In this video released by the boys at Munich, BMW’s Head of Project for the BMW X1 Peter Krist talks about BMW’s smallest X model to date, which is quite close to size to the current generation and soon to be replaced BMW X3. It’s also the first X1 to be available in rear wheel drive as well as all-wheel drive.
Nothing odd about the X1 to be, there are plenty who want an SUV but want it closer to a sedan’s driving feel and don’t want to handle something overly large – so the X3 has room to move up a size right between the X1 and the X5. There’s quite some room between the X1’s 2,760mm wheelbase and the X5’s 2,933mm wheelbase – somewhere around 2,850mm perhaps, which is a decent size up from the current X3’s 2,795mm wheelbase.

Hi Paul,
"SAV" or "SUV" in the title ? :) LOL

sav…sports activity vehicle//
White Jack, please watch and LISTEN to the video carefully. X1 is a SAV….
kinda different from the boxy prototype which is nice
replacing the x3, i wonder if it gonna priced at X3's also.
since begining of 2000 , bmw dashboards all have been the same , 3,5,7,x series…all look same par few color schemes , time to change design rather than come up with a new type of X model
this or the audi q5?
damn! i wan one
bosan.. when will the new proton news come out?
hopefully the price is no too high when it arrives. proton pls work fast la
rave, the X1 will slot below the current X3.
A slightly larger all-new X3 will be launched soon.
In other worlds its like replacing the current X3 with 2 different vehicles, a slightly smaller more car-like one (the X1) and s slightly larger one (the next X3).
proton news….please go hide somewhere else! this is a beemer discussion
bro… internet connection slow la, how to watch ? :)
