Popular BMW tuner AC Schnitzer has worked on the BMW X1 and this white result you see here will be paraded at Geneva. This project is not a surprise though; just a matter of when, not if.
Visually, AC’s X1 gets a front spoiler, rear skirt extension and rear roof spoiler, which join forces to “improve downforce and ensure additional ground adhesion”. Other visual tricks include bonnet vents and chromed centre webs. Of course we need some flashy rims, and AC’s new Type VIII 19-inch wheels with double spokes in “BiColor” finish is an evolution of the popular Type VI wheel. The looks are backed by a spring kit and an aluminium strut brace for “the perfect balance between sporting performance and driving comfort”.
There’s some extra go too. The X1 xDrive23d gets a power hike from 204 bhp to 240 bhp, while the 1.8d engine goes from 143 horsepower to 171 bhp and the 2.0d jumps to 210 bhp from 177 bhp.
Inside, the X1 gets a massive dose of AC badges, but interesting details include a rim design for the iDrive controller and gear knobs with the gear position showing on its head. Full gallery after the jump.

awesome!. but i'm still confused what's the difference between X1 and X3.
Lebih kurang AUDI Q5 je…Volvo XC60 lagi bagus.
the front looks ugly……A brick looks better than this car…hehe
yes..both design looks a bit weird. x5 look better.
the price is between rm300 -400.its cheap than x3.
The X1 Look a little bit more aggresive compared with The X3 where a bit conservative. But to me both also are nice small SUV.
The things is, Danny didn't sleep to keep us update on auto-industry (see what time this post was sent)..big clap for them (Paul and Danny)..
Sleep early la guys. For the time 3 a.m. we are not even awake to view it.
bimmers going boring
Looks good to me but I guess this won't be available in Malaysia as usual. The specs that BMW Malaysia is bring in is only 2.0d & 1.8i without GPS unit.
the sat nav button looks childish. looks ugly
The pictures clearly show the manual transmission of X1. If BMW can bring manual transmission of X1, don't "play play" while waiting traffic light with X1 unless u drive sports cars or big muscle cars.
this is uber cool
extremely ugly face! Dompok
i never appreciate the tuning work done schnitzer, of all the schnitzer tuned bmw i saw on the road, ahhm sorry to say that they all look fugly, brabus does a much better work at merc…
i'm still a big fan of the x6. Let see them tweaking the x6 which is already a masterpiece!
