They need to take note of other brands that offer sunroof and heated seats in SUVs as STANDARD. and really? $900 for bluetooth? the technology is not that expensive anymore...

BT is standard. BMW assist is not. Previously HK was offered as stand-alone but 6/1 package/pricing changes happened.

The X1 is using the M wheel from the M-Sport E90 which had no heat. X1 is built on an E chassis vs an F like the X3 so it's still using older parts, like the wheel.

Not surprised no heated wheel option on the M-Sport

i remember reading that the X1 shared a chassis with the F31, which I thought wasn't right

didn't notice the lack of 704 on the sport line. that's silly but okay. why can't we get oyster leather on the m-sport?

You won't. The M Sport line begins with 2013 F30, which starts production in July.

1900 for X line for the privilege of spending another 1450 on terra leather where I really want the sport (for wheels and seats- also not worth it) because the M sport has that superphat wheel most love but I loathe. All that to avoid pleather where I'd be completely fine with a nice quality cloth like they get in Europe. Personally I refuse to overspend for a car I can't even get how I want- its all very very annoying to me. Had they brought the option of a manual OR a diesel I might be a bit more willing to compromise on the details. But they didn't and I'm put off at their new extortion methods to the point I may not come back to the brand.

Yep, the coral red is awesome. I'd prefer saddle brown, but at least there's an option other than beige and black. Does anyone know what the curb weight will be? I'd probably only consider an F31, but it's interesting to see the X1 specs.

[E46M54325Ci]

Curb weight is low- 3527lbs for the sDrive 28i, 3726 for xDrive 28i and 3891 for the xDrive 35i


and yea, saddle would be nice. so would oyster with sport and sport but oh well.

Everybody who is displeased with the lack of a manual option, please call or email BMW! If they get enough demand, they will bring one here!

Why? SCOTT is right here.

Secondly, they have manuals in Europe (derp!), but BMW has stated, that the North America market is not as worthy as Europeans. So, these constant slaps in the face by BMW allow it's competitors to enter our FOV and sway us elsewhere. It seems their marketing depertment is loosing sales for BMW, not gaining them, since it is rather apparent that BMW's market depertment cannot get it right.

It is laughable, as BMW's North American metrics are so skewed by pseudo-marketing and bundling of options... that BMW is loosing sales because they do not understand me & my fellow Statesmen...


No manual... no sale...!

[BassBoomBottom]

I don't understand why they don't offer you guys the manual, are yours not built in Germany still? if so what difference does it make if you want a manual?

[E46M54325Ci]

^ I think the X1 is actually going to be built in the US- or I remember reading that somewhere

[E46M54325Ci]

edit: I MUST be wrong- they must be made in DE, given that they are available for ED. that's great news. a loaded 28i sDrive is only $45k sticker, that means an ED invoice of about $39500-40000. that's awesome for a lease. I'm even more interested. BMW GIVE US A STICK!
