Hi guys, new to the forum! This is a FANTASTIC forum (from what I can tell) and I wanted to thank you all for all this wonderful information to search and read through!
That said, we are in LOVE with the X1. My wife and I have been saving and we are now ready to buy a pre-owned X1 in the Oregon/Washington area.
We've test driven and we know we definitely want the xDrive 35i. My wife commutes from Bend to Portland (over the mountain passes) where we have snow and ice much of the year. She's been driving a tired old 2001 Audi A4 Quattro which has been a fine little car, but it's getting long in the tooth.
So, we are trying to narrow our decision.. I wanted to know from you experts if we should lean strongly between the 2013, 2014 or (eep) 2015 model years? Is there anything really different between them?
We are seeing some X1's that have strange Options omissions that otherwise are low mileage, great looking (e.g. one has Technology, M Sports, Cold Weather Package but DOESN'T have Premium, or Driver's Assistance!). It feels strange to me to buy a vehicle of this quality level and not have a dimming mirror, or back up camera. I feel like I can live without these features, but I worry it could bite me on the resale if we decide to sell the car down the road..?
Here are two I am looking at now:
This black one is in fantastic condition, low miles, price is right.. but missing several options:

This orange one.. Mmmmm love the orange! Has all the options, but it's WAAAY up in Seattle, which is a bit of a pain and obviously the price is higher.

Anyway, thank you again for this fantastic resource, we hope to be PROUD
X1 owners soon!!!
