What's your gripe with the tires? If BMW tests and OKs them for OEM performance, just how rotten can they be? This is an X1, not something trying to set NRing lap records. It's a grocery getter. |

The other thing could be the xDrive in the 35i being positioned differently and there is not enough space, where the 28i being a 4 allows the space. I just find it hard to believe they are going to stick with the 6hp for the rest of life on that model- every other model will be 8 speed by then.... I'll continue to ask and see what I get from AG.

In May when everybody takes the convertible out, you may see everyone stuck after a litle storm with snow. So in these conditions I can use their tires in June, July and August, September may be safe or not.... I have other cars as well, the "summer tires" are actually high performance all season. If Nokian will come up with new all-weather on RFT for 18" that's what I am gonna buy. So far though, the offer is absolutely ridiculous. Last edited by Teutonic; 04-04-2012 at 02:11 PM.. |

SamS, next winter I will invite you, especially when we hit -45 celsius. You will have fun.
bbg2D, x1 has on staggered wheels: FRONT 8J18 requires 225/45/18 REAR 9J18 requires 255/45/18 I am thinking to order 4 wheels in 8J18 to have access to a wider variety of tires. No fun... |

For the guy that says the Q5 competes with the X1. How about some facts and take the opinion out. Q5 4320 lbs and 182 inches long. X1 with xdrive 3725 lbs and 175 inches long. I looked up 4 Tiguans at the local dealer and they were $29k plus to $31k plus. The two A3's were both $32k plus with front wheel drive. I'm not a math major but I did stay at a Holiday Inn recently so I was wondering how a Q3 with all wheel drive will be in the 20's.

We only have the 28i in Canada, 35i is not available, there is only a 3500$ difference between X3 28i and X1 28i here.

Looks like we were half right. "The 28i models receive an 8 speed automatic transmission and the xDrive35i uses the older 6 speed auto transmission."

Yep. I think the take rate for the 28i will be >75%. When you start the x35i base at 40K and add some options, you're getting into X3 pricing territory. I think this as more of an entry-level product, that is more price sensitive, so the 28i will probably be rather popular.
