Wtf? Where is that cup holder coming out of?

And what type of engine is that a 2l bi-turbo or 2.5 turbo?

 

[Rolf]

I trust it's the 2.0 4-cylinder biturbo

So true... How the hell does it fit in there?

 

[Rolf]

I don't like it either, however in the 6 series its been standard as well....

This probably is one the the quickest facelifts ever?

It now sports a double moustach and a bling grill, to me the front is a bit cheesy and overstyled....................................................:yuck:

 

[Rolf]

Exactly 2.5 years after launch!
Aiming for new face look with big grills to identify the new look

[Karthik]

Its actually quite nice ,and the interior looks like a nice place to be . Any ideas on when this facelift is coming out ? Its pricing is relatively good

 

[petrivanzyl]

Got this from CAR magazines website: http://www.carmag.co.za/article/front-wheel-drive-for-next-gen-bmw-x1-2012-07-03


BMW is planning to dispense with the rear-wheel drive platform for its second-generation X1 compact crossover in a bid to improve practicality, increase interior space and realise greater cost-savings by sharing underpinnings with the Mini Countryman.

The report via Autocar cites a reliable source stating that the next X1, due in 2015, will utilize a front-wheel drive platform that it will share with future Mini models (including driveline options with the second-generation Countryman) as well as an upcoming 1 Series GT model in a bid to reduce production costs. It has also been reported that the next X1 will feature a transverse engine layout that will aid in freeing up additional interior space.

Initially dubbed UKL ("Unter Klasse" - entry level in German), this new front-wheel drive platform can be combined with a Haldex-style multi-plate clutch, much like the countryman’s ALL4 variants. The front-wheel iteration will be aimed at four-cylinder models – BMW has confirmed that it will not engineer any of its six-cylinder powerplants for transverse mounting.

This platform is likely to be showcased in the 1 Series GT at this year’s Paris Motor Show, along with a new 1,5-litre three-cylinder engine that will form the entry-point to the BMW range.

That's "old news" already.... according to "Autobild" newsletter from this week the FWD idea has been scrapped....

So... I guess we will have to wait and see what really happens with it :=):

Well, looks a lot more agreeable to me compared to the current X1!! Interiors of these newer BMW's are really a thing of beauty! Cup-holder does seem odd though - looks like it simply folds to the left in front of the shift lever... Strange! :fencelook:
