So we picked up my wife's new car today (edit: actually we just test drove it all day, long story) and its amazing! It looks so much better than i thought it would. Like a lot of members on the forum i thought that the standard line looked better than Msport. And in pictures it kinda does, but in person, seeing them side by side, the Msport is hands down the better looking vehicle.
Its late here so i'll write a bit more about the car tomorrow. Here some pictures of it in the meantime. (most of the pictures didn't upload, I'll add more later)

Congrats on the new car. Mineral grey is a cool colour. The M sport does look better in the flesh than in pictures I saw a black one yesterday and it really impressed me .

Congrats on the new car, very nice....
A good thing we all have our own taste I saw my color (alpine white today) and I really had to check twice if it was a 2 active tourer or a X1, the x-line makes it more a SUV but that is just my 2 penny's..... Enjoy the ride |

Thanks for the photos.
We have just placed an order two days ago for (almost) the same -- M Sport in Mineral Grey. Have the black high-gloss with pearl chrome highlight, harman/kardon and 19" wheels (standard in Australia). Having seen these photos, I'm thinking of changing back to black leather with blue stitching (just have regular black leather now but initially planned on getting the blue stitching). |

Haven't seen the M Sport in person but your photo makes a compelling argument to go with it. Mineral gray shows the lines best and gives the 1-XER a purposeful look.

Congrats on your new ride! I like the overall look of the M sport but that rear bumper with those huge black areas don't do much for me. Of course your color and other dark colors mask it better.

Looks great, 40oz! Thanks so much for posting the pics. My wife and I were going back and forth about Mineral Grey vs. Alpine White... I felt the AW really brings out the lines of the car, but wifey was totally against having 2 AW vehicles (we have an F30 MSport)... we ended up ordering a Mineral Grey MSport with Mocha interior.
Congrats! Can't wait to see more pics and hear your impressions. |

As for impressions I thought it was pretty solid overall. It being front wheel drive biased I thought the difference would be immediately noticeable coming from my rear drive 335. To my surprise it wasn't. We didn't push the car very much but there were no signs of torque steer. And it's very planted at high speeds. we got on the autobahn I gave it maybe 80% throttle and the car accelerated up to 110 mph quickly and with little effort. It definitely won't have trouble reaching the limiter lol. Other than that I didn't take much to look into the cars features. I just wanted to see how it drove. A couple things though. Ive read on the forum that MSport doesn't come with the heated steering but ours did. And I'm curious about the parking assist. We were driving after pressing the park assist button and the car appeared to be looking for openings big enough to park in. Didn't know it would do that. Our car is fully loaded except for speed limit info so we have lot more playing around to do, but we won't see it again til February. Overall my wife and I really like it. We only wished they had the 19inch wheels available when our car finished production(there was a shortage that's why we have the 18s). Great little car, I hope you like yours as much as we like ours!
