2020 LCI X1 xDrive 28i M Sport - First Impressions
Picked up a custom ordered 2020 LCI X1 xDrive 28i M Sport in mid-March. Took about 60 days from placing the order to take delivery. My delivery timeline can be found here.
After 2 months and 1,200 miles, here are my impressions: The Good
The Bad
The Ugly
Overall I'm super happy coming from a 2017 RAV4. Somethings were a "downgrade" per se but overall a stunning car that I am super proud of. Lastly, shout out to VWAudi2BMW for my last photo. Not sure if this is your company or your friend's but these blind spot mirrors are the real deal - work great and look OEM. Much easier than swapping out for euro mirrors. Photos

They are very interesting comments after 2 months - 1200 miles. Thanks.
I have just placed an order for the 2020 X1 xDrive 2.0i M Sport to the UK specification. The accessory packs that are available to us in the UK configurator are different from the US versions, and we cannot specify the M Sport with Sensatec material, we only have the option of different coloured leather for the seats. Also, as you may know, we can get diesel versions but we only get two petrol (gas) versions that have a lower power (bhp) output. The most powerful version is a 4 cylinder 141 kW (192 hp) called the 2.0i and a smaller 3 cylinder version 103 kW (140 hp).

Thank you, sir!
Unfortunately wasn't option otherwise I definitely would've added them. Quote:
Just checked the BMW UK X1 configurator and I must say I am jealous of the M Sport Plus option - improved steering AND braking!

I cancelled the preface lift because the later model had the M Sport Brake option. Photo of mine, brakes are awesome.

Looks great. Since you replaced the grill and did the black/white theme how about adding the black chrome tail pipes as well - https://bimmercat.com/bmw/en/parts/i...me/18309489054

Thanks for that information. I am quite happy with UK 2.0i, so need to remap it. My statement to the OP was only an observation

In regards to the "UGLY", I also have experienced the wheel hop and bump steer you mention with our 2018 X1. Living and driving in Northeast Ohio with miserable roads, My X1 will also, while hitting bumps at highway speed on curves, will regularly slide across the lane and to the outside of the turn. Also no issues with bumps while going straight. Also have experienced a bit more hydroplane in wet weather with this vehicle.
I have gone from Pirelli P7 to Goodyear Eagle Sport, both in a Run Flats. Made no difference in the handling concerning the bumps on curves at highway speed. Possibly a non-Run Flat may make a difference.
