I was very impressed with X1 too! I can't wait to see X1M in a dealership showroom when it comes out!

It may be a SAV but I think it's always nice to add a full on M product to the lineup so this is good stuff in my opinion.

Uh oh, wait until the M3 guys hear about this!
"They are diluting the M brand!" "It's not a real M car like my ____ _____ is!" "M used to mean Motorsport and now it just stands for Marketing. BMW is dead to me." |

Despite not being interesting in anything called an X1. They're here to tell us all how bad a car it is and that it's FWD trash.

It's FWD-based AWD. And having owned an F48, I will say it feels very FWD. We got a good deal on it as a grocery getter but we sold it after about 2 years. A boring an uninteresting vehicle with much better and cheaper competition. There is no reason to buy one unless you are very into the brand.

Oh the day is here. A FWD platform based full blown “M” product (not Mxxx or M performance)
Guess not surprising? But still disappointing… If anything I’d hope they put more energy on their lackluster Electric lineups |

The X1 is the dullest and most dreary car in BMW's lineup. Why would they waste M division engineers time on it? If you want a hot version of this platform, just buy a Mini.

If there will be a X1M, does it mean, we will have a F40 1 Serie M ?
Asking that because of the same plateforme shared and more or less same motors...

I wonder the same thing. Looking at the competition (GLA45, RSQ3) it will be in the mid-60k range. Like, who in their right mind would buy a FWD 4-cyl crossover for that kind of money? You can get a M2C or if you want a SUV a X3 M40i...

A smaller package with lower centre of gravity than other X models, AWD, a stonking M engine, with a good design from the donor car - sounds like a sure fire hit.
