headlights - non xenon
Hi guys,
Just put up a new topic as I had a few questions in relation to my newly ordered BMW X1 20D sdrive version. I had some trouble to get the xenons on my ordered BMW X1 as apparently I was too late in the ordering process, so mine will be delivered without the xenons. Now I don't care whether I have xenons or not as usually I will be the driving the car - and I don't see my own headlights. But what I am interested to know is what is the actual look at night of a non xenon car (are the taillights also different?). Does anyone know a link where I can admire the one I am gonna receive soon? Just for your information, here's the set up I ordered: BMW X1 20D 177BHP sDrive -Comfort pack + Parking assistance front and Rear + Sport style steering wheel + 18 inch Style 322 with runflats -X-line pack -Nav pack + Internet onboard Electric rearview mirrors Basically I got all the nice stuff except leather and the xenons (which I did try to add, but was unable to) Million thanks and love your posts guys |

Xenon cars also have the "cats-eye" (some call them angel eyes) daytime running lights. If its a big thing for you why don't you just cancel the order and then re-order. The BMW sales guy here in the UK did it for me at no charge so that I could get a MY11 one. Did delay my order by about 4 weeks but I was in no hurry. What colour did you go for anyway?

Hi mario,
Thanks for you answer! Basically i have only seen pictures of xenon light packages. So i have seen The two bars on the rear taillights and the cat eyes in front. But i was just wondering if i will be ending up with something very different compared to the xenon packages. As for the cancelling and re ordering I was too late. Basically ordered end of august - indications were delivery date end of january 2011. Half october i basically came to the conclusion 90 percent of the x1 owners have taken xenons. I went to my dealer to add it, but apparently BMW doesnt bother to add them and will supply me my car 2 months in advanced, meaning in 3 weeks. Took the car in spacegrau as we liked the neutral colour - you dont see it very much on the X1 around on the streets. And I thought it will be a better color to resist to trends. Cheers |

Space grey is a lovely colour by the way and the 2.0D is an amazing engine. Have a look at pwceg and kumiorava's Space Grey X1's here http://e84.xbimmers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=430038
