Still getting to grips with these sites so please feedback if images haven't uploaded.

Mine is a 2017 M sport, new to me this year (bit late to the party I know) and a first BMW for me.

Thinking the black kidney grills (rather than chrome) may tie in with the rest of the car more?

Not sure what else I'll do, if I'm feeling brave may look at fitting a bigger screen

Sweet!

IMO, the first thing you must do is change/paint the kidneys all-black.

Beautiful rims too!

If that was in reply to my post then thank you that's very kind

Excellent news

was thinking the same given with the M Sport all the other chrome bits are already black.

Seen the black ones for ~£90 unless anyone knows anywhere better?

Yes that was to you. I have heard the eBay non-OEM are good enough.

I always wondered how the X1 would look with a roundel on the D pillar like the X2

Hello From Canada! 🇨🇦

I’m going for the sleek sporty European outdoors adventure look with off-road wheels+tires. Waiting on my front lip and M style mirror covers to arrive.

Cheers!

I'm more envious about your car wash than I am about the car. US and Canada have far better automatic car washes then we have in the UK.

Looking amazing! how did you add paddle shifters? Is it easy?

If your car is prewired it’s not too bad.

You need to take off the steering wheel, dissassemble the parts and install new wiring loom and the code the car.

You can also swap the steering wheel and sell your old wheel. Watch the F30 Paddle Shift retrofit by Kies motorsports video on YouTube to get an idea of the work involved.

This is my baby. She has a name, which is Raven. She is a 2019 model year in black sapphire metallic. I had her grill blacked out and her interior has green accessories. Im obsessed with this car. It holds so much. Great upgrade from my Honda Civic. 😁 i love seeing everyone's love for their X1s! My dream color would be the storm bay metallic. I also wish my car had the colored ambient lighting as mine only has orange and white. No big deal though!

mrpingu · 10-13-2023, 03:48 AM

Coated winter wheels black and put them on

SFraser · 10-16-2023, 05:20 PM

Finally got round to changing to the front grills. Also, only a minor change, but debadged the car as I wasn't a fan of the badges on the doors and removed the X1 from the rear. Bit of sticky stuff remover and dental floss worked a treat

SFraser · 10-16-2023, 05:23 PM

De-badged pics, wouldnt upload before.

I really love that color!

Little bit jealous but I met a guy that could wrap my car way under market price so maybe I go for the frozen blue color based on this. Let's see in spring.

Picture of today:
Now with upgraded auto-/powerfolding, dimmable and tilt-to curb mirrors. I think a debadge would be nice upgrade on mine aswell

SFraser · 10-17-2023, 03:14 AM

Lovely motor mrpingu,

I have contemplated wrapping mine to protect the original paint better, but I wouldn't know what colour, when she's clean I love the blue all over again 🤣

How did you find doing the mirrors? Would love electric folding mirrors, but don't think I have the confidence to do them myself.
