X3 delivery!

I ordered my new BMW X3 the evening of May 2nd, so the computer entry did not occur till the May 3rd – and now, less than 19 days later, the car is mine!


A nice interior, with loads of gadgetry to learn, just how I wanted it, and a nice change from the all black Q5:

Many thanks to BMW of Peabody for getting the car delivered today, even with excessive delays from Geico! Special thanks to Bill Cotton …

X3 / Q5 comparison

I got my first chance to see my new X3 this morning – it arrived at the dealership last night (less than 16 days since I placed the order!)

Even filthy dirty as she is (apparently transported uncovered and in reverse from Spartanburg!), it’s clear there’s more styling to the X3 than the Q5 – compare the hoods:

 

It’ll be at least Monday before I get to drive her and learn all the other differences …
