Maybe we could have gotten what we wanted since we were going to get the B58 model, but in any case I'm happy I don't have to worry about it.
I just tried building an X3 30 and it looks like you can no longer spec adaptive cruise control! Same thing on the 430..so they must be aggressively cutting options on all the lower end models. Not sure what else they've cut but I'm sure there's more. If I do ever end up buying an X3 at some point it'd be the m40 model ...and I can't find any evidence of de-contenting or missing options there (but I didn't really look that hard).
