| I find the nose-down stance of the car interesting in that shot. Quite a bit of nose-dive under braking (though not unusual at all for a car with raised ride height) and it begs the question: how good to drive is BMW going to make the X1? Rearward-biased handling traits? What of sportier and even X1 M versions? The precedent has been set after all... I quite like the idea of an X1 M - it has the same spirit attached with it as my beloved Forester STI. Lord, why didn't we get that car here!?

| I like the details but have no high hopes for it... The silvery parts in the front and rear looks like on the TT-RS
