X1 Options help
Hi,
Have spent hours and hours through these forums and all over the internet, but struggling to get an idea on a couple of options for the X1 I've just ordered.
We went for a xDrive20d in Sapphire black with the following options:
Comfort Pack (with cruise control)
Performance control (no idea if this is worth it, but sounded good!)
Panoramic sunroof (hope this is worth it, as never actually seen one)
Sun protection glass
Folding mirrors
Black leather, Heated Sports seats with Lumbar adjust
Extended storage
DAB
High Gloss shadowline
Bluetooth telephone prep with telematics
Professional Navigation with Voice control
Style 320 18" wheels with compulsory runflats.
When deciding on the car, I drove an sDrive18d with 17" wheels (non run-flat), and an xDrive23d with 18" runflats, and can't really recall the ride on the latter being too much different, but does anyone have any real-world feedback on wheel size?
Bigger wheels always look good, but the 17's do actually suit the car quite well, so I'm now wondering whether or not to ditch the 18" option.
Also, I need some help with the navigation system. I originally opted for a USB port and no navigation, but eventually added in the professional system and removed the USB as:
- professional has 12Gb of storage so no need to connect iPod
- I believe that with the Phone prep and cradle and iPhone, music can be accessed as if it was plugged into the USB.
Question is, if the professional navigation has a USB in the glove box to load music etc, then can this be used to charge iPods, or even access them? i.e. is there still a point to specifying the USB option (at £210!)
What do people think of the standard sound system? Adequate, or worth an upgrade?
Finally, the Xenon light option - I have these on my Honda S2000 and think they're great, but even with a low level sports car, occasionally cars flash me as they think I have full beam on. Are they worth it for the X1, and being a higher car, anyone had any issues blinding other cars?!
Sorry for the long post - this will be my first BMW, and to be honest, I'm a bit shocked at things which are options on what is a fairly expensive car to start with.
Car is due end of sept, so I've got a bit of time to adjust the spec.
Cheers
