looooong 3 months ending soon
Hi all...
you guys are probably tired of these "soon I get my X1" post, but i`ll put one up anyway :P just 3 weeks left until i receive my brand new X1 here in Norway. Its an xDrive 18d. I Choose an 18d because everything is so damn expensive here. So therefore a smaller engine and more money to spend on extra equipment. Going to buy a Hartge tuner later on thus hopefully the snow will stay a couple of months longer here so I can test the xDrive some And this is the first time I have wished for a longer winter in my whole life anyway... here are some of the specs for my car...I`m psyched!! Black Sapphire 321 18" Rims Black Nevada Leather Automatic Gear Comfort Package Sport steering wheel with heating Roof Rails alum. Xline package Sun Protection glass Headlining Anthracite Electric Sport seats with memory servotronic Performance control Xenon home lights Harman Kardon usb-audio Navi Proff Park Distance Control with camera at the price of around 77' EUR !!!! thats enough |

I have the X Drive 1.8d SE X1 and you will find that the engine is a 2ltr just the same as the others, it's just lower BHP 141 but I find it's more than adequate. PS Wish the Servotronic was an option hear. |

Congratulations on your choice, some spec you have there. The last months wait is always the worst. Just for interest my X1 has been absolutely brilliant in the snow although I did put on Winter tyres.

hopefully i will be satisfied with the 18d. Hopefully it has enough power... if not, im gonna fix it some other way
Before I bought this vehicle i tried the 320 xDrive and the X1 20d xDrive. Must say that the 320 gave me a driving pleasure no other car has given me before. It was so fun playing in the snow. with most of the power on the rear, but everytime I was loosing it the xdrive just pushed me smoothly back on track. Too bad my gf thought the car was way too low. I tried to convince her many times, but no go there. But I think the X1 is a great replacement it was almost just as good driving... And I wanted my first bimmer, so the chooise was easy. Really looking forward taking it out in the snow for the first time I have read different things about the Harman Kardon sound system.. But really looking foward to hear it. Im 37 but never gets bored of loud trance music with plenty of bass... so lets hope I dont get dissapointed :P But as one said here... the last month is the hardest... I can feel it |

143 horse... Not a ground-ground missile, but way enough juice to overtake in most situations without sweating profusely.

Oh dear...
A friend of mine bought an Audi Q5 last summer and waited, as you, seven months for it... ... That's just way too long.. But as you say.. All the sweeter when you finally get it.. But I doubt I had managed to wait that long |

I got one of the first ones here in France back in January 2010, and it had been ordered the previous November... Barely 8 weeks to delivery.

Congratulations HelVan! I decided to choose the 20d and skip the proff navi instead (price) I bought a tom-tom for 240 EUR instead. OK no parking cam, true
I was also checking HARTGE. My dealer said for tuning vs warranty: "I have not heard that question". So maybe after the warranty expires, I'll do it. It is only 2 years (grrrrr) Will see the power. I will have the car soon. I actually have the car (at the dealer) + number plate (just have to be "printed") separately. Now we just have to put them together |

much of the reason why I chose the navi proff was the interior look. I think the interior looks better with the screen there instead of the glove compartment. and I also wanted the idrive controller... My gf had the option to choose one thing on that car..haha.. and she chose the parking cam :P not sure if I should be worried about that choice or not :P luckily BMW now offers a 5 year warranty in Norway.. that is truly great I checked with the importer of Hartge in Norway and he said that the warranty on the engine, transmission etc was not void after the installation of the Hartge tuning. He said that the tuner kit must be installed by a BMW certified workshop. Maybe thats why the price of the hartge is 2x-3x as much as an unofficial tunerkit/chip. Here in norway they have capped down the 140bhp to 136bhp due to high taxes. so after the Hartge tune i will get around 171bhp. but anyway... gotta "feel" my 18d a couple of weeks first. maybe it has enough power for me after all (thus i doubt it) |

I'll get it on Friday! After ordering it in November, it is not much more time to wait.
It really looks better with navi, but I heard it is easier to update the tom-toms. I also wanted the cam (as I'm a girl hehe) but it was not possible without navi. (I'll have the PDCs) At Toyota they have the pic of the cam in the rearview mirror... its quite handy if you don't have navi. 5 years? lucky you. in NL it is 2. What about the other countries? I only drove the 18d and it was so powerful... comparing to my 64 bhp Skoda how much is the tuning? Around 2000 EUR? Quote:

So did you go for the 2.0d or the 1.8d? I think you will find they have enough power without the upgrade. Don't know about the NL but here there are very few areas where you can use the power (speed) anyway.
