I see the 7-series pig snout/nostrils is trickling down to the 1 series......

and what's with the infiniti tailights.





lots of creases in the metal

...this should be the X3 replacement.

IMO, if its called an X1, it should only have 2 doors

I think thats the new X3. Wow, it got even uglier. That doesn't look like a BMW, it looks like a Kia turd.

X3 is already tiny, so unless they plan to sell X1 with 2" leg rooms and overall car length of a VW Beetle I am confused.

x2...Not a fan of the new pig snout at all. And it's nice to see they loaded that concept with the same black plastic garbage from the X3

You guys should click that link...there are a lot more pics there, most of which look really good IMO.

I think they did a nice job with the exterior design. This X1 looks a lot better than the frekkin 1 Series. At the same time though, I still question BMWs recent downmarket product parade and the prostitution of their image in doing so.

However, I got grilled for saying that in the other thread. What's next...the new Yaris competitor? 0 series? 1/2 series?

This concept we are looking at, or the production model?

That IS the real deal. And it's a concept at this point anyway

Which means the production will only look worse, haha

I don't have problems with the way this car looks. I just have a problem with how useless it is, like the X6.
