Definitely looks much bigger, almost looks like an X3 in size upon first glance.
This is definitely the BMW that needed an update the most. The X1 has been getting a bit stale on the market as more competition has shown up and been refreshed completely. Lexus, Mercedes, Audi, and even Volvo and Cadillac's competitors are outselling the X1 (in the US market), some by close to double in sales. Not to mention this is probably one of the larger growing markets being that its the gateway vehicle into a luxury brand and SUV's are king right now. It should also be interesting to see how the iX1 comes into play, as that will also be the cheapest BMW EV soon. |

X1/2 is a mystery to me: why pay inflated BMW prices for a flimsy interior, compromised ergonomics and a FWD platform with the obvious 60/40 distribution which many none premiums can match or eclipse?

To be honest, the current X1 is actually a great vehicle for what it is and for. The only drawback was the interior. The materials were good for its class but the design was pretty much a downer.
If BMW fixes/improves it for the upcoming generation, should continue to be a huge hit. |

Plus, people who have high-powered BMWs as their first cars speak highly of the X1 as an agile city cruiser/grocery getter. It doesn't beat an M3 of course, but it does beat its competition in driving engagement, and I think that is what matters more. |

I know it's a pipe dream, but the way these new chassis look on the X1 it really seems in control. I know lots of people don't like saturation in the ///M division, but I'm the complete opposite. I think there should be a new ///M car and the X1M works. I enjoyed driving the X3M but it's too large of a vehicle for what I like. The X1M would be perfect size-wise.

Looks like it's wearing the same wheels that were available for the X2 35i. Make the same 306 hp engine available and a few interior tweaks and they'll have a great package to offer. My former car was an X1 with the M-Sport package.

I am actually looking at the X1 as a current replacement to S/O's Lexus RX350 whose lease is ending in a couple months. Not everybody needs an X3 etc. We don't since we have no kids therefore the X1 does make valid sense for some and while old still offers better utility than some modern competitors namely Lexus NX/UX....

Building a FWD platform is negative for almost everything, except interiour space and of assembly activity & of assembly material. No, what they did is sticker it FULL price for top margin. This vehicle is way too expensive for how it drives. And it doesn't drive like a BMW, a real one that is. The few occassions I drove it were all seriously underwhelming. But I have to admit that I don't like my X3 either, I refer to it as our "mutant wannabe all terrain". At least, it's RWD biased and that's something you can feel in daily driving (don't need a track for that, accelerating out of any T-junction is sufficient). |
