Back to the X1, it is tiny on that picture next to the X5.

You think? I actually thought it looked bigger than I expected.

My neighbors got one was not keen on it at first, but now growing on me. might try and take a pic next to mine

I really liked some of the press shots, but when I first saw one in the showroom I thought it was awful.

Then a mate got one (space grey damn him - thats what I wanted!), I really warmed to it. I'm still so so on the looks - I think the front end looks a bit odd, but hopefully as with all BMW's It'll grow on me even more. The wheels do make a big difference though - I really dislike any of the other wheels you can get for it.

I was the other way around - hated it in the brochure, but saw one in the flesh and actually liked it.

Boot was a bit too small for the size of the car though I thought.

Definitely agree with that - the boot looks pretty small - in fact my 1er coupe seems to have a bigger boot!

Can see the rear seats needing to be put down quite a bit.

Nice colour combo

Thanks mate.

Went for the 20d as its the same engine I've got in the 1 coupe and I've been very happy with it. Not drove it in X1 guise yet (I test drove an s18d) but know it will be fine.

So where are the pics then?

Well I was due to collect at 6pm but couldn't wait, so just got back after a lunchtime handover.

Not the best pics as its ruddy sunny for once in Sheffield ( ) but here goes for now!













And as a comparison against my old X5, it does look small altho not the exact same angle



First impressions are good - the build quality seems better than my last one, and the performance is good. And my god I've missed cruise!!!

The USB/Ipod adpater is in a stupid place though - very annoying (used to be hidden under the armrest in my 1 series)

Sheffield and not flooded, whatever next

That looks nice, I like the red leather as well. So - keeping this one for a couple of months until the new X3 comes out?

I've actually already specc'd one up!

I really like the leather - its called red/brown and is like a reddish tan colour. Was a little unsure it would work but it does.

Looks good

Very nice, enjoy
