My 2.0d is finally here (waited 16 weeks)

OliNZ · 12-04-2010, 03:12 PM

After weeks of agonising wait, she's finally arrived and here are some pics

This baby handles better than my old Audi A4 despite the higher body, this my first ever diesel car and it does take a wee while to get used to the different engine characteristic.

I've noticed the MY 2011 x1's interior has some minor changes :
THE GOOD
The door panels are now more posh with better contours
THE BAD
But the steering wheel has no thumb rest anymore

THE UGLY
got hit by a backing truck! Now I have a dent the size of a coffee cup..

No, Factory tint costs NZ$750 with just the rear windows tinted, for $500 i can have both the front and back done aftermarket (35% front, 20% rear).

Thanks mate, took me till the very very last minute to decide on these blade style wheels, i was going to go for the 322 type wheels but i reckon silver on silver looked just a tad boring.

Oli, is yours an xDrive? I've noticed you have paddles - were these standard?
