My next X

Last Friday I ordered my next X a 2018 X3 xDrive 30i. In 2010, I ordered my second BMW a 2011 X3 xDrive35i and took delivery January 2011. I miss that ride a lot. The 2011 X3 was a good size for my needs, very powerful in 35i variation, sounded great and handled well. At that point in time I spec'd the ride with only leather, heated front seats and the cargo package. The 35i had standard LED halos and xenon headlights and I thought it looked good. Don't remember why car technology and options weren't very important to me. Maybe it was the cost or it being my second BMW. I was even okay with the no charge Jet Black paint which was painful to keep looking good.

This time around I chose the 30i because it will be powerful enough for me and I'm lucky to have a M3. It will replace my 2016 X1. Plus I really don't drive much since I left the suburbs and use public transit and ride sharing services most of the time. I wanted certain features with this car that had me checking boxes to get things I wished were independent options. I wanted M sport brakes so I had to get a package. I wanted icon headlights so I had to get another package. So here is my build.
