Thanks for your comments, much appreciated. Will post some photos soon.

Exotic Hadron · 07-04-2011, 05:23 AM

Congrats! BTW, what's the Sport tag? Is it kind of a locally assembled pre-configured version?

rob_378 · 07-04-2011, 10:36 AM

Thanks! Yes exactly. Its still assembled and brought over from Germany, but its specially made for this market with some items which are usually options included in the package.

But not long to go!

Cool

More, more

rob_378 · 07-19-2011, 05:19 AM

A few photos...

danintas · 07-19-2011, 04:51 PM

Very nice ... congrats on the car, and thanks for the photos .. I was in Hong Kong in May and spotted a few X1's

In fact I picked mine up on the day I returned to Australia

sunnywuh · 07-19-2011, 09:13 PM

Congrats Rob!

Nice really - black on black! Any plans of souping your X1 up?

rob_378 · 07-21-2011, 08:58 AM

THanks. As far as souping it up, maybe some different rims. There is a pretty cool looking black X1 on one of the threads with black rims... But thats probably about it. How about you?

sunnywuh · 07-21-2011, 10:13 PM

I have seen a white X1 here in HK with full AC body kits and rims and a grey X1 in 19' BM performance wheels. The rest I have been are all running stock rims. My plan is to change the rims and wheels. I and my wife have curbed the wheels for a few times now, so it's about time!

What brands do you have in time?

rob_378 · 07-23-2011, 12:44 PM

I like the ac-schnitzer type VI rims:

Any idea on price and where to get them? Also, can you put runflats on them? What wheels are you looking at getting?

sunnywuh · 07-24-2011, 09:53 AM

Have a look at this shop, I am sure you ll find rims up to your liking!

ohnoyuji · 07-24-2011, 08:04 PM

rob_378, can your radio display chinese mp3 title name?
It doesn't matter if its MP3CDs, USB stick, or iPod, the title is all 亂碼...
I've already tried to set the radio to "Japanese" but even japanese title with Katagana doesn't displayed either...
Could you take a quick pic?

rob_378 · 07-25-2011, 09:41 AM

Thanks Sunny, Awesome shop and thanks for the link.. im still looking through all the different types.

Ohnoyuji, i only have the basic sound system, so unfortunately i dont get any track titles on my display.

sunnywuh · 07-26-2011, 02:53 AM

Hey Rob, so what's yr call on the rims? Maybe we can go for a group buy! When do you plan to have the rims changed ?

rob_378 · 07-28-2011, 11:56 AM

Hi Sunny, im still undecided. I might have to scrape the rims a few times to convince my wife haha.. so i'll need a bit of time before i can change them.

How about you? Which ones are yo uthinking of getting?
Are you going to keep the run flats, or how will you manage without a spare?
