the low height of this X1 will make it seem much smaller than it is.

Just what the world needs right now; another SUV. There is something ironic about an SUV with paddle shifters. You know, like as if the drivers don’t have enough time to reach for the levers. Will take sometime for the electronics it to think (hmm.. enough traction on left rear wheel tyre?). More for final decision (which solenoid is that again?)

Did you notice that all the diesel variants have the same bore and stroke? It’s the German tax scheme again ainit? Buy a 1.8 and get the 2.3 inlet manifold.

the secrect of good fuel efficiency
flatter torque, or good low end torque, as good as 2500rpm at least,
so strong car capable to push car at overdrive during low engine speed,
( of course it has to agree with calibration of the rationing the gear and to the designated engine capabily with the weight of the car)

and for town drive, shift point of transmission is without delay or so called short shifting, thus reduce engine over-reving, and down shifting is capable holding in gear push before any necessary kick down.

and this character could prolong the engine life span batter because engine works at low engine speed through out its life

WE have to think of this seriously. what to be done…

Paul,

Is this the first time BM is positioning a woman in a bikini in their communication to customers?

Always thought the luxury brands avoided such associations.

For some reason, the chick kinda looks like Tom Cruise to me.

the front just looks too heavy. i still can’t understand the positioning of the X1 in the bmw stables.

The side profile is nice and the back is OK. I don’t quite like the front.The grille is too “flat”.would be nicer if it is sloping or rounded.

it’s small… not as big as you think.
not as big as x5 .
for easiest comparison, see the pic that the man put the surfboard one.
for hardest comparison, check the stats document then compare it..

But between X1 and X3, for me they look almost similar in term of the measurements of vehicle.

kodomo said,
the Rear design is jus ‘perfect’ …. but i dun understand why ter need to have few sizes for this SUV thingy, or crossover watever, X1, X3, X5, X6 etc…. pretty sure those who can afford X3 can also afford X1 vice versa….

You got a point there. Maybe They want to give people different kind driving pleasure and experiences, that’s why they introduced these models.

Anyway, I like the tyre rims…..XD
