There you have it. I went and traded my X1 in for a shiny new 2019 430i Gran Coupe.

Saying good bye to the X1 and hello to the Gran Coupe.

Congratz. How do you compare it to the X1?

The good:
It's a lot smoother riding and handles much better (obviously)

It's quicker and more fun. The paddle shifter is quick

Included at no additional charge: LED headlights and tail lights, widescreen SAT/NAV, moonroof, wireless Apple CarPlay for 12 months

The bad:
The back seats are horrific. I wouldn't recommend any adult over 5' 5'

The windshield feels tiny while driving as compared to the X1
There aren't many storage cubbies.

The door lock/unlock button is in the middle of the instrument panel so if you use the proximity key door handle to unlock, you have to get in and unlock the doors for your passenger. Otherwise you have to set it to unlock all doors.

It's pushing $50K for a base model

Congrats! As an owner of both (X1 for her, 435iGC for me) I have to say that I prefer the GC and I'm always happy when we take it for the long work commute vs the X1.

Hope you enjoy!
