Post Pictures of your F48 X1

ttimbo · 04-13-2016, 05:13 PM

Compared with the X1, the X3 is 60mm wider in exterior width, but only 5mm wider in rear interior width. Also more headroom in the X1

PF1 · 04-13-2016, 07:17 PM

Yeah the more sloped roof makes the X1 look as wide as the X3 from the rear. The X3 overall looks bigger, mainly from the extra height I think. X1 must be making better use of the available space because I don't see why they would need it any higher with the more-than-ample headroom already.

argh, this is killing me. Still sitting somewhere west of Africa. This will take forever! I fear you were right ttimbo - stalking it doesn't help at all.

How long did your dealers take to get the car ready for you after the shipped docked in?

Very nice with mperformance

Ours was unloaded on 13 March, and delivered on 31st...with Easter in between....so maybe 10 work days.

Changed the front fog globes last night to 8700K ones. Makes a big difference in looks. Not an exact match, still a fraction less white than the LEDs, but then the LED lights are almost bluish-white.

Also coded the fog lights to function as additional cornering lights. Haven't been able to code them as welcome lights though.

how hard was it? did you do it yourself?

Not sure if you mean installing the bulbs or the coding so I'll answer for both.

Bulb replacement instructions are in the manual but it didn't look intuitive at first. So took me a while to figure out how to remove it but once I did, the second one was easy enough.

The coding I did myself also, along with many other things I've coded now. Again took some learning and playing with the software but after 2 days I'm already quite confident with it.

Spotted this good looking X1 in Abbotsford today

Looks great. What brand of bulb did you end up using?

Also I thought the car already had cornering lights of some sort? Is this just in addition to the ones already programmed?

Just checked the box - Gread 8500K Superwhite H8. Think they came from Germany. There was about brand more commonly used but shipping was a lot more. These were about $25 AUD shipped.

Yeah there are already cornering lights - you can see the light in the inner corner light up, directed outwards. So these are in addition to those.

No as the bulb isn't an LED, just a normal filament bulb with a whiter output.

Yeah much like that one but I got a different brand. The GP Thunder ones are pretty common and come in 7500K (?) as well I think which is less blue but may be more durable.

H8, 12V, 35W
