KKTAN 2nd Gear August 2, 2018 Share August 2, 2018 Finally installed the hood insulator that is non standard for all X3 except for the M40i version . Not sure why it is not standard item, but it does reduce NVH even further even though the car is very quiet already. The engine sound is even more muffled now. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat_slayer 4th Gear August 25, 2018 Share August 25, 2018 Went to see the X3 today and test drove the sdrive20i m sports. Comparing this with the GLC200 which I tested last month, the X3 feels better due to; Newer model 10.25” Infointainment system and metering cluster is much nicer Wireless charging Comes with gps and Apple CarPlay which are standard equipment Leather and rear seats more comfy Power/acceleration, noise insulation and road holding felt similar Multi combinations of body and interior colours 19” rims with run flat tires Immediate reg available and more attractive trade in value due to ongoing BMW world. Decided to sign on dotted line and wait for next month delivery.....could have wanted the xdrive30i for more power but then, felt this is sufficient already. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats on your new purchase, and hope you don't rue the fact that you are missing out on the additional power in time to come. The 20i versus the 30i is in terms of the tune - both are 2.0L B48 twin-scroll (not twin) turbo engines, i.e. same hardware, just different software. FC wise, it would seem that the 20i might be better, but if properly driven, the 30i could possibly yield better results because of its power-weight ratio. But at the end of the day, just remember to enjoy and have fun! That's the most important thing. Just my humble tuppence. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wstam Neutral Newbie August 26, 2018 Share August 26, 2018 Final price? Last month, I was quoted 206k nett but must trade in my car.. After the latest COE bidding, the price now is 207,888 without trade in. I asked my SE wrt to CarPlay and the answer was yes iirc.....i rated this feature quite high on my “want” list. Perhaps, u can also check with ur SE. I checked, it's CarPlay ready. Still need to pay $500 for it. Join the X3 G01 WhatsApp group mentioned above. Many owners there.
