It was pinned as a child and, thanks to a brilliant surgeon, has lasted. One hip they managed to replace but is ‘at risk’ but the other cannot be done due to the condition. I have a genetic defect by where my joints did not form as they should. Macca, sounds like we have similar pain from different conditions. My seats are the old ones then so I’d better try the revised ones. The IDrive screen shows them as LED so fingers crossed it was a teaser. I have LED rear lights but the indicator/brakes are 19th century bulbs. Oh and not sure but I truly hope the indicator/brake lights are LED now. I won’t be happy about adding £1,000 for electric seats but they are a must and it is likely to sway my decision. My hope is that the XLine stays within my AP budget as it’s a lovely car. Whilst Apple CarPlay is free for most manufacturers, BMW charge for it. Something worth noting if you a keen techie. I also paid for the LED headlights but they are std on the XLine. I paid about £650 for the electric seats but now they are only selling then as a pack. I’m due to change later this year and the X1 remains in my top three. It’s true there isn’t much side support but I drive it like an SUV and not a rally car! □ ![]() I have chronic joint pain, especially in the lower back, sacroiliac joint area, and one leg is much shorter than the other. I’ve been with it over two years now and have always found the std seats fine. It’s an 18d SE with electric seats and a few other bits added and can’t sing it’s praises enough. We’ve always dismissed it, yet now we at least have an interest. So when its available we’ll have it out and see what we make of it. That said, what we saw was enough to encourage us to want to take it out, and the dealer has an XLine demo which we can have all day. Shame that the dark headlining isn’t available even as an option on the XLine. I was surprised to see that electrically adjustable seats with memory are an expensive option, and in fact lumbar supports for the seats are an option too!!Īdaptive cruise comes in a pack too although it was £250 less than the Volvo equivalent pack. Good that the pano sunroof is an option that i wouldn’t have to pay for. Having had a good read of the spec sheet, its no surprise that, some things that I might be interested in have to be bought in a pack with other things that I wouldn’t particularly choose. ![]() We liked the BMW fit and finish, and were surprised to see a CD player of all things in the car. We found the seats very comfortable even given our difference in height. ![]() We were able to try an XLine in the showroom, and I have to say our old opinions on the X1 were completely changed. Today i thought sod it, lets go have a look, can’t do any harm. When we got into it way back then the seats were immediately uncomfortable and it probably tainted our view. We checked it out about 3 and a half years ago and hated it. So as the head scratching on a possible replacement car continues we decided to go check out the BMW X1.
