Only surprise was that I lost about 3.5 inches in the back because floor was raised to accommodate spare tire. Ambient lighting is amazing, but that is all I will say.

Very cool, any comments about the PCD or standard review just like the other ones? Waiting for ours to go into production so we can book our PCD as well.

When you get a chance, please show us a pic of the back due to the spare option.

Congrats. Looks great. What tier/options did you select? What car did you drive around for the braking and short track exercises?

PCD was worthwhile and fun. I am not a fan of speed, so driving an X3 30i on slick roads without DSC or riding around the track with a race car driver were not my thing. I loved doing the off road track in the X30i (others drove X3 m40i). Even though this is my 4th X3, I spent almost 2 hours having a product specialist going over all of the controls and learned a lot. That was the best part of the trip as there is so much new technology.

My car is Executive Tier with all packages except towing and damping.

New Rear with spare tire

This is how the rear storage changes with spare. Also, no rails or under deck storage of cover.

We did not order a spare. But aren't people complaining about the "bump" and the missing rails? We have never had an X3 so I wouldn't know what to compare it to.

Here are some pics of the back of mine with the spare option. I had previously posted these on the "X3 M40i Delivered" thread

I got my 30i (Premium package + few options) in California last week. It seems mine came without interior lighting. Nothing lights up at night and I can't seem to find in the menus how to activate it. Does anybody knows if the lights are part of a specific package?

Mine has the ambiance lighting. I got a 30i with Premium, leather, and parking package. I believe from the pricing / option book that is around this board or online, 4UR is included with leather interior.

I like the Terra Brown. I went with Dark Graphite and Mocha interior.

Out of curiosity, why is that "all I will say." Is the ambient lighting the only thing you like?

I've loved my 2018 x3 30i. I upgraded from the 2015 x3 28i. The only issue I'm having is that there seems to be more turbo lag with the engine than I recall on the 28i. Anyone else have the same impression? Is this a "break-in" thing and is there anything I should do to alleviate?

I didn't get leather, maybe that's why…

Yeah, it was not at all obvious that adding the Leather adds the Ambiance Lighting. I ordered before the configurator was up, using the Pricing Guide, and the only clue was where that said that ordering the Vernasca Leather for $1700 would automatically include the 4UR. Interestingly, the Pricing Guide doesn't even say what 4UR is. When I look at my final order, it does indeed list 4UR for Ambiance Lighting as an included option, with price of N/C.
