I do like the way the DRL switches off on the side of an active indicator - I think it makes the indicator more obvious to other drivers as it is not obscured by an adjacent bright white light like some other cars.


I'm sure the adaptive headlights are fantastic, but to me, even the standard LED headlights on my X1 are far better than what I had on my last car! When ordering my new car, I just thought the £1,200 package for adaptive headlights (and a couple of other addons in the bundle, I forget what they were) wasn't justifiable.

As an aside, I love quality sound, so one of my indulgences was the Harman Kardon sound system - well worth the £500!
After 3 cars with HIDs and 3 cars with LEDs, I would never go back to halogens. I see cars with halogens driving toward me, and half the time, I think they only have their DRLs on.....
