No carpeted door bins in an XF

Everything you chuck in bashes against the nasty plastic

What spec was it? I'm not sure if the X260 gets it on the higher spec versions. I just happen to have a spare drivers door card left over from my first X250 XFR, I've checked and it's carpeted in there like I thought.

Portfolio.

Yeah I'll check spec. Was it a 163 or 180bhp?

Jonnycoupe · 28 Jul 2017 at 09:01

Seems its only a carpet layer on the bottom of the bin rather than the whole surface?

[TW]Fox · 28 Jul 2017 at 09:24

I am 95% sure that there was none on the base either.

Really frugal engine though.

Picked it up yesterday, pretty happy with it but sad to see the XJ go. Its a 15 plate with 13.7k on the clock. Just to check before I badger the dealer, do BMWs come with a service book to show service history or is it on online at the dealers these days?

[TW]Fox · 29 Jul 2017 at 11:01

Service history on a 15 is in the idrive now.

wedrum · 29 Jul 2017 at 11:02

very nice

Looks good bear. Which black is that? Too shady to tell!

Carbon black metallic I think

Does it look a deep blue in light? If so then that's what it is! Sapphire has a multi colour sparkle. And jet is just...black

Just popped out and it looks like a straight metallic black to me so I guess it's jet. The dealer said it was carbon black but it isn't the first clueless salesman I've ever met

[TW]Fox · 29 Jul 2017 at 12:00

Jet is solid IIRC.

I really like that... the colour and the wheels make a change from white 1 series and blue 3 series all with the same multi-spoke wheels.

You need to include a photo of the carpet in the door bins for fox.

mikeh501 · 31 Jul 2017 at 20:12

pretty sure they have a felt type surface.

Like a horses chin. I can confirm this as I nuzzled a horse whilst stroking my bin. True story.
