Saw my first double on the road
Bought my Midnight Blue sDrive late November 2012. I have seen an increasing number of other X1s since then, but it's still a fairly rare sight, even here in Los Angeles.
All the others I have seen have been other colors - black, white, gray, a couple oranges. Yesterday I finally saw my doppleganger ahead of me on the 405 through SFV. Couldn't catch up to wave or look for other details, as driver was, umm, going a little fast. I was going 70+ but I don't like to get ahead of traffic flow. One thing I noticed - it's important to keep the darker color cars clean. The other Midnight Blue X1 was a little dirty and didn't look great, at least from what I saw. I suppose if you have one of the more popular color X1s you've seen your share of "doubles." Took over a year for me to see my first! |

We've gotten in a terrible rut with silver cars after a red Honda (and a red Wrangler) that stayed looking clean for about 5 minutes in Westsylvania wintertime splash.
Now I just take the powerwasher to my bride's Audi and my Bimmer; it doesn't make 'em totally clean, but it gets most of it off. There was a midnight blue in the showroom when we were shopping (it was sharp), but I've done my best to go for practical colors the last while. Not such a big issue in the California sunshine...

Call me silly (and for you folks in more urban areas, perhaps it is silly), but having a car with the X1's rotten weather ability would seem to demand the Xenon lights...it's 'take me home, country road' here in Westsylvania, and the good lights are a Godsend.
