New X1 ordered!
Finally after lurking around the forums and comparing cars we decided and went ahead for the X1 ordered the car today at Sytner in Sunningdale (UK).
Here's what I went for: F48 X1 xDrive20d xLine B47 2.0d Platinum Silver Black Dakota leather w/ perforation Driver Comfort Package BMW Navigation Plus package Automatic Gearbox Electronic Damper Control (EDC) Run-flat tyres Reversing Assist Camera Sport seats, front Lumbar support, driver and front pass. Sliding rear seat bench Brushed aluminium interior trim with Pearl crhome finisher Driving Assistant was undecided between Mineral Gray and Platinum Silver but wife prefers Platinum and I love them both so... I'm looking forward to how it fits with the aluminum trim Managed to squeeze in the Nav Plus package, I heard too many good things about the HUD display to not have it had to cut off the Driving Assistant Plus because of budget, but I still managed to get a decent deal. Dealer said we should be looking at week 16, but they'll try to get another build slot to deliver before end of March. Will keep you posted. Can't wait to join the family! |

Went for the 18" Y-spoke 569 - they're the standard ones. Read about they're a bit stiffier (can't remember if the one I test-drove was run flat or not) but for me the practicality is still a bigger advantage. Hoping though with the EDC I can still get a ride on the smooth side...

Congrats
Aluminium is lovely, the only reason i didn't spec it is that 5 of our recent cars had black leather with aluminium so wanted something different this time...

It's my first premium car, I'd have loved lighter seats but with little one on the way I'm quite sure it would be tougher with a light colour. This is why I'm very happy to have got also Supagard protection |

Interested to hear what you think of the ride once you get the car. |

Congrats, fellow Platinum Silver owner. It's poor man's Champagne Quartz. I'm biased, obviously. But I think it's the best looking and most unique colour in their F48 range.
Wanted to go with black interior too. But dealer had a 2 Series with Platinum Silver + Oyster and that sealed the deal for me. |

Here is the detail from the UK configurator tool:
Electronic Damper Control (EDC) £ 390.00 Electronic damper control allows the driver to change the damper characteristics to two different settings, for an exceptionally smooth ride or increased driving dynamics. Along with the standard COMFORT setting, which provides a serene and pleasant driving experience, the SPORT setting is also available. When it is selected, the damper settings are firmer and the driving characteristics are more direct and dynamic. The settings are activated with the Driving Experience Control switch in the centre console. Benefits at a glance: • dynamic or comfortable driving at the push of a button • optimal vibration characteristics, based on the load • reduction in unpleasant pitching motions

What BMW Genius told you is correct for US vehicles. EDC (adaptive suspension) is available in other countries but not the US.

I noticed it's not anymore in the configurator but the dealer said it had to be included... is it worth asking?

It will be added to cars ordered from March onwards, but the base price of the X1 will be increased to compensate by £160. If you want it on a car ordered before then BMW are offering it at £160, so you basically save £30 on it. I added it to my order as I had initially left it off...

So, no EDC (adaptive) even for M Sport package cars? That's an odd restriction.

This is the exact email response from the BMW genius dealing with my order
"You will be happy to know that by adding this the deposit only goes up by £160 as they are adding this as standard from cars built after March. They are only increasing the price by £160 so this has saved you £35." Might be worth querying it with your dealer, I ordered my car about two weeks ago and added this option around a week ago.
