My Sparkling Brown X1

Hi guys,

I finally took delivery of my X1. It arrived a little earlier than expected but I guess that's a good thing. There were no sparkling brown car with mocha leather and the adaptive cruise in Canada at the time of my order, so I put in a factory order back in early January.

It has almost everything except for the M Sport package and enhanced Bluetooth. I believe this is one of the first Sparkling Brown car in this forum. The paintwork is quite beautiful, but I maybe biased

Here's one quick pic I snapped today.

We have one over here in the UK. Ours is Sparkling Storm (Brown), with Oyster leather. We love the colour as well. Changes so much in different light.

Looks great! I'm so glad I ordered those same wheels. Too bad couldn't opt out of run-flats.

This is a different colour to yours though, yours is more green Imo.

Sparkling Storm is known as Dark Olive over the pond...Sparkling Brown is a different colour altogether.
