Let's hope that they follow this same pattern with the X1.

Just to note - the plastics aren't good, but they're not too bad either. The one bit that I am very disappointed about (which we hadn't seen mentioned in any review!) is the edging on the parcel shelves which will be trashed very quickly - it really is poor and as they are bits that get a lot of 'use' will soon look tatty. The plastics won't ever see any use so whilst they are poor for BMW.....
