so far after three weeks of owning my beloved X I must say i am totally happy with her!!
my comments....
* love the nevada leather...very rugged and offers a good amount of grip...(I don't like the slippery feeling of other smoother leathers..)
* backup camera not as bad as others have mentioned... it seems to brighten as it comes to life... to the point where it is actually pretty useful in the dark...(as long as it's not pitch black dark)
* auto-tailgate is a beautiful thing...hold the button for 1 second and voila!
* plenty of storage areas to hide things...(cleaning supplies, tools, etc) without having to leave it in the trunk area.
* I've been keeping it under 4500 rpm cause i'm still breaking it in..but pickup is adequate and more than my previous E53 and Landcruiser...
* quiet ride... non-sport suspension still feels sporty and stable... i can take fast turns without feeling like it's going to give out....still running on stock 18s but will swap to 214s after winter season..
* standard sound is not bad...sounds great at a descent level but buzzy if you really raise the volume so i'm definitely upgrading the speakers for more bass and clarity... (wish i'd opt for the premium sound)
* heated seats work great! wife simply loves them and looks for an excuse to accompany me on my errands..
* comfort access is a must have... haven't used the keyfob since...(except when showing off the ambient lighting when arming/disarming at night!!)
* no issues with idrive...screen comes right on and immediately starts playing the radio when i hit the start button.
* NAV is pretty good! (comparable to my Garmin) but without the touch screen!! (BMW should have made it a touch screen!!)
* ipod adapter works perfectly! no issues whatsoever!
* heated steering wheel would have been nice in this frickin cold!!
** only real problem is that the PDC and DTC buttons require some finessing when manually activating/deactivation these features... they don't seem to come on on first touch.
an upcoming trip to the service dept should fix this..
so far no issues, error codes or stalling....
will post pics when i have my accessories and other options installed..
