So after a nearly two month wait I just picked up my X1 from the dealer - so far I'm totally in love here is my build
sDrive28i xLine
Midnight Blue Metallic
Beige Leatherette
Cold Weather Package
Driver Assistance Package
Technology Package
MoonRoof
Power Seats
Roof Rails in Aluminum Satin
BMW Apps
I'm coming from an 09 Mini Clubman S so in overall build quality this is a major leap for me. Also just feels more powerful. My initial impressions (with less then 25miles on the car) are in no particular order:
1. Its amazingly more quit inside the cabin then my mini
2. Its got some good pickup - although I haven't pressed since I want to break it in
3. Surprisingly roomy for a small truck/car
4. While I can see some of the complaints on the stock audio system - I think its fine. It does lack some bottom end and the highs can be a little shrill but for everyday use its way better then the HK system I had in my Mini.
5. Leatherette def. feels like leatherette but I think its a good option with kids and dogs.
6. A/C system is miles beyond my mini - it gets cold and gets cold very quickly.
7. Auto Start stop will take some getting used to but I want to try it out for a month or so to see if it helps on gas.
8. I really like the moonroof with the cover all the way back it adds quite a bit of light to the inside of the car
9. Acceleration hesitation is def. there but not a big deal to me.
10. iDrive is quick and impressive it'll take a little while to get used to as there are a lot of options but the maps in the NAV are great. I can also confirm that this is NOT the new NAV i.e. new 7 series Dealer said EU models will get new NAV first.
11. I can fit golf clubs in the back with no seats down! Huge improvement over the clubman.
12. Last but not least the Midnight Blue is amazing in my opinion - LOVE IT!
Here is some pics - not very good but I just got home with it! Better pics soon. I'm planning on getting the windows tinted next week
