Yeah the price list can be deceptive. You really need to read the fine print. We all know BMW overcharges; they probably are listing it that way to make the overcharging less obvious.
Thanks for that, its the torque of the 2.0d that impresses and together with the other performances figures quoted above show the huge jump in my opinion between the 1.8i and the 2.0d. I have said this before, I am a real petrolhead but this is the first "small" diesel I am prepared to lay out my cash for.

actually the max torques are:

sDrive18d - 320/1750-2500
xDrive18d - 320/1750-2500
sDrive20d - 350/1750-3000
xDrive20d - 350/1750-3000
xDrive23d - 400/2000-2250

not a huge difference between 18d and 20d...

Of course in the UK the 18 version is diesel not petrol like in Oz....

I was commenting on the difference between the 1.8 petrol and the 2.0 diesel in Oz. Big difference in performance between the two engines. All engines in the UK are 2 litre diesels with different outputs to make up the 1.8/2.0/2.3 range. I have driven all variants here in the UK and to be fair the difference between the 1.8d and the 2.0d is not huge but then the price difference is not that great either. A fair jump in performance and even bigger in price up to the 2.3d though.

In my opinion the best buy here is the SDrive 2.0d. I just need the 4x4 bit occasionally so I have opted for the XDrive 2.0d.

PS: By "here" I mean in the UK.

Yep thats why I went with the sDrive2.0d. For me, it was the best value for money, considering fuel efficiency. I'm only planning to use my X1 as an everyday car, and have never been or needed or plan to go offroading, so that's why I didnt go for the xDrive option. I'm not big on the best performing car, so don't need the more powerful engines

In Aus too, the fuel effienciency difference between sDrive18i and s/xDrive20d allows deduction of the luxury car tax and potentially 30% saving on accessories too, so I think the s/xDrive20d are the best value for money, if that's what you are after.

Yep, and in Oz I would think fuel efficiency would be important as the distances are huge. 70% of my driving is in the city and the rest is all over Scotland. I drive almost daily but still hardly do more than 5000 miles per year. Fuel consumption therefore is not too important to me, now torque for going up mountains.....O, who am I fooling, hills really....

BMW advised me that sales of the colour Tasman Green have been rather unpopular so the chance of being able to fill an order for a 2011 make will be slim to none as the colour is most likely to be deleted from the palette (sad face). Have to fall in love with another colour now. Quote from BMW salesman "Why would you choose metallic green? They have the worst resale value." Ahh because I love the colour...

I really liked that colour as well. Looks good with the XLine package. Your dealer is right, its been dropped from build week 35. There is a new metallic white but I have not seen it yet.

The 18i is available in Australia now. I test drove the 18i against the 20d and the difference was huge. The 18i is not as swift as I was hoping - burgeoning on a somewhat lethargic performance, the engine is too asthmatic for my preference. On the otherhand the 20d was fantastic. This was the first diesel I have driven and it was by far a better drive than the small petrol. We crunched the numbers and the difference in price is minimal so I'm opting for the sdrive20d. Waiting to see what this metallic white looks like in the metal since the Tasman is being deleted. If its anything like the Lexus metallic white then I think it'll be the winner for me. Ordering in Feb 2011 now, not March (yay for me!)

There is a Mineral White on the BMW 7-series Individual broschure. Still looking for a picture of an actual car with this paint option. Looks to be slightly silvery but difficult to say.
