X1 Next BMW X1 to go front-drive

Looks good indeed, but why is it taking so long? The current X1 is a relic! E code!

Current X1 is not so old. Only 5 and a half year on market. 6 year from X1 concept.

Tech wise it was almost old when it was just launched The X1 was an experiment. They're dragging it now and the new one is sort of overdue.

Yes, you are right. Its based on E90...

I'm just hoping they get the front right so they can set up for the X2, or should I preface it with the "wildly impractical" X2. The X3 and X5 faces have been steps backward. Why does everyone say IMO, who else's opinion would you be representing? Things that make you go "hmmm...".

Our sources say BMW X2 is canceled. Replaced by BMW XCite

Its a render.
But this 98.5% the new BMW X1.

The new BMW X1 rocks its larger wheels and mini-X5 vibes.

SWEET!!!! That looks amazing!

Maybe its the render but I find it uninspiring.

I'm in love
Certainly the best looking BMW SUV currently! Proportions are great too!

Looks very similarjust my opinion

Thats's because the foto/render it is taken from a bad angle..........

Perhaps. It just looks like a bad render. The photos that Scott posted just above reveal it to be much better proportioned and dynamic.

I'm curious to see the real thing. I wonder about how it will compare to the existing X1 size wise. Same? Slightly shorter? Slightly longer? Curious.

Bmw blog mentioned air Breathers ...on this render I can't see them

 

[Pepi]

Nothing new

 

[maragulon]

X1 with M sport

X1 with M sport

Looks interesting. I'm getting a better idea of the size of the new X1. Hope those aren't the m-sport wheels.

^We have seen this already in October last year as allegedly X7 renders. But AutoBild reported that this is a X1 render.
