Used to traditionally be lots of foundries and glass works here many years ago, hence the name Black Country due to the smoke from the chimney's

You know how spell check can make us look like fools sometimes and change the meaning of what we are trying to say into something completely absurd or inappropriate? Well I just thought....Black Country sounded racially insensitive without the background and explanation of the **** for someone in North America who has never heard the name before. In any case, thanks for clearing that up, Cheers Howard |

It's also a reminder to all of us NOT to assume another poster is from our geographical market, or even cultural background (hint: generally, you can check by looking at the poster's profile)

So we ordered the car this morning. I test drove the X1 20d and then took out a 220i to get a feel for the petrol engine. Both are great but concerns I had over the petrol engine suiting the X1 vanished as its smooth, quiet and has a great linear power delivery.
The dealer had two X1's awaiting delivery in the car park on the roof of the building, the salesman kindly took us up to show us them both when I mentioned moving from mineral white to alpine white. The mineral just seemed to pop a little more so we stuck with it, although both looked great! I managed to get 7% off list, a free service pack and free autoglym life shine body protection. So factoring in these two items it came to 8.9% off list price. I thought this was a decent deal considering it's a new model, however I didn't have much to benchmark against... Now the terrible wait until June!!

Congrats also! X1 must be proving popular that the delivery is going out so long.
Would be interesting to see a Mineral White next to and Alpine White. |

I share the pain a little. I have an M4 on order and that is not coming until May so I try to forget about it a bit

My theory is that BMW based demand on previous buying trends and that more people are now considering petrol turbo engines... Subtle differences between the two colours but even on a wet day like today the mineral had a shimmer to it like silver does. The metallic in the paint should really pop on a bright day

Love the M4, might be my next choice too. Although I'm keeping the F10 for a while yet... What colour you gone for?

Not seen San Marino blue, there was a tanzanite blue M4 in the showroom that was awesome. I would have had that colour for the F48 if they offered it... Has Marina blue also looks great on the M4 imo.
