Who the F%$# needs all these modles? X1, X3, X5, it's like they're taking care of the female consumers with needles options. :)

hi there..

you know BMW is going to eat the market...X1 will eat the other competitive SUV vehicles offered by other manufacturer...

Those who can't buy BMW due to price (of course people like me:yawn:), will go for it instead of any other SUV.

I kinda like it but I'm not sure if I can fit in it :sad:

BMW X1 sales exceeded expectations – 36,000 units sold

Last year, BMW introduced their latest addition to the X-family: BMW X1. The new Sports Activity Vehicle replaced the X3 as the entry-level model in the premium mid-compact SUV segment. Launched initially in Europe,, the BMW X1 is coming to the North American market in early 2011 with a variety of engines and options.

For the U.S., BMW will introduce the 28i and 35i models, in a rear-wheel drive and xDrive configuration. While there is no confirmation on a diesel engine, we certainly expect to see one of the award winning diesel turbos coming across the ocean, most likely, the 2.0 liter turbo diesel that powers the xDrive23d model in Europe or the 123d.

In a statement to stakeholders released yesterday, BMW’s CEO Norbert Reithofer, confirmed once again the success of this new X-model and the breakthrough into a new segment that focuses on a younger demographic, highly active, but still appreciative of performance.

“The BMW X1 has significantly exceeded even our own ambitious expectations: Since its introduction last fall, we have delivered more than 36,000 units to customers. “Among these customers are plenty of younger people for whom BMW was not a serious option before.”

The Joy campaign proved to be quite successful in reaching out tho this younger demographic and the use of the powerful social media certainly played an important role.

If the X1 continues up this ascending slope, it could certainly become one of the most successful Sports Activity Vehicles designed by BMW.

The gamble seems to be payin off!

the X1 being very small should lead to a nicely sized X3 something close to the Audi Q5 and not like the current X3 that looks weak & narrow!
