We just purchased our second BMW X1, just a few weeks after we received our first X1 which was a special order M Sport version. Both are in mineral white (which we love). The first M Sport, which I posted several photos previously, has every possible option and took 3 months to arrive. The second X1 does not have sport option or as much equipment (though it's almost fully equipped) but it is also the same color. Surprisingly, I like the standard 17" wheels and tires (Good Year LSI) a lot on the 2nd X1, because it rides much smoother and softer than the M Sport which has 18" Good Year Efficient Dynamics. Other than that, the two are very similar and the sport suspension on the M Sport does give it a more character but at the expense of harsher ride. We will have to get some photos with both cars soon! (top photo is M Sport, bottom photo is the second X1)

Nice.. but why two the exact same? I'm a fan of the mineral white as well. Too bad they don't offer it on the X5 with red leather.

One is my car and the other is our company car. Both are great but the M sport with sport suspension and 19" is quite a bit firmer. I also have the Harmon Kardon upgrade on M sport but not on the regular version - the difference is noticeable but the standard X1 stereo with professional system is actually quite good already.

OK I will upload later on. But North American X1 M Sport does not have alcantara headliner, only black cloth headliner. The aluminum trim is standard but I paid extra to get dark wood trim, which I live very much. I think in the fall you can also order the light wave wood trim.

Anthracite headliner is not avail for North American market at least for 2012 model year. Mine has simple black cloth headliner but it's not anthracite. I am not sure about 2013 model year.
