Frankfurt 09: BMW X1





BMW showcased their new llittle SUV - the X1. The exterior design looks more handsome that it's big brother X3 with the 7-Series looking grille and a sinister set of angel eyes. This will definitely prove to be the X1's major selling point. Just like the 3 Series and the 1 Series, the X3 and X1 are very closely related, not only in terms of powertrains, but mechanicals and chassis, too.


Engine choices range from the 258 bhp double-VANOS straight-six in the xDrive28i to the 295 lb-ft of torque twin-turbo and common-rail diesel xDrive23d to less powerful diesel models like the 258 lb-ft xDrive20d / sDrive20d. There's also the sDrive18d which can get up to a BMW claimed 54.3 imperial miles per gallon.
