Hi guys,
I had my test drive on 20i Sdrive X line.
It drives great, it was quite ride (the test drive was on None- RFT) but what bothered me the most was the beige color is catching dirt and the seats are not comfortable!

I changed my order to Sport line with black interior and sports seats.
Even though the beige make the interior feel larger but I'm very afraid I will be disappointed from the visible dirt

Hope I made the right decision !

Here are some pictures from the test drive[IMG][/IMG]

Keep in mind that all black interior is "all black". I had it I'n my f30 and it gets boring.

I had it in my previous F30 , I liked it with time even though it is a bit dark, I'm very afraid to be frustrated from the visible dirt :

Don't think visible dirt will be a problem with beige (Which is what I've got).

I had my last car with beige cloth for 5 years, and even with a dog it took very little cleaning to look pristine.

My X1 has leather which just wipes clean unlike cloth, and has black most places that will come in contact with feet (Unless you're very athletic and/or adventurous ).

I think you made a very wise decision. Beige is an attractive color, but does not belong on so many surfaces -- especially the door handles, which will be permanently filthy in no time. Using more black, as on the oyster & black version, makes a lot more sense for looking clean.

Of course, the sport seats are almost mandatory because the standard seats are so horrible.

And if you like the black leather, don't worry about getting bored with it. I have been driving BMWs with an "all black" interior for over 20 years and am not bored yet.

Good to hear that but still the standard seats are not good , too small.. I drove the car for 30 minutes and the seats felt small and less comfortable than expected

I'm glad to hear that, I completely agree with you and I'm happy for my decision although I will need to wait a bit more

You made a good choice in my opinion. I also ordered all black interior with anthracite roof liner. I never tire of it.

I am not sure if you can still change it, but if you want a light interior without the cleaning issues you should go for the Oyster. I have it with anthracite roof liner in my X1.
It has been very easy to keep clean so far and I think it looks great
You can see my X1 on 'Post pics of your X1'

In Israel we do not have the oyster option at all, no real leather, only black and beige dummy leader

Shame I've gone for Mocha as its lighter than black, provides some contrast but should still be simple to care for. Having said that black looks great, it just that our last 5 BMW's have all had black leather so I wanted something different this time around....

Hi Hanizh, I was wondering, you mention the test drive car had no-RFTs, yet in the pictures it shows wearing the 19" wheels. Was a test car from a dealer or a someone who owns it already? Do you recall what non-RFT tyres the car had by any chance?.. Thnx in advance.

It is from the dealer, he had 19 non RFT, I do not recall the brand sorry
My order is same wheels but RFT, I want to save the space in the trunk
