Mike's X1 23d Xdrive

Hey Guys

New to the forum, had a few cars in the past but the X1 is my first sort of grown up car.

Previous cars:
Mini 1275E
Renault Clio Sport 182
Smart Fortwo x2 (Vert & Coupe)
Fiat 500 1.2
Fiat 500 Abarth
Fiat Bravo 1.4T Jet Sport (140kw & Still Own It)

We ended up with the BMW after a frustrating few months with the Abarth, and being in SA I wanted to explore a bit more and taking the Bravo (or any of the other cars for that matter) down a dirt road was too much. Case in point, I love the scenic route:



So the car, a 2010 BMW X1 23d Xdrive Auto.





Had the wheels done in Anthracite, dipped the grills and got some black badges which look great in real life and awful in pics. I like the black look so going to get the grills, mirrors and X1 badge sprayed gloss black and maybe wrap the roof gloss black as well.

Performance wise I am sending it for mapping soon which should wake it up a bit. For now, well, I havent had it since last Wednesday as BMW has it sorting out some final warranty / plan issues before it expires.

Cant wait to get my car back, despite how "normal" it is compared to the Abarth or even Bravo, its downright excellent.

Mike
