What is the colour of your X1?

mario486 · 03-12-2011, 04:28 PM

As the title says, what colour have you gone for?

I did not actually choose mine, my wife did and went for the Titanium Silver.

She nicked my Mini so bought me the X1 in return

mario486 · 03-12-2011, 04:35 PM

I have used the UK designation for the colours. They may be something else in the country you live in. Colour stays the same, name just differs.

Le Mans Blue in the UK is only available on the M-Sport version.

aris · 03-13-2011, 03:42 AM

good thread

Alpine White

jmtm · 03-13-2011, 03:43 AM

For me it will be black sapphire with M sport package, and i think that Le Mans Blue is only available with the M sport package everywhere and not only in the UK.

jag1 · 03-13-2011, 05:46 AM

Alpine white here.

Kres7787 · 03-13-2011, 06:25 AM

Nicely balanced so far. I voted JB even though my order still wasn't made. Next week!

White in the lead!

danintas · 03-13-2011, 05:12 PM

Cashmere Silver on order .... hopefully here early next month!

nathan35 · 03-13-2011, 06:12 PM

titanium silver.

Though I must say I reaally like the marrakesh brown

Gatekeeper · 03-14-2011, 04:48 AM

Marrakesh Brown, although just as Mario I didn't get to pick the colour (nor anything else on the car actually!

)

I just get to drive it once in awhile...

Had it been my car, I would have gone for Space Gray.

, black inside, no roof rails, no X-line package, S20d auto with rear tinted windows.

BMWDave · 03-14-2011, 05:21 AM

The cars I've owned have been white, red, white, blue, white, blue, blue and for me, the only colour for the X1 is Black. Couldn't justify metallic paint after all the other options I ticked so Jet Black it was!

Amen.

dmunozj · 03-15-2011, 04:48 PM

Mine Vermillon Red, since there's only a couple more running in the whole country: Colombia

jumi · 03-16-2011, 04:56 AM

Mine is Mineral White Metallic. The best one in my opinion (choosing the right extras). No comparision with Alpine White.

Hi Jumi, have you posted any pics yet? Would love to see the Mineral White.

jumi · 03-16-2011, 11:19 AM

Hi, Not yet as now is not Mineral White but Mud Brown... as soon as I clean it I´ll post some pics.

Cheers from Spain

Blofelds_cat · 03-16-2011, 01:39 PM

Sounds funny but I've ordered Space gray, dealer substituted it with Graphite blue, i did not like it and had to change to available Vermillion red. Now I hope I will pick up it from dealer and nor Cashemere silver or Marrakesh brown

Another month to go, arrrggggghhhh )))

bacchaebabe · 03-17-2011, 02:33 AM

Titanium Silver arriving in May. Black leather interior.

Hey same as mine, congratulations. Its a nice combo but then I am biased

manicm · 03-17-2011, 01:53 PM

So White and Black are in the majority. That's interesting. If I were in a colder climate I defintely would have chosen a blue or Marrakesh Brown - the latter is really classy in the flesh.

My car's still in customs, then to the local factory, then to the showroom = weeks

I was hoping to drive it to the TopGear show this weekend

Super dooper · 03-28-2011, 01:50 PM

ordered black sapphire!

Hi Dave,

You've obviouslly gone in for a few blue cars before. what do you think of the X1 in LMBlue? I was so close to getting one, but I've never seen LMB in the realworld. Would the colour suit sedan type cars better do you think?

I love love love LMB, it's stunning in the flesh. Was the perfect colour for my 135i but I wouldn't have ordered it for my X1. Just too much of it I think. Think it works better on coupes and sedans rather than wagons/SAV/SUV. Of course that's my opinion but I think the colour itself is awesome.
