New to BMW, dropping off my VW lease at the end of March for an X1 x28i. Does anyone have a dealer/salesperson recommendation on Long Island?

Finally picked up my wheels and coilovers tonight.....wish it was spring so I could get on with installation!
Wheels are Work VS-XX. "Porsche Gold" centers with polished lips. 19x9 et26 fronts, 19x10.5 et29 rears.
Crappy pics of one wheel (one of the rears) taken with the phone before it got dark out :-

Got lip?

KW V1's appear to use a regular E9x damper body with an external sleeve to increase from 52mm to 57mm OD. Will have to check the spring numbers to see if the X1 specific items are different from the E9x xDrive ones.

Did a bit of cross referencing between mine and the wife's coilover setups:-

I want to order a X1 and when I order it and it comes in do I have to pick it up right away or can a wait a while.

Nice one~

I am new here

I ordered my x1 sdrive in about three weeks ago. Seems like taking forever for the car to arrive..

Even though I've already ordered the performance grilles, I decided to have a friend wrap the outer (chrome) ring of the stock grilles in brushed black. Really happy with the way it turned out and will likely keep them this way
