BMW far from expectations Not meant for Indian metros specially not for Delhi

Exterior Looks are good but bonnet needs to be shortened keeping in view the driving conditions on Indian roads specially Delhi-Paint coat is soo thin and easily gives of that even plastic of other cars if rubs your x1 it just chips off leaving ugly scratches,inevitable on delhi roads.abumper gently rubbing my Marrakech brown left ugly white scars on my car.even if a dog climbs your bonnet the paint easily goes off.I am comparing the paint quality with my previous Marutis I started withh 800 then to esteem then to baleno and then now to a BMW ,all my previous cars had much better paint quality coats were thicker superficial scratches nevout looked so ugly on Marutis.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Rear seats are not comfortable family keeps telling me that I have bought this car only for myself .Audio and aircon performance and controls etc are all very good.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine lags in the beginning but finally performs well while accelerating but with air con I get 9 kmpl far below what company claims.performance wise otherwise no complaints.

Ride Quality & Handling The only areas where I am fully satisfied are these.feels very balanced and firm on road.

Final Words BMW is either overhyped or just not giving right product to Indian markets.we Indians just for showsha keep on buying German products.

Areas of improvement Bonnet size, navigator system can easily be includunit hey are so cheap.mileage of other 2 l dieselengines is much better upto 13-14kmpl.paint coat must be more robust keeping in view the unavoidables and inevitables of Indian roads and traffic like those in Delhi, Mmubai.

Built,road grip and feel,audio,air on and all controlsMy x1 Marrakech brown has very thin coat,rear seating cramped
