Given that the E53 is an E39 touring with a raised roof, I don't understand the criticism of wagons.

Sheesh! All the negative comments, let's all keep in mind, the Roundels are the same size no matter what model of Bimmer we drive! :thumbup:

Welcome to Xoutpost.com! This is the best place to be for all of your questions about your ride, very knowledgeable experts here indeed. Congrats on your new X'er and enjoy the ride!

Really
 

To be honest the X5, at least here in Los Angeles is the staple mom car.

Thanks!
 

I got a nice warm welcome. Gave me warm fuzzy feels. Now to find the nice people :(

No really, I'm enjoying this post. Thanks for the comments! I posted here when I saw (150) people viewing compared to the Zero in the x1 forum.

I think I found the love. Nonetheless glad to be here. :D

Congrats on your X1!Nice spec,best wheels for it too!Great looking car.
Here at the dealer ,we get quite a few X1s in and with less problems than with the E53 or E70!
Dont understand all the negative comments here!You x1 is worth more than most E53 here in the Forum,maybe thats why ,hehhhee;)

Its pathetic to even compare it to "rice" suvs!The front of the X1 still has the distinctive grill and the headlights with angel eyes and a good resemblence to the series1,could only be BMW !
The rear styling,I am not the only that sees that is similar to the F15 ...but much nicer!We have a few F15 in the showroom and only the M50 with the bulging sides and bumpers ,distract you from the ugly rear!!!
You have a nice car ,there,so keep it and enjoy it for many years!

The criticism is that at least the E53 doesn't look like a wagon. haha

Ok ok, Im sorry just giving you a hard time ctuitele.I obviously have wagon issues...lol
Yeah, I've also heard that over there a lot of moms drive X5's, heck a lot of guys on here get their wives X5's; most of them are stock though. I personally have always liked customizing my stuff like my X.
But yeah, I'm sure your X is a nice car and it drives great. What color do you have?

If you have a question or need some help most of the people that haven't come across as nice will still do what they can to provide you what you need.

Some of the comments may have been teasing. In my view, the problem with teasing in writing, especially to someone new, is there is no way to read the writers face or body language. Even when we add-- we are teasing-- it doesn't sound sincere. Generally, teasing is saved for someone you have known for some time and it is clear they won't take it personal. If it is piled on we risk that all of us will be perceived as not nice or arrogant smart a$%es.

Pleased you have hung in there and you can blow, didn't take it personal and took the high road. My suggestion is if you are not treated with respect ask that person or persons why they are being such an a#$hole, or, private message them and tell them what you think of their comment. I have received a couple of PMs to resolve differences.

Lol
 

Haha, nothing was taken personal. Just enjoying the forums and getting to know the lot. It packs a nice punch and fun to drive for sure. I have it in Alpine White.

Anyone reccomend a good wax/ sealant for alpine white?

I have used Zaino for many years because if is so easy to apply and it lasts so long. The more layers you add the deeper the shine. They also have a sealer and an in between applications enhancer that can be also used be to get the dust off in between without causing swirling.
