2018 X3 (G01) M40i Ordering Guide - initial thoughts

Enjoyed being able to get a first look at the HEA Ordering Guide - thanks for sharing.

Nice to see Adaptive Full LED lights, auto high beams, and LED fog lights as standard. It would seem they're also serious about upgrading the X3's interior to be more competitive with other Mnfr's offerings with the addition of the Vernasca Leather line as the upholstery choice.

And as options, great to see we'll finally have the ability for front ventilated seats - a welcomed addition here in the South (especially on long drives). Helpful to also note the option of a Space-saver spare which was another request in the 'Wish List' (which may negate the need for the compressor and slime as discussed in many threads).

It was also interesting to see the wheel options, which now even offer 21" M Double-spoke wheels. Probably a natural progression to allow such with the X3M not far around the corner, but it does seem to indicate this iteration should be a different beast in the performance area c/w our current 2nd gen series. I haven't had the chance to compare different wheel sizes head-to-head on X3s of similar build, so would be interested to hear what some other forum members think.
