$45k is a steal, IMHO. I'd gladly take this over the X1 M she has now. After I went through and checked all of the boxes, it was over $50k. No heated steering wheel in the M. No AC'd seats in the M. If you want the 19" M wheels, they come with summer-only tires. What? Summer-only tires on an SUV? I had to settle for the 18" M wheels. Everything with BMW comes in packages...very expensive packages. If you want heated seats, you have to check a package on the order form which also gives you options you may not care about. I rarely drive it, being it is hers, but it
is a fun vehicle. Very nimble and quick thanks to the M Package (8 speed auto, paddle shifters, 3 different drive modes, etc.), but you're paying for the BMW name.
She'll be due next March for a new rig and hopefully I can talk her into this. She wants to go back to a Jeep GC.
