Release Date for Canada?

[e85sbm]

Does anyone know when the X1 will finally be released in Canada? I know the US will most likely be released at the same time (or sooner)

I heard rumours of the spring following the release of the re-designed X3.

Yes, that's what I understand too. I'm going to wait until Sept 2011 'tho and pick up any model year changes.

My wife saw it in Cape Town last week and approves. She especially likes the panorama roof.

Yes, don´t order without the panorama roof, yoy will regreat it...

That is, until the inner-roof seals disengage from their rails and hang lose into the cockpit.

Then you hate it.

NOOOOO! Say it isn't so.

Is this a common defect? What does BMW do to fix the problem? Is there a TSB for it?

Thanks.

Yep... Although was the only problem that arose after 10 months and 23 000 kms. And frankly between now and April, I doubt it will be an issue (Our Burgundy Dales just got hit by a snow storm... )

Anyway, can't tell you if it's a widespread issue, as there aren't that many
X1s on French roads. I've seen more X1s in The Cotswolds in a week than in France in a year..

The local BMW dealer recommended to slightly glue it, as these seals are supposed to be removed in order to vacuum-clean the outer-roof rails. Go figure.

Definitely very annoying in the Summer... Persol shades and Italian suits are not compatible with a piece of rubber hanging loose behind your head in the cab ...
