Hi thouht I should just register to say hi and a thank you.

My grandfather had a problem with his BMW and doesn't do the internet thingie. So he asked me to find out if I could see if his problem was fixable by himself.

So I did a nice little google search and came up with yourself and found just what he required I hope it was ok only I copied it off, printed it and sent it to him via snail mail. He was very pleased, problems now solved and he didn't know how to thank you guys. So I said I would do it for him.

So thank you all for helping out an elderly man with a bmw car problem.

      Luggage 'Lashing Eyes' in boot

      Hi Dave, I've now spent some time checking out realoem.com and the lashing eyes on older active tourers and X1s seem to be identical. I think the variation in the front lashing eyes only seems to occur if a high (i.e. from the top of the rear seats to the roof) luggage net is used. So I'm going to order just 2 eyes and see if they will work. Your Part number does occur on various other models. I'll let you know if I'm successful, in due course. Once again thanks for the help.

      Buying an X1.

      Hi Bob, I when I had my 2018 X1 Sport I was able to fit my adult eletric bike in the back, but I had to remove the front wheel. I understand the newer X1s are a smidgen larger, but I don't think the boot dimensions have increased significantly. Regarding the 1.5 3 pot engine, that's what powers my 220i Active Tourer sDrive (although it's a mild hybrid). During the last month I've covered some 500miles, at lot of which was motorway and dual carriageway, and my MPG (according to the on-board computer) is 49.2. Whilst your X1 is larger I'm lugging around a battery but getting the advantage of slight regen. The DVLC website has info regarding the roadtax you'll pay. My X1 was purely petrol and I did have a spare wheel. Provided you are not looking at a hybrid, then a spare wheel should be possible under the floor. I hope this helps Ian

      Luggage 'Lashing Eyes' in boot

      Hi Ian Shame it didn't help I think with BMW it has less to do with cost and far more to do with control. I am told that some of the newer models (such as yours) have to be connected to the Dealers diagnostics which in turn are linked to Munich even Dealers have to book a slot. It may be interesting when the USA market challenge "restricted access" it's almost undoubtable they will Good Luck with the hunt Dave

      Luggage 'Lashing Eyes' in boot

      Morning Dave Thanks so much for the helpful advice. I've searched that site - very useful. Unfortunately the position and type of the front mounting has changed since the F45 model. Why BMW structured their software search engines in this way surprises me. Yes if you use a specific VIN then you should get the part you require, but it doesn't cope with searches like mine. I suppose like all things it comes down to cost. A more universal search engine would require more complex programming and data management. Such is life. To be fair to the Main Dealers and BMW UK, they were all apologetic, and I think a little embarassed that the system wouldn't let them help me. Ian
