I believe Nov 30 is the UK release date, and around this date new orders will be delivered to the first customers.

We should expect dealers cars from this date, so there may be local dealer launch type events around this date, or at least cars to view/test drive.

Many thanks I am keen on the change from my F90 M5 comp, to this if the test drive is good.
UK roads now are not for the F90 M5 performance wise it's so quick.

I can amass enough speeding point for a driving ban on a short stretch of motorway these days. Even worse with average speed camera everywhere.

That said I do enjoy a blast on fast country roads, but the X3 isn’t a sports car by any stretch, just a quick SUV.

Looks like it has the Luxury Fabric Dash, which I think possibly looks better in those photos than the material with the weird stitching. Jury is still out on practicality though.

Is it just me, or do the wheels look small relative to the size of the car ?
