BMW's Canadian site still doesn't have the 2019 X3 listed. Does anyone have a list of the changes for 2019 that Canada gets, and a copy of the ordering guide they can share?

just get the ultimate package and make sure u add the m differential

Yes, get the ultimate package.

Here are the documents my sales guy provided me when I was speccing out my vehicle. I ended up with a 2019 X3 M40i in glacier silver.

The prices & ordering info document shows what changed between the 2018 and 2019 packages.

Thanks gang

The documents are confusing. After all, it's not clear if 4AW (leatherette dashboard) is included or not on the Ultimate Package for the 30i. I'm a bit concerned about it because I picked up my car last week (with Ultimate Package) and it didn't come with leatherette dashboard.

Dealer was saying last week leatherette dash has been discontinued and isn’t available anymore.

Weird - I believe leatherette dash is standard on M40i in Canada. At least that`s what I was told and it seems to jive with the Retail Ordering Guide that I have... Do you mean it's no longer available on the 30i?

[Fuzz3D]

It's not exactly confirmation, but I spent a bit of time looking at a few of the posted X3 M40i and xDrive30i vehicles from my local dealership. It appears that the M40i's have the leatherette stitching on the dash, but the xDrive30i trims seem to have a molded dash with no visible stitching. That's even the case for an xDrive30i vehicle that has the Merino leather seats.

If that's the case, then the documents I posted above may be out of date, or I just didn't spot any of the xDrive30i models that had leatherette dashboards. For those Canadians considering an X3, it may be one more reason to lean towards the M40i.

Jan 1, 2019 price list shows it as std for the M40i and I don’t see it as an option on any of the 30 packages.

That is interesting- I can confirm my 2018 30i with the ultimate package does have the leatherette dash

could you post the jan 1, 2019 list?

[cgroves]

Unfortunately other family members have it now, I'll see if I can get them to scan it and send it to me.

Can you explain the “M diff’l”? I can’t see any info on it as it would pertain to the M40i

Thanks!

Thanks!

2019 model in north america comes with an optional m-differential for 1300$~ in canada.

Option 2T4, supposedly makes a huge difference in handling on turns / curvy roads etc.

Like a limited slip differential if i'm not mistaken

[cgroves]

Computer control variable limited slip diff, helps the car during the part of the corner post apex when your getting on the power to deal with the rear inside tire being lighter. Might also help in bad traction to help prevent getting stuck. I've heard its subtle but the effects are noticeable.
