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 …

A lovely day today, clear skies and sunny but not too hot – a few more comparison pictures between iPhone and Sony DSLR; first the iPhone:

I definitely prefer the iPhone version – but then a second comparison close-up of our Rose, is a sure win for Sony:
