Soft Road Pictures - of my X1
Finally took it for a soft road spin after all the retrofits, phew!!!.
Real pain fixing the FRM, however now my Xenons, LED Tails and the Iphone cradle work as designed. |

Costs
Quote:
Then I got the Xenons and Tail lamps from ebay for Euro 600 including shipping to India. As the M-Trim bumper kit was too expensive to ship, I ordered it from Chennai BMW, the cost including painting and fitting was INR 175,000 (approximately Euro 2500). The ipod station was Euro 250 inclusive of shipping. As it was the first retrofit in India, I did not have to pay for the labor to recode the FRM3 unit, in fact they replaced the factory fitted one on warranty and did the VO. I also replaced the H8's with LUX LED's for about US 280 (Euro 220). As the BMW dealers NCS expert was not able to fix all the errors I used Autologic to fix the errors and use the corona rings as DRL's. The final cost was about Euro 40 K. (The same specification X1 sells in Germany for Euro 50 K). So I guess it wasn't bad. However if I had the money I woud have bought the F25 - X3 in a heart beat. In India the on the road price for the F25 is INR 5.3 million (approximately Euro 70,000) as they have to import the whole car from Spartanburg, South Carolina. So it has 100% import tax. The F25 M-Trim would be an additional Euro 3000. The X1 is built in Chennai, so no taxes apart from the sales tax, and registering it in Pondicherry will save you even that.!!! As there is no spare wheel, I also got the mobility kit for Euro 140 (electric luftkompressor, sealant, wheel torque wrench and gloves). Last edited by ecoveon; 01-01-2012 at 12:33 AM.. |

Hi ecoveon,
That xeon light setup is amazing, even I bought the corporate edition, and when requested for the upgrade the dealer said it cant be done. Any way, that's a awesome car there with M upgrade. Good Luck enjoy your car. One more thing, can you conform the warranty does not get void with upgrade, Regards Abhay |
