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 would definitely choose audio upgrade over X-Line. Basic audio system really sucks!!

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.

Thank you for your pic, yohans. It helps a lot for it's not that easy to get clear image of white X1 with Xline pack and alu foof rail. Do you mind posting more pics of your pretty X1? Thank you.

Ps. For your reference, the white X1 comes with black roof rail for free.

I don't have many pictures of my X1 and my car needs a good wash and polish before I take any new ones

Why don't you look in the thread which is stickied at the top of this forum

Thank you, Yohans. It's ok, really appreciate it. I did check that thread and all other threads here, but didn't find any pic of white X1 with X-line pack like yours. And that's also the reason why I'm so hesitated now. Besides, all the white X1 official pics by BMW are without x-line. That hesitates me too.

It's really annoying for looks is too important. I don't wanna have any regrets afterwards. Thank you though.

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....

Went through all these discussion and opinions from here and my friends, your point about "beauty" is also my conclusion. I'll upgrade my audio for sure. As to X-line, I'll think about it and make up my mind later. Thank you.

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)

Thank you. The website above is really really helpful. I have same feeling about contrast as you, and that's why I'm so hesitant. No matter what, I'll upgrade audio definitly and check that website carefully. Thank you my friend.
