So excited!!
Hi,
I am new to the forum and wanted to share my excitement with you Yesterday I ordered a white X1sDrive20i M Sport due for delivery January, exact date to be confirmed. It has a build week of week 50 .... yayyyy. I'm slightly disappointed that BMW have stopped making petrol 4WD and I had to settle for the 2WD, but realistically we don't have much snow on the South Coast of England and I didn't 'need' 4WD. However, there were some extras I did want, and so by buying new I got to pick what I wanted rather than compromise on some stuff that important to me. I shall read with interest all the topics to try and understand as much as possible about the car before he arrives. (I think he looks more of a 'he' than a 'she' :-) ) Excited to be on the forum and excited to be getting my new car soon!! Jean |

Awesome! I took delivery of mine very recently - what did you go for, tell us more! Colour, options, etc.
I wouldn't worry about the 4wd - you'll get better fuel economy with 2wd. I'm so impressed with mine - performance is great, it sticks to the road nicely, cabin noise is so much less than my old car (scirocco). I was worried when they'd moved the X1 from RWD to FWD, but honestly, it's a very well balanced car. |

Thank you for reassuring me about the 2WD, I wasn't sure but then decided it wasn't 'necessary'. Well I got a bit carried away with the options and didnt think anyone would want to know ... so here we go...but I do NEED them all - honestly He is white and: Adaptive suspension Space saver spare wheel Elect folding mirrors Comfort Access Reversing Camera Assist Sun protection glass Lumbar support PDC for front and rear Extended light package Traffic Jam assist Diving assistant plus Active cruise control with Stop go function Park assist Head Up display Remote services BMW Nav plus package I know, I know....but I did get a very good deal for "Black Friday' (oh, and he didnt quite go over £40k) |

Nice motor
We have the 4wd White 20i bought 2 month old back in July. Not very well speec,d up as I did not order it new. Amongst the extras it has the Lumber Support that was a "must" for us,and the sport seats from your MSport. I do not find the Bridgestone tyres quite and have always found they increase noise as they wear. ASAP I change over to Contis My only disappointment are the LED headlights,they are nowhere near as good as the Adaptive Zenons in my previous X1 (e84) ,or the previous e61. Whereas the Zenons actually turned into corners ,these just have a rather weak additional fixed corner light. We do live on hills and I am at present looking at sourcing "winters" but keeping the "star" marking so as not risking warrantee trouble. We have the xLine as the MSport is on the hard side for my wife. I also have the BMW. Z3 for the fun drives --- that is hard drive. And if the snow ever gets deep I tend to borrow my sons Isuzu DMax on BF Goodrich Mud Tyres,but on just a moderate snow cars need winter tyres--- they are not snow tyres Last edited by Abh29; 11-25-2018 at 09:13 AM.. |

Which trim did you go for? Only thing I'd say is it's definitely worth adding sports seats. The standard ones are shit. |

Hope the 'list' price was below £40K with all that kit included, because the annual RFL first and subsequent years are based on manufacturers prices before any discounts are given. I'm almost 8 months into my X1 and approx 8300 very enjoyable and economical miles (overall average from new, currently 40.2mpg and I had one trip a few weeks ago where I averaged 50mpg over 150 miles). |

I have found the dash figure to be the most optimistic I have even known. I tend to keep a accurate record of fuel consumption on my cars,not that it really matters --- but it can be a warning of trouble occurring I find I can get figures varying +/- 15% from average ,I use Road Trip from Darren Stone . |

I went for the M Sport. We were torn between the M Sport and the X-Line but thought the M Sport looked nice in white because of the black on the car. Annoyingly the dealer didnt have an X-Line in for us to look at closely and drive, but gave us a Sport version to drive and said it was the nearest to the X-line suspension. After a couple of long test drives, over bumps and lumps, we thought there wasn't too much difference and so I went for the M-Sport as I haven't grown up yet and so like a car to look 'the business'. I was worried about the suspension being too hard, but decided not to go for run-flats and to include the adaptive suspension option. A tip I picked up from reading this forum for a couple of weeks.. Mind you, I am currently driving a Golf GTI Performance and so anything would seem 'soft' compared to that. Jean
