Default Official BMW X1 Revealed



40 Pictures here: http://www.leftlanenews.com/bmw-x1.html

I will have to see the interior in person...in some colors and photos it looks good, in others it looks odd. Also, not a fan of BMW-pig nose. Other than that i'll have to wait to see one in person before I make any final judgement calls.

I actually like the interior. It's simple and from the pics that were on the site it looks logically laid out. I was going to say the seats looked cheap until I realized I was looking at the cloth seats we won't even see in the US The exterior is decent enough for what it is. I don't hate it, but I don't love it.

If I need a BMW with a big rear hatch door for moving large boxes, I'd much rather have a 3-series wagon over a X3 or X1 for sure ...

. I do like the interior. Exterior looks like a Hyundai or Kia with a pig snout up front. They are great at fooling people aren't they!

based on the frankfurt pics, the X1 looks decent, but is built for midgets :

it doesn't even look like this guy will fit.

It's tiny and the black interior looks extremely boring and uninspired

It looks ok (oink oink) its not funky like the other BMW's as of (oink) late, but it does look like a (oink oink) Kia design.

I think they need to get rid of the 3-Series wagon and just offer this version.

It'll sell like crazy...

This vehicle was revealed a long time ago lol.. The steering wheel, seats, interior bits, chassis including suspension components are from the 3 series.. This vehicle will slice up the tarmac for sure. I like it!

Looks like BMW stole the back from the Q5.

No its a cute ute below the X3 cute ute. Though surely pricing with options will be where the RX is priced. Its a cuter ute, except its ugly. Its based off the 3 series sedan so its literally a raised 3 wagon. I expect them to can the 3 wagon here and sell this thing.
