I looked at it at the Frankfurt show, I thought it looked great in the 'flesh' - much better looking than the X3.

Not yet but was informed over the weekend that they will be in a dealership near you within the next week or so.

Yes, at Frankfurt too. Looked very nice, much better styled than a 1 or 3 series. However you need to like soft roaders.

I spent time sitting in, looking around the X1, X3 and X5 and you can see how BMW has tweaked the trim quality of these cars. While the X1 had plenty of space, even for tall people in the rear, I much preferred the X3's trim 'level'. The X5 is just too big for little extra space.

Saw a black one driving through Reading the other day - they'd taken the BMW badges off as a piece of cunning disguise.

We have a 5 series GT and an X1 coming for us to have a look at in a couple of weeks. I've looked round the 5 already but the X1 should be good!!

I got an invite today from Dick Lovett to go and see the X1 and 5 GT.
