Put my deposit down on x2 m35i

It’s on its way from port but I finally got to drive one today and man I liked it a lot. I had the option of finishing the paperwork and leaving with a loaner but I figured I would skip all the unfun stuff until the car shows.

It’s a blue one with black leather & premium package.

Thanks! You were right about the visibility, it's a nice little portal and the suspension is honestly better than the X1, my car is harsh and bouncy and this one felt tight and controlled.

If this grey one I drove didn't have the stupid wireless charging that consumes the entire armrest I probably would have bought it but I couldn't pay $500 for something I hated!

I was hoping to hear a teeny bit more about the 35i model. I just stumbled upon this today and now I'm very curious. But.. it seems to me that other than the msport type of trim, you get the option of the single piece seats, a "tuned" motor and.. ? I tried a few searches to see the comparison, but nothing comes up that specifies, only strict talk about the new model.
My wife's '16 X1 msport lease is due, but we're considering keeping it.. and maybe I'll get a new car to replace my aging E60. However, it seems that the '18 model X2's are on a fire sale.. so if there's not a huge difference then dollar wise if I'm saving like 10K and could just add a jb4 for performance (and maybe at least get an msport looking X2) It might be a wash. Any comments? I test drove an 18 X2 and other than the asthetics, I thought it drove almost identical to the X1.

What would you like to know about? Drives and handles great coming from an F80 i have no disappointments with its daily driving experience.

Drive one and then make a decision, think you’ll find it very different than a standard model, and no its not just a tune vs ‘18model.

This car is nothing like an x1. I just finished driving one about 41k miles.

Everything about the m35i is amped up. You might get nearly the same hp with a tune but you won’t get:

The trans tune includes different gear ratios
Bigger brakes (my x1 warped rotors like a Ford)
Suspension tune (very well planted little body roll)
An lsd
Beefed up engine guts to handle the extra power
That insane exhaust note

My x2 is so much faster than the x1 even at half throttle and shifting at 4k, it’s almost silly.

Got tint done today. Suntek CXP 80 on the windshield and 25 on the front doors. He recommended over ceramic for matching the factory back tint.

My hood had a horrible gap issue when I got it (which of course I didn't notice until later). Yesterday I fiddled with the latch height until it was right. The passenger side was high and the driver side low.

The front gap is ok, the pic is an optical illusion.

This morning I turned off the fake sound and what a nice change!! In this car the sport mode is obnoxious and drony. The funny thing is, all the cool sounds (the pops and such) are all real, it was just the loud drone that was fake. Now I can cruise in sport and not be annoyed!

Thanks for all the updates billnchristy, the pictures do look gorgeous! Haven't had the chance to ride in the X2 yet.. I've however, started to think about staying with a sedan and going with a 16 or 17 435xi GC. Bang for buck might be nice not to have to deal with depreciation, and still have a warranty for a little bit longer. Guess I'll have to see if I fall in love with the 35i when I drive it

It was quite funny, I pulled about a car length on him and then I heard that big nasty v8 over my engine and he started pulling. It wasn’t an absolute slaughter but I got out of it before he did because he had to make a point.
