wow, this looks excellent, wouldn't get it in in diarria-brown though

[martinbo]

This looks really good in this shot. Very premium. So un-softroader-like.

You know,If BMWSA can price it right, then Im sold, or should I say we are sold.. Be linient on us bmwsa.. please dont let us pay an arm an a leg for this..

It workes very well in white! The brown is, well.. brown.

I must admit....GREAT! Looks premium and proporionally a whole lot better in the official pics! Nicely done BMW!!! 4/5

And yes! Now it is all up to the price....

Once they go they don't come back though, so here's a word of warning - don't expect to be driving that X1 too often!

As for the car - barring the hideous colour - I just love this profile. Nobody does cab-backward like BMW does and on a mini-SUV it's a particularly fetching silhouette.



I must say, I'd ace one of these (in this package) in that new metallic grey with saddle brown interior.

Where's that crazy agriculturalist, Human?

Hey Martin! See I will have mine in white with black leather seats...and also aluminium trim.

Surely the CashCow as well as the Tiguan have got trouble now! This X1 looks premium and proportionally much better in the official pics. The cab-forward design and the sporty rear coupled with the signature long hood - typical of BMW, makes this a BMW!
The pricing in the RSA would determine the success of the X1 here....

PS: LOVE those Y-Spoke rims ala X5/X6 !!!

Mods, can we have a new section for this thread? remove this from the New Models sections and create a new X1 SAV section.. thanks

No probs - I'll place your order for you! (Black interior is so boring these days)

I know you mean cab-backward! Cab-forward is Honda Civic sedan, CR-V...

We'll let this thread settle in the New BMW Models section for a while. Once the car is properly on the market with pricing then we can create its own section for it. Ok?

Martin, i don't think we need to wait for pricing or start of sales, this is officially new BMW model and should have it's own section. We did like that so far. Mark is the one to create all new section, we cannot do that.

But, as you guys wish, it's fine with me.

Interior is good and the profile is attractive. My biggest feud is with the barbaric front end which features over-sized kidneys and cross-eyed-like head lights. Neither is the front bumper graceful. The X5 and X6 have much more balanced appearances.
