trek8000 · 10-02-2012, 09:52 PM

Age 54 and my very first BMW .... an X1 35i and I LOVE IT! Alpine White with Black Leather interior. Am so glad I finally got one!

I'm an accidental x1 buyer (23d)
story goes went to buy a Alfa 159 wagon (you have to admit this is a gorgeous car) but I'm to big for it (I'm 6'1, 85kg) so not really big but just couldn't get it set up right for me... so wondered around and drove a whole lot of different cars and thought i would take the x1 for a spin as it was next in line ... glad i did .. runs better then expected and if I get a performance upgrade (chip) then better again.

I'm 63 and took delivery 2 weeks ago of a mineral grey xDrive 2.8i. Traded in my 2003 M-Sport 540i. I miss it, but I love my new X1.

32 and my first ever BMW.... a Dream come true <3

35. Trading in the x5 as wife won't drive it due to it's size. 3rd BMW overall.

prosgal73 · 12-18-2012, 12:35 AM

39 about to pull the trigger but was worried that the X1 was a bit 'young' for me but loving this post. thanks for putting my mind at ease

Bmwdriver22 · 12-18-2012, 01:07 AM

23 and just bought mine a few weeks ago. Even though I'm coming from an m5 I still find this car very enjoyable

nospam · 12-18-2012, 02:21 AM

38 and 1st baby on the way. This will be BMW #5 for me not counting my parents (my mom started things off with an E36, she has an F30 328i now). Wife wanted X3 over the X1 but didn't want to get rid of her 128i. Sold my 335i and ordered the X1 x28i M Sport (and got to keep my S2000). Compromise!

Wife refuses to even consider minivan. I think I will keep her.

waelspain · 12-18-2012, 07:07 AM

I'm 34 years old, coming from 118d

NEX1owner · 12-18-2012, 07:12 AM

I'm 57 and told I look a lot younger

. Don't feel or act that old but I just retired and have had the X1 for 2 weeks. We have an 09 328xi coupe with a manual trans for fun drives and the wife has an 09 Smart Convertible. I ride a Chopper I built. The X1 replaced an 09 Silverado

lynyrdskynyrd803 · 12-18-2012, 11:18 AM

Tabbulous · 12-27-2012, 04:39 PM

I'm 35.

miataken · 12-28-2012, 02:58 AM

39, after 14 years with a Miata. Trying to be more practical and responsible. Still can't park it right in 1 try... but has been enjoying going (and buying) to Costco like never before.

HBWT · 12-28-2012, 10:39 AM

54 and been driving BMW since 1974. Started with best friend's Black 2002tii. This X1 is my 10th BMW.

drp90210 · 01-08-2013, 01:36 AM

55 here. Don't know why they are marketing the X1 as a young person's car. I live in LA and many people are tired of big, lumbering vehicles. The X1 demographic in other countries is pretty broad, I understand.

jtilley7 · 01-08-2013, 06:33 PM

25. Big upgrade from the Honda accord, I love it. Would have liked to get the 35 with M package, maybe next time.

Anguslamb · 01-09-2013, 06:25 AM

40. Changed from a 2-dr Scirocco coz of baby... Just ordered and dying for the delivery! 🎊

metataco · 01-10-2013, 02:31 PM

47, after 9 years with an Accord EX. (Had a BMW 2002 years and years ago, loved it even though it was hell to maintain).
