BMW is considering adding a small SUV called the BMW X1, positioning it below the BMW X3 and basing it on the BMW 1-Series platform, using 4WD components from the X3. Such a move echos announcements by other German automakers set to produce vehicles for the segment such as Audi’s upcoming Q3. Above is an artist’s impression of how it could look like. If it is to be produced, expect a debut in 2010.
One more shot of the rear after the jump.

Look nice and compact.
But the rear spoiler look weird..seem like a extension of the car roof..

Are you (BMW) Serious on it?
Its looks like Mitsubishi Dakar Rally Race Prototype Car. Men like BIG and Small Size SUV is mostly for ladies, but this shape doesn’t attract the ladies driver. Bad move I guess.

Looks to flair for my taste, hopefully its just a artistic impression

Wooo nice one. It said that small SUV. Ehmm but based on the picture it look like a big car.

BMW is trying to enter every single category they can think of. Now this looks like going heads on with CRV, RAV4 territory. I’m wondering if BMW would venture into making MPVs one day.
Is that a spoiler? or excess roof?

Oooh, watch out CRV and RAV4, here’s a contender. The headlamps, as well as the spoiler / roof? looks interesting.

Another gorgeous looking car by BMW.

looks more promising than the ugly X3! (its 3box design is out of proportion!)
but still the X5 shines!

Nice car! Only if the boys at Bavaria would crank up the work rate a little, cuz 2010 is just too long to wait for this beauty!
