White X1 with X-line???
Hello,
I just ordered X1 sdrive 18i in "white". I also got a X-line package(including Alu roof rail). However, I'm thinking to cancel the X-line package for most of the white X1 are without X-line or alu roof rail. Why is that? Does white X1 really look weird or cheap with Xline package? Should I save money to get audio upgraded? Thank you for your opinion in advance. Best Lin Ps. I attached an image showing white X1 with or without Xline |

I like the X-Line package and would get it with any color. I think it adds a lot to the look.
What options did you get? Are you getting the base audio?

I think the X-line and rails should be a standard feature of the X1. I think it looks weird without the roof rails. Here's a photo of mine.
I have the Satnav business with professional radio and the sound quality is ok for me. |

Thank you for your reply. Mine X1 18i was really basic with "radio BMW professional" at first. After carefully consideration, I added glass roof,sports seat, i-drive, X-line package for now.However, I am thinking getting a audio system upgraded with Harman Kadon. If most of the people think x-line doesn't fit white X1, to save money, I would cancel x-line and go for Harman Kadon audio system. Because BMW and all its optionals are much more expensive in Taiwan than anywhere, I have to give up one of it unfortunately. I'm so confused now. |

Thank you. I did some research online, and most people have same opinion on X1 basic audio system. However, I don't have chance to compare basic audio with Harman Kardon and that's why I couldn't make up my mind so far. Anyway, thank you.

Here's my $.02 on audio systems.....
On both of my BMW's, the radio is rarely on while I'm driving. If you're an audiophile, spend the extra $$$ for the upgraded sound system. If you're a driving enthusiast, it doesn't matter what sound system you have.

...and now that I know what the x-line package is, personally, I don't think it adds anything to the look of the X1 and probably detracts from it. Keep in mind, this is an SAV and should look like one and not like a prissy little thing dancing in the woods.
But to each their own, beauty is in the eye of the beholder....

I like some contrast on the car. Dark colors with x-line and silver like rims make that possible, on the lighter colors I prefer the black/dark strips/rims. I ordered a Marakesh braun with X-line and 322 rims, for white I should go the black/dark lining. But as written earlier in this chain, personal preference counts.
As a matter of fact, more pictures of an x-lined White can be found at http://www.autoweek.nl/autoreview/25...e23d-Executive (in dutch) |
