Officially Revealed: BMW X1 Photos & Videos

[SSense]

And the wait is over, we have finally received the first images of the BMW X1 production model. After months of teasing and prolonged marketing, BMW reveals one of the most talked about BMW in the last few months.

Our readers’ opinions have been split for months now, some of us enjoy the look of the new X1, while others don’t see the purpose of a new entry-level Sports Activity Vehicle. The BMW X1 will initially launch in Europe and we expect to see the X1 in the U.S. past 2010.

The X1 is mainly powered by diesel engines, five of these models will represent the core of the X1 family. The most powerful X1 model, xDrive28i, will be the powered by a petrol engine which outputs 258 horsepower and 228 lb-ft(310Nm) of torque at 2,600 rpm.

The highest end X1 diesel model will be sold under the xDrive23d naming convention and produces 204 horsepower and 295 lb-ft(400Nm) of torque at 2,000 rpm. This is the second fastest X1 vehicle with 0 t0 62 mph in 7.3 seconds.

While we’re waiting for more official information and the English press release, please enjoy the photos below.

i love the second color. But not fan of the X1, too much plastic. Same mistake than the X3.

Don't know how to judge it !

Still have to see it on the roads ! :)

But the interior is ok !

& +1 Jeanloup

[petrolhead]

I think it looks too much like the Kia or Hyundai softroaders

:puke:

[jeanloup]

interior is nice i have to agree on that but exterior still some work to do, you'll see they will come up with a M version ;-)

[M_Powerholic]

X1:///M: :drool:

[akanso]

:iagree:

[hiten86]

They just might actually come out with an X1M

But whatever said about the exterior +1 to that, but they're just targeting another market segment.

It would be fast if they put that 3.0L twin-turbo engine !! (135i-335i) :drool::drool:

It would be fast if they put that 3.0L twin-turbo engine !! (135i-335i) :drool::drool:

agreed - but honestly, that would increase the price by quite a fraction. Which would make it senseless to produce a car for the lower segments.

hmm ?

[M_Powerholic]

If you want a " cheap " X1... you don't even need to look at that engine ! ;)

But if you have some $$$ and would love to buy something have more space than the 1 series ... get this engine X1 3.5i ! ( Pointless I know ) :)

[hiten86]

But yeah - they could have it as an option perhaps ?

[M_Powerholic]

Yeah !!! :lol:

We all know that BMW always give you the car with engine options ! :D

For God's sake!!!!!!!!!!
