Finally Picked Her Up

Hi All

I finally picked up my new X3MC in Phytonic Blue today and have to say I love it.

Like many have said the ride is firm but not that much firmer than my 5 touring with 19 inch wheels and run flats. If you buy one you won't need a cushion on your head when you drive it.

The displays are so much crisper than my previous ones and the customisation is great.


Car came without a mobility kit but when I pointed out to the salesman they are not run flats he put one in the car for me saying "if they don't come with run flats you should have mobility kit"

Only covered 35 miles so far but you can fell the engine wants to be released.

I will posted some pics when the weather is better.

Cheers Steven

Congrats! Looking forward to seeing pictures. I've done a few hundred miles now and no issues with the ride.

It will tell you on the tyre my last car had run flat in small writing on the wall of the tyre.

I’m not sure you can get run flats for 21” wheels but may be wrong.

You’ll love the colour in bright sunlight it’s a lovely light metallic blue and as the light changes it’s goes slightly darker.

Yes it should be under the boot floor where the spare would be.
