No RED ???? No Blind Spot Warning ????
My daughter would like to replace her current 4dr sedan with a small SUV. Her main desire is for an elevated seating position. I agree, that will give a relatively new driver more confidence in dealing with traffic, etc.
I'd like to put her in a new X1 x2.8. Two problems: Did I miss it in the online brochure and "build-your-own" spec list? Is blind spot warning not available on the new X1??? If not, I think that's a huge mistake… and for us, may be a deal breaker. Her only question about the X1 was: "Does it come in RED, with tan interior?" Apparently, No . That is a deal breaker for her… guess we'll be looking at Q3s and GLA250s. |

Lack of blind spot monitor is a bit ridiculous, when you see it as standard in smaller and significantly cheaper Asian hatchbacks and tiny city cars. I'm told it's because of early production glitches and that it'll be available later on. We'll see about that!!
"Chestnut Bronze" is the closest you get to red. It's quite nice actually, specially with oyster leather seats. Search the forum for photographs. Looks better than "Melbourne Red" in my opinion. Overall, BMW's 2016 colour range is a bit bland for younger customers I guess. The opposite of Mercedes's 2016 range with funky bright green, blue, etc. ESIT:Chestnut Bronze with mocha leather seats - http://f48.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1185117 |

Her only question about the X1 was: "Does it come in RED, with tan interior?" Talk to your Dealer BMW does offer BMW 'individual'. The other alternative is to pick another colour she likes and have it wrapped in a red wrap colour that she loves 'now'. That way if she changes her mind, you can unwrap it, instead of it costing another car. I have driven the Q3, GLA and GLC Buy the X1 it is by far the better car. I am. |
