I don’t know why they didn’t use it, just know the ZF 8AT doesn’t fit. I believe the previous gen X1 transmission was an Aisin unit. The ZF 8 speed for a transverse motor apparently isn’t a very good transmission from what I read and isn’t used in BMWs.
Also, not all U11 X1’s are AWD, It’s the US/Canada market that only gets one choice in drivetrain.
