40i? Trying to keep the rims and get new tires if they will fit. Otherwise going to have to get a whole new set. Tks

Biggbruvv · 01-20-2019, 08:41 PM

Winter in Canada is so much better driving this around. Really impressed with the performance in the snow!

They won't fit.
New bolt pattern. Different offset.

This is what BMW can deliver X3's with:
7JX18 ET22 (225/60R18) (Not for M40i or others with M-sport brakes)

7,5JX19 ET32 (245/50R19)

8x20 ET27 (245/45R20)
9,5x20 ET43 (275/40R20)

8,5x21 ET30 (245/40R21)
9,5x21 ET43 (275/35R21)
(5/112 66.6mm)

There are people that found after market 18" rims that will clear the M-sport brakes though. Then you'll find nice 225/60R18 will fit for winter.

Thanks for the info...I am getting my car early...now have to go find some winter rims and tires. Was hoping not to buy them this year.

Negotiated a deal on a new order for March production - late April or early May delivery.

Negotiated a pretty decent deal with my local dealer. Happy with the result.

In addition to dealer discount, also have a $500 discount program from BMW and my salesman said he expects to have a Private Sale in April that would mean an additional $750 in savings if I attend. Current lease rate is 3.99% but he expects the rate to drop to 3.49% once leftover 2018 M40i's are mostly gone nationwide. He is confident it will drop between now and May, but so will the residual. Expect the lease rate difference will still outweigh the drop in residual.

March production so still have some time to choose final specs. Can't decide on exterior color. Initially wanted Phytonic Blue but then I eliminated it. Always had white cars and am leaning there, but somehow I really like Glacier Silver. I typically don't like silver cars but there is something about Glacier Silver that pops on this car... Plus it's not as flat as the non-metallic alpine white...

TheMooseMan · 01-21-2019, 11:09 AM

Congrats on the deal!
Regarding the color, whatever you pick will look great, the X3 is just beautiful!

Thanks!

My dealer has M40i's in stock in both colors so will have them park them side by side and I will have a gander. Does Cognac go well with Glacier Silver? I was set of Alpine White/Cognac but no sure Cognac and silver go together...

How do you do that. Please tell me.

Thanks

TheMooseMan · 01-21-2019, 05:20 PM

Just a few sites seem to work nowadays. The one that I consider the best:
https://www.mdecoder.com/decode/<the last 7 characters of your VIN #>

e.g.: https://www.mdecoder.com/decode/le21220

Hmm say VIN# not found. Too new?

TheMooseMan · 01-21-2019, 08:07 PM

Might be the case. Try in a few days maybe... or daily.
