“X”change is coming …

Posted on by Ian C.

And so it begins (again) …

(order details)

UPDATE: on January 8th I got a production number.

UPDATE: on January 31 the car moved to “production begins”!

UPDATE: on February 13 the car moved to entering assembly line (this occurred after I called the BMW Genius hotline this morning, which seems to be a bit of a coincidence – the build status skipped some steps so it appears maybe someone at BMW updated that data today in response to my phone call!

UPDATE: and almost immediately February 14 the car is assembled and ready for transportation!

UPDATE: Today February 24th my X6 shows “at BMW center” – but it’s going to be a few weeks yet till I see it!

Here’s a little comparison chart of the new X6 against my X3:

A “classic car wash”

Posted on by Ian C.

After more than 3,000 miles driving to Oklahoma and Kansas, including “close encounters” with Buffalo, my bug-rain-dirt coated car really needed a wash! It’s already quite hot to be washing my X3 so I visited nearby Classic Car Wash and purchased one of their higher price services – it began with a normal “spray and brushes” automatic car wash but then as many as five people descended on the car cleaning inside and out, very thoroughly! My X3 is now shiny and happy 🙂
