X1 [Official] BMW X1 (F48)

Really good looking small SUV this .... The backlights look stunning at night love them.

Don't they use the old 6 speed steptronic in the X1 because it's basically a Mini?

Good riddance, if so. A DCT sounds pretty interesting, but @martinbo will not be pleased.

And as for the multi media, I suppose they get the same one as found in the 7er, 5er, X3, etc

For the small engines it's a 6 speed, as from the 18d they use the 8 speed.

But its a totally different 8 speed(coming from Japan) than the ZF one for the RWD and AWD based on RWD

Yes the X1 and X2 as well as the other MINI and BMW UKL models will receive a DCT. And the arrival of X2 brings a refresh to the X1 as well as the M Performance 3.5i

Why use a dual clutch when there's the great ZF 8HP?

Aisin?

 

[CrunchSlaughtered]

Aisin?

Yes

 

[martinbo]

There is no need for X1 to go DCT even though, @klier, it would be less of an issue for me given X1's distinctly less multi-purpose credentials compared with, say, an X3.

A Mini Cooper S Works with DCT sounds fantastic!!!

There seem to be a lot of complaints about road noise and noisy diesel engines from this car. Maybe BMW should fix that first.

Like the 5er this is the class benchmark brilliant little SUV , love the backlights!

The lack of blind spot assistance is also ludicrous. Unless that's an Australian market anomaly?

So i went scratching around on the BMW X1 configurator and spotted that there are indeed a few models available with DCT as well as a new gear lever. I will try and upload a pic.

That's the one. Microsoft paint does not want to cooperate with me.

The dual-clutch transmission was mentioned in the press release in May. Interestingly, it also mentions the 7 Series getting the full black panel instrument display as standard.

You should try snipping tools.

Any idea whose the maker of these new dual clutch for BMW? Apparently the DCT boxes in the GLA and Q3 aren't the best implementation , hope the X1 does a better job.

Double clutches for run-of-the-mill urban cars - I dunno - I just have an aversion. Seen too many broken and clunky DSGs in my lifetime.
