Just changed the M sport 1`er

Hi...
My first post..
I got to show you..
Just changed my great never missed a beat m sport 1`er (apart from 3 DTC ABS At £1800 a pop but done under warranty and one via good will)

For this






19" alloys/bluetooth/heated seats/comfort pack/etc..
Getting use to the more softer ride from the old m sport 1`er..Have noticed more road and engine noise in the cabin again compared to the 1`er..
Iam so happy with its looks, my mate commented: "looks like your old car on steriods!!"

Dude take some clear shots and upload, you seem to have interesting styling things to see on your ride such us the black rims and muflaps.

Nice car by the way!

Hi Ady welcome here and congratulations on the switch, how do they compare?

Interesting choice of rims, are they not a wee bit hard.

Hi All...
sorry about the pics..a try and do better photos this weekend..
The ride is not too bad with the 19" alloys but does have a very slight tram line on very bad roads which is typical for stiff RF tyres. Had the same problem from new on my 1`er which the wife (thank god!!) refused to drive as the ride was so stiff and it tram-lined everwhere, so had to replace all with non rft conti`s at £600 plus a m tec punture kit on a 2 week old car!!
Compairing the X1 to the 1 series M sport Is the slight build quailty, I might be fussy like the plastic cover around the washer jets and the design of the jets, the engine noise in the cabin.Also find the arm rest is to low (like the seat high) which fouls the handbrake if pushed forward.The Rest button on the climate control been changed to all so you have to keep the engine running when parked for heat..(there is a parked option but just blows cold air) The design surrounding the gear lever.The parking sensors start so late compaired to the 1`er..
I do miss the way the 1`er handled in the twisty bits, I find X1 feels a bit loose and not as tight but its a heavy and taller car without the m sport kit but I`am not complaining as the ride is much forgiving with less back problems from the stiff ride!!This x1 has plenty of space, better mpg, and its so much quicker, and in the looks deptment what more can I say
