Saw my car today! Not picking it up till next Tuesday. Thanks work!

I'll reserve judgment until delivery, Somethings I liked some things I don't like.
The door handles don't bother me too much.. the rest of the door on the other hand.... I thought maybe because I got full merino leather... maybe... nope.
Also I ordered m sport and my key isn't the "black M key" its silver.... maybe the other key is the black one...
I don't mind the looks of everything, seats felt comfy..I didn't adjust them but they seem smaller in the butt area compared to my X5M seats...

I'm really not trying to compare it to my x5m but it's hard when you're used to something.

I don't know where I'm going to install ALP heads.. Hopefully my installer will be able to come up with something.

Mine was black too. I’d ask for black n have them reprogram that’s unacceptable.

You ordered an X3 xDrive30 with M Sport package, and not the X3 M50 right? Not sure whether you're supposed to get the same key as the M50 since the M Sport package doesn't actually make it a M Performance vehicle.

Genius should be able to give you the last and next stop. You can also get the boll of lading from your CA and use Norfolk Southern's tracking.

Anyone use the digital key for iPhones? How reliable is it? I don't want to be stranded

I am on the east coast so assume it will arrive at the dealer in a couple days. Still no official word on when they can sell it to me, however.
Dealer called, car should arrive this Friday 10/4, and they say I should be able to take it home then (not 10/5). We'll see.

Has yours moved forward at all or still in QC?

No movement at all. Still in QC. Dealer says still waiting on parts and hasn’t been able to get any information.

I just got word my X3 is delayed. It was supposed to be at the San Bernardino railroad hub on 10/3 and now it’s 10/8. Anyone on the west coast having similar delays? I wonder if it has anything to do with the storm or if this just happens.

Train shipments are like that sometimes.

There will be an influx of testimonials tommorow as it is the launch date. Myself and many others will receive the car tomorrow. I will immediately learn her and apply Pan the organizers new ceramic coating and see how good some carpro dark side looks on the tires. Also with the new mesh dash I will be applying carpro fabric to protect it as I see that as the product of choice for that material.

I'm going to pick mine up today, but I got my hopes down on a lease. They quoted me on a $0 down, 36/10k at 1,200/month out the door. I LOL and told the SA to **** haha. So maybe I use a credit union to finance the car or probably the best option would be cash. Any suggestions? A Tesla Y same MSRP is around $750/month all in, not counting the 7.5k incentive.

Did your car make it out of QC?

It did, it took about 2-2.5 weeks and it’s finally shipped. Estimated delivery is end of the month I’m told.

Quality Check

My X3 M50 has a production date of Oct 15 but has now been in Quality Check for one week. I've been unable to get a specific reason for the delay. Anyone else having this problem right now or any insights on how long this can take?

Mine was in QC for 3 weeks. Unfortunately it's just a thing that can happen. No one outside the factory seems to have access to any information about the reason for these delays. Most likely they're just waiting for an additional or replacement part to arrive to complete the assembly. It's frustrating but we just have to wait it out.

Welcome to the forum. The factory does not release the reason for a specific vehicle being in QC to either the dealer or Genius. As mentioned above, it can take awhile to get the replacement parts in since the factory does not keep inventory.
