'15 X1 with M-Sport Package

Just took delivery of my '15 X1:
  • Canadian-specs, but I'm driving it in Germany
  • Mineral Grey Metallic
  • Black Nevada Leather
  • M Sport Package
  • 18" 355M wheels

Remarks so far:
  • The accelerator pedal lag was horrible from the moment I picked it up. As soon as I got home with it, I did the reset procedure and noticed an improvement (not perfect, but better). I sure wish this car had been available with a 6-speed manual transmission.
  • The basic stereo package sucks. Going to need to do something about that.

Otherwise, I'm really liking this car so far. Comfy, sporty, handles nicely.

Wow. Nice color. After my unfortunate frontal collision two weeks ago, I've just received confirmation my replacement will be a 2015 X1 M Sport mineral grey but with the lights pkg.

If you have time could you post a couple more pics, so I could see a little more from different angles ?

My "old" 2012 was deap sea blue.

Thank's and congrats for your beautiful ride.

To Share with my fellow Canadian ...

First official pics of my replacement E84 2015 X1 M Sport pkg ... Mineral grey will be a great color after my original deap sea blue ... Still missing the blue a little bit but I'll be fine with MG for sure ... Name:  DSCN0584.JPG

Oh and by the way ... No lag at all in the throttle ... Very happy about that. Was prepared to do the throttle reset but no need to do so. The steering is even heavier than with my 2012 X1 with sport pkg. The leather wrapped M steering is wonderful to have in hand but it is heavy ... I will adapt and it is as precise as it can be. Really BMWesque. All the "M" sport pkg badge are discreet and well placed ( wheels, steering and door sill). It "adds" a little bit of extra to the car. Really glad to have it. As for the steering, is it hydrolic or electric ... I think it's hydrolic but I don't hear the pump whistle anymore when I'm at the end of the cycle so ... It could be electric ?!? I know the topic has been discussed and that the writings suggest it is hydrolic but I didn't thought of asking my mecanics ... One thing for sure it's a great setup ... if you don't mind to use your muscle a little :-)

I've been doing the throttle reset about every 2 weeks. Major PITA.

The red calipers are interesting ... I would have skip the " M " logo though ... The one thing I like about the M Sport PKG is it's discretion. You have some Logos on the door stile and some really small ones on each wheel.

Good looking overall :-)

And sorry for your throttle ...

Some U.S. M Sports came with small ///M badges on the fenders...the one's above are just a bit big for me.

Painted my calipers, though...
I dig the red calipers. Agree with the other comment on the fender badges, though. I took off my xDrive badges, though, so I'm not a fan of anything stuck to the side of the car.

I don't mind the smaller M badges that come on some stock, but the above ones were a bit big for me.
