Yes and yes.
Brilliant. Thanks Wigwan. You’ve really got me thinking now. The X1 was towards the bottom of my shortlist due to it being a bit old tech and also because I would have been adding a lot of options. However, I’m now wondering if the standard X-Line spec would be sufficient?
I would have added Harman Kardon (£600), sliding rear seats (£350) and Technology Pack 2 (£1,250) which is Head Up Display, bigger sat nav & digital dash. Following feedback from you and others, the standard sound system is pretty good, the rear seat backs (only) may adjust slightly as standard (if the boot is a bit tight for the wheelchair). I’ve never had HUD so wouldn’t miss it, but have always had the higher end (bigger) multimedia systems in previous BMW’s. However, I think that the standard one in newer models is probably better than it was and certainly better than the dreadful one in our Tiguan. Also, I think I’ve just worked out that the digital dash upgrade in the X1 isn’t a full one and if the speed is displayed as a number as standard then that helps discount that.
So, I guess my final question (for now!) is this. What, if any, options would you (or any other X1 owners) say are well recommended, either because you are glad you opted for them or because you wish you had? Thanks in anticipation.
