New X3

Very nice, but dealer just quoted 5-6 months build time and full list price. Any way round either of those?

[Slurms]

Not really, they are brand new and with the UK recently covered in the white stuff again it means 4x4 prices are nice and solid.

No, I asked about ex-demo models and they're not being released until March at least which is when the M-Sport and 3.0d models are being launched.

One of the issues is that they're being made in the US which adds a month to the order time for transport & logistics.

Plenty of ex-demo for sale on here by Sytner at near list. Only 2.0d available though.

Thanks, that could be interesting. 2.0d is OK

Yes, but it was Sytners that I asked and my local dealer has two on here - they may be advertised but you won't be able to take delivery until March earliest I was told. Although I guess they would for the right money... I'm waiting for a 3.0d though.

Check out the Evo review in this months issue - some good comments.

They can't be released until March as part of their franchise agreement with BMW, demonstrators have to be kept for a minimum period of time, selling them before then can lead to serious penalties - no problems with them being reserved but they cannot be released
