What tires did they come with? And do you know if on your build you had the performance or high performance tire option?

Mine came with Continental performance tires(?). I’ll take a look and get exact model for you tomorrow but was told they switched out pirellis for Continentals

I appreciate it. I realized when it was a little late that there’s two tire options in the configurator and it seems like my dealer chose performance rather than high-performance. Just curious and trying to see what those two options actually are.

Enjoyed it looks awesome. Super excited for mine.

FWIW, I’ve only had it for 2 days and haven’t done a lot of miles… but all of these previous concerns including: ride stiffness, auto start/stop, climate control only on touchscreen, steering wheel not getting hot enough… I don’t have an issue with any of that and have been loving everything so far.


I was taking pictures at a stop and shop parking lot and a kid stuck his head out the passenger side window and yelled out “your truck looks ass!” Which also made me happy lmao

Comes with Pirelli P Zero summer rubber. 245/40r20

They’re pretty quiet and road noise is minimal.

You will definitely feel the road at times though

You should verify if they raised the electronic speed limit (150mph), that was the only benefit to getting the summer rubber, otherwise there’s a limiter of 130mph. I opted for the summer rubber as I am likely going to try to autocross and maybe some laps on track when the weather warms up.

Can you confirm if on your build sheet it lists performance or high performance tires on the wheel option?

on my build sheet it was performance tires, and the CA told me they switched out from Pirelli to Continental.. not sure what the reason was

I confirmed it’s the high performance type before I took delivery.

It shows on build sheet that the speed limiter was removed also

[abirmaher]

Thanks to you both.

So performance are Continentals and High Performance are Pirelli. Appreciate the info!

I think they may have shifted gears on standard equipment.

My understanding is that the performance tires should be pirelli all season performance tires on the performance w/ 20” and the p zero summer rubber for the other 20” tire.

The move to continental seems new

[Timchi]

Yeah my build sheet originally said performance tires and were supposed to be pirelli’s 🤷🏻*♂️

That is one trick X1m35i. I'm pretty certain all of us in this forum would be VERY happy if you'd provide us with a bit of a review - just a posting would be great. Congratulations! Great color/brake color combo.

Car is still sitting at the VPC in Baltimore. Arrived on 29 October. Sat in Bremerhaven for 5 weeks before it was transported on the Apollon Highway. This is getting frustrating! Supposedly still waiting on trunk plastic. Im sure some others out there are also waiting. No updates from the sales manager beyond what I got 3 weeks ago. 🙁

This whole thing is really so stupid… can’t wait for my car to be stuck at port when it arrives on the next week or two again after being stuck at port in Germany… glad I’m not the only one at least but how hard can this be to figure out.

Wasn't there a post somewhere that said the factory that made the trim parts suffered from a fire or something? That seems like a plausible explanation on the delay on fitting the missing parts if the manufacturing assemblies were damaged and needed repair/replacement.

[Corals]

Mine is also at the VPC in Baltimore and has been there since 10/25. Genius said that the dealer service center would be the one to order the parts and would be able to see an ETA - but alas there does not seem to be an ETA at all.

Guess it could be a while, which is very disappointing.

We are all in the same boat. The article link below was posted on the iX site. If this is the factory where the molded parts were made it doesn’t look promising unless BMW has multiple sources for these “interior trim” parts. You would expect a company the size of BMW would have at least dual sources for most parts so time will tell. You have to expect that a fire of this magnitude would not only have damaged building structure, but all the manufacturing equipment inside. Hopefully BMW will be honest with us regarding timing as it is a factor for us.

My issue is that other cars produced after ours need these parts too... where are they getting them from? At least as I understand it, at least some cars produced after ours don't necessarily have this issue.

That is what I am stuck on.

Unless it's an X1 with anthracite headliner and black trim, you don't know for sure if the other production lines were affected, or if there was a certain amount of back stock for parts for the other cars that are being used. A lot of times I believe BMW times their parts shipments precisely to reduce space used for inventory in their production facility. If it's a 2 series AT or a Mini, could just be that those parts were from a different supplier.

Got it. I mean particularly other X1's I think I have heard or seen be produced after mine and not be hit with the stop sale... but I could have missed something.

Anyone on here have a car produced after week 35 that is not stuck with a stop sale or has been delivered?

It’s all due to logistics and planning, everything is setup to deliver parts just in time for production, there is no stock there isn’t the space so suppliers are required to deliver quick and regular shipments direct to the factory for that hour, half day or week depending on size of the parts.

The issue then is that just in time process breaks and the cars are then like this allowed to leave the factory to not slow production. When parts supply does return it’s then get the process back online and then sort out how to fix those cars that left the factory short of parts. Otherwise they never get on top of the issue.

Frustrating for those affected but require to keep things moving for all the other cars being made and minimise further issues that need to get fixed.
