Does anyone in the UK have a 225xe, looking to know what you think of it and does it perform as you expected?
Hi KiwiKiwi said:Dorsetred Check pricing to change your 2014 AT to a 2016/17 225xe. I understand you can receive subsidies and what I've been reading some of these subsidies are being remove around the world and may be cheaper than you think it is to change. Watch diesel resale as the word is diesels are becoming harder to sell due to VW cheating as well countries trying to ban diesels and cars like the 225xe, X5e will replace diesels. The only diesel BMWs are selling here now is 5, 7, AT & X models.

Yes you can see the following threads: -HoR said:Thanks for the welcome! Ours should be in the dealer on the 24th Feb, so we'll hold off a couple of days to secure a 17 plate, I think. We've gone for the Nav+, Tech package and Driver Comfort with Driving Asst +, we've also accepted the Young'un's demand for dark glass , hers for heated seats and mine for the BMW Advanced speakers.
EDIT: I really like the Flamenco red, and it's a shame they don't do the M Sport variant in that colour - it's the first red car I think I've liked since the Countach. Not actually seen the AT in Estoril blue - I'd have been happy enough with white, but our Lexus is a nice blue and I think the better half really wanted something that stands out. You don't have any pics of yours in the daylight do you Dorsetred?
Not an issue whatsoever after all this is what the forum is all about, unfortunately I don't have any night-time photographs but I can definitely confirm you can change between white and orange, I don't think we've got a blue on ours and this may be only applicable on a true "M" version as opposed to an M Sport.HoR said:You're a gem, thanks. I'll peruse those threads in detail! And no, we won't be getting any dealer-recommended washing and cleansing kit... (we still have a 'rather expensive' bag full of goodies from our last Bimmer )
EDIT: Aye, that car has a stunning colour. Looks great from any quarter (not sure about the front, still, but every other view is quite good at least). Could I just ask one of those interminable questions, and it's not so much for me as for the nipper (honest guv) but the 'switchable' ambient lighting... I've managed to find (for him) on Youtube a video of an X5 switching between the three M colours of blue, orange and white (and combinations thereof down low) is this similar for the M Sport AT? I don't suppose you have night-time photos (I cannot believe I'm asking this on an internet forum...)?
