Incidentally, there are plenty of highly specialized tools which, if not actually strictly necessary, make working on BMWs much faster and easier, a trait BMWs share with many other makes.

Just because you don't see any benefit to a new fastener type doesn't mean BMW's engineers don't see one.

I can’t recall whether it’s different leather from the X5 but my X3 leather feels nice to me.

I ordered it with every feature (long story) but the 2023 models did not have heads up display or parking assist due to semiconductor shortage, as I understand it. The 2022 I test drove did have both so I was pretty disappointed not to have them. I don’t know if I have dynamic handling? I can choose how I want it to handle. Sorry that isn’t helpful. I know a few people who love heads up display.

The dealer told me I can now order the 2023 with the heads up display and parking assist. However on the BMW website - you can only build a 2024 model. But I plan to order 2023 model.

Did you get the M sport? What color did you get exterior/interior?

Yes, M sport. Dark blue exterior and black leather interior. I love it! I built it online and supply chain delays meant I had to rebuild a 2023 instead of a 2022 and that’s when I lost the heads up display, etc. I got it in Fall 2022 so back when it was hard to get a new car.

Thank you for the information. I was told I could only get leather with M sport. Does M sport mean that the fron kidney grill is black? Or do you need to add showline for that?

Also what dealer did you use to order it?

My front grill is silver on the X3 M sport. I remember there being options beyond leather when I built it. As for ordering, it’s a company benefit I got with a promotion so it went through a fleet management company my employer uses.

Thank you. So with M sport you have the black shadow trim around windows instead of silver?

Yes, I have black trim around windows with M Sport.

Sorry to keep on this point so with M sport I would get the black trim around the windows but a silver kidney grill? The one at the dealership had both black trim and black gloss kidney grill. However I didn't want that - I wanted the silver grill.
