BMW X1M xDrive AWD First Sighting!

Well,Well,Well,Well.

Yes that is an X1M. To accompany the X1 xDriveM35i.

With everyone distracted by The IAA mobility. Super sleuth Wilco Blok caught these on the move. I reached out and the car they were "seriously considering" has moved forward to production status.

It makes sense when compact performance SUVs are popular with the GLA 45 AMG and Audi RSQ3 and Sportback models and the VW T-Roc R. Makes perfect sense for the X1M to join in the fun.

Engine still should be a four cylinder turbo mated to AWD BMW xDrive.

No specifics yet but that should filter in the next few days but expect close to or around 400PS? Competition model?

E11 X1 spotted with 4 pipes? https://f48.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1857710

Except so think it might be code U11 is it

?

It would've been nice to have the S58 or B58 but I guess it's not officially confirmed yet?

Also, I wonder what the weight difference will be between this and the X3M…

24kJuice · 09-13-2021, 02:06 PM

I was just researching this about a week ago😳

spuntyb · 09-13-2021, 02:07 PM

I forgot the X1 existed

It's based on the UKL2 platform that uses transverse 3 and 4 cylinders. Putting a 6 in there would require a major rework.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_UKL_platform

It's probably just got the engine from the M235i GC or 135i. If they plan to launch 1M and 2M GC it might even be an S version of that engine…

Nice!

I really enjoyed my last 2020 X1! Fun to drive!

Kudos to BMW for bringing first ever X1M!!!

I shouldn't be intrigued by this, but for some reason, I am....

Glazonyoursix · 09-13-2021, 02:35 PM

I'm actually excited for this. Currently have the X2 M35i and that 4 cylinder turbo is amazing!!

Nahlem · 09-13-2021, 02:44 PM

Lol ok. I wonder if the majority share your experience. I certainly enjoyed 2020 LCI X1.

:

We have an X1, it is a 2016, and it is nice vehicle. Great for hauling stuff and my daughter loved it so much it became exclusively her vehicle. I still drive it from time to time and it is fun to drive. I have a 340 and the X1 is certainly not quick like the 340, nor does the older 2016 have the newer features, but is still car that I am impressed with. An updated and quicker little X1M might be a real hit. Will be interesting to see if this takes off.

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