2012 BMW X1: New Photos and Details Released
![]() ![]() ![]() MALLORCA, Spain — BMW has released more details on its upcoming 2012 X1 sport activity wagon, including just how the X1 will fit in among the German automaker's range of vehicles. At a special media event in Mallorca, Spain, a fleet of the vehicles were made available for pictures, drives and speculation. The lineup starts with the xDrive20d with 177 horsepower and a 0-60-mph time of 8.4 seconds. It continues with the more powerful xDrive23d turbodiesel that makes 204 hp, 295 pound-feet of torque and a 7.3-second 0-60-mph time. North America will get only the third model, the xDrive28i, that's equipped with the same 3.0-liter inline-6 as the 328i xDrive sport wagon. The normally aspirated engine lays down 231 hp and 199 lb-ft and will sprint to 60 mph in 6.7 seconds. The X1's main competitor is the VW Tiguan crossover. The X1 sits 0.7 inch higher than the Tiguan, but offers 8.4 cubic feet less cargo space than the VW's 56 cubes. A set of 17-inch wheels is standard, and the exterior is BMW sporty with an aggressive-looking front fascia. BMW went for a unique look inside that doesn't overlap too much in design with the 1 or 3 Series. There's a new in-dash navigation system, the console buttons have a clean, simple arrangement and the air vents are revamped for a more angular look. Europeans will be able to get an X1 this fall, but the new BMW won't make its way to North America until mid-2011, around the same time as the second-generation X3, which is expected to debut at the 2009 Frankfurt Auto Show. Rumor has it that a rear-wheel-drive model is in the works, too. Inside Line says: Although this is likely pretty close to what the X1 will look like for U.S. buyers, expect some slight changes by the time 2011 rolls around. — Mike Lysaght, Correspondent http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do...cleId=149547#6 |

Ugh. No l.e.d. lights here. Same hood design mistake as the 7 series.

Looks promising and a little less goofy than the gold coloured concept from a while back.

I think this hood design is a sign of things to come from BMW. It's to do with hitting pedestrians. More of an impact.

...Jeeshh, for a model they may sell 10-15k annual units in the US,one would think it was 1964, and the GTO was coming. ![]() The genius marketeers didn't drag out the new 1 series this long.
