X1 spec and diesel engines & titanium silver with red/brown leather pic request

Hi,
Anyone tested the 2.0 and 2.3 diesel engines for an extended period? Is it a case of getting the most powerful, or is the 2.0 a sweeter engine? I heard the 2.3 in the 1 series can be a bit gruff? Ideally I would like to try both myself but wondering what the opinion of others is.

Currently speccing up a new X1, first ever new car for me. Want to get the spec exactly right as this needs to be a long term car. Before deciding on the X1 I looked at non-BMW options(including Daihatus Terios) and BMW options (including the 1/3 series). As I'm quite active I think the X1 xDrive will suit me very well and enhance my lifestyle and I'll be better prepped for anymore harsh winters

Was looking at white but found the titanium silver/redbrown leather is grabbing my attention with the 319 wheels.ANyone have pics of this combo?

Any options worth avoiding/definately worth having in this type of car ?
Are the standard 17" tyres all-season? ANy good in snow?
