Picked up my new X1 last night

Just picked up my new X1 last night! I ordered through the Military Sales program, so it was a bit of an odd experience as my dealer had only ever done one of these before, but they were very helpful and got everything squared away for me.

I snapped a quick picture last night in the garage (with my wife's '08 C30 lurking in the background).

The first step for me is to find a good front plate holder that isn't going to require drilling holes. I've seen a few that mount underneath and wraparound, but just heard about the type that mounts on the front towhook. Not sure I care for the off-center look though...

Nice! I love the C30, it's a great car. Unfortunate that it got cut from their lineup, but I'm glad we have one. My wife plans to drive it until it dies.

I've got an X1 on order thru Military Sales. A bit disappointed with the small discount (compared to the 3 series) but I assume the margin is tighter with the small SAV market.

Another fan of the C30 R, loved the P1800ES....

Yeah, it wasn't a massive discount like some of them, but it was a good price and no haggling.

Just did a 500 mile drive last night and it drives great. Unfortunately the road was very smooth and it was 1 am so I already got my first speeding ticket in it.
