Very cool. I see they are following the same trim rules for the 30i. Anyone know if they are going to have X-Line and Luxury Line?

Not sure that red would suit the X3 but each to their own. I do like the red stitching on the interior and it seems there is extra down the transmission tunnel which you don't get on the X3.

Anyone else think the X3 will get the STD nav etc the X4 is getting? And mention of the M diff that was noted before

I am hoping remote start comes with that new waterproof (?) fancy remote and it is backward compatible with the X3. Maybe that is what the rumor was all about at the CA dealer.

Im sure it will be rolled into the price though.

Not mad that flamenco red isn't available but bummed a little. I would have ordered flamenco red. I'm sure supply is ramping up for 2019 launch.

Wish mine would have came with m sports wheel and m diff. That's the price I pay for being anxious... there is always ordering a 2019 version next year.,

I’ve noticed in some photos, the AC controls have aluminum trim, however the cars I test drove does. Are they only standard in European models?

We get silver ac controls in Australia.
I’ve heard it’s harder to see the symbols on the buttons.

It is a maze trying to get this all straight. It looks like they're doing a better job from the start with the X4. Of course they are not starting from scratch this time.

Does the X4 have a bigger HUD than the X3 2018?

I bet those photos are for markets outside the US. The silver control buttons will disappear for the US market. And possibly the M sport wheel.
I can't stand the looks of that squashed turtle shell profile on the X4. As bad as the X6 when that lump was released years ago. My dealer has said they sell very few of the X6 and X4 models and doesn't expect any change.

I don't think so. From what I can tell all of the things shown on the X4s HUD are also on mine, with the same look/detail. It's just rare to see it all at once.

I keep thinking of the few folks here that actually purchased two new X3’s. Just a few month wait and they could have had one with a fast back. I would love one of each. I should have realized that BMW would up their game on this just as they did on the new X3.

I am still a bit conflicted which one I would choose now.

Waiting for the X4 xline reveal to make my X3 or X4 purchase.

The rump on the X4 doesn't do much for me, and the badging, IMHO, should be above the tail lamps, not on the lower half of the lid.

To each their own! They are essentially the same vehicle. I don't have any regrets.

So far it looks only X420d, 25d and M40d ready at launch, the M40i..And 30d only from August production

[Bored of Audi]

Just hopeing they put the 40d into the X3 and as it is coming in to the UK in the X4 there is now a positive chance we will get a X3 40d...

So this thing starts out with a reported/rumored $10k higher USA base price? How is it justified?

I believe a lot of people were a bit jealous of the new "standard" features. There will be a markup for the sportier body style but forcing packages into the base might be part of it.
