2- What color did you paint your front grill? gloss or mate black?

thanks
For $40 (US), just by a black grill. This way you won't have to worry about chips and looking cheap.

Very very nice😀

How are you finding the electric range, close to the 33 spec?

Misano looks fantastic on this.

Too be honest with you my experience from buying the car wasnt the greatest and there was a lot left too be desired so didnt realise there was an option in this. idrive was what i got.

yes full charge getting about 50km of range but again know one explained how any of it works (first hybrid) so learning as i go . thank you all for the positive comments and yes the colour really makes it.

Lovely Car, same as mine but I have Ivory leather and a panoramic sun roof.
Wasn't sure about Minsano Blue but like it a lot now I've lived with it for a few months.
I had a 2016 X1 SDrive Xline before and loved it, now being loved by one of my sons. The only thing I miss is not having Run Flats, which I must say were a savior to myself and wife a couple of years ago on a trip back from the UK to Ireland when a scalpel blade found its way into the nearside rear tyre on a Sunday evening on our way to the Car Ferry. We got back to Dublin OK just drove a bit slower. New Tyre €250.00 but no missed ferry and extra hotel bills etc.

Enjoy the car, will watch out for another (Rare) Minsano Blue X1 25e around Ireland.

Hi Mate, i read your comment on my car earlier, it is nice to know there is another one out there, it is my first suv and my first brand new car which i am very excited about. i dont suppose you have any pictures of your car as id really like to see it. wishing you and your wife safe travels and enjoy the new car


I also did a long distance travel to poland 6km round trip and the car performed flawlessly, however a front parking sensor went a little mad and the mpg was just awful at mixed driving i was hoping it to be a lot better but its not something to worry about to much.

It works differently from uploading pix, you need to host your video somewhere first, like YouTube or Dropbox, Google Drive, etc but be sure no one will need a password in order to gain access to the hosting site and see your video. Then when in this editing window, you click on the "Insert Link" button and then paste in the link to your video from the hosting site. You won't be able to see the video when you click "Preview Post" but once you Submit your Reply and then look at it, your video should show.


You can test this by going to YouTube and selecting a video to use as a test. Pick something car related, then copy the link to your clipboard and try creating a post and following these instructions. Once you are successful in knowing how to do it, you can then find a hosting site for the video you want to show.
