Default Spied: 2010 BMW X1

Repost??? I feel like there was a thread on this already, but it maybe because BMW has about 8 other useless little crossovers coming out in about 3 years.












"Spied again: 2010 BMW X1 in traffic (plus illustration)
January24

In November, the first prototypes of the all-new BMW X1 crossover hit the road. Today, our spies snapped some new shots of the small SUV during testing. In the context of other traffic, it's easy to see how compact the X1 really is. We've also got an exclusive illustration of how the X1 might look.


The newest X1 also appears to take several design cues from the BMW X6, especially from the B pillar back. Despite the X6's coupe-like inspired lines, the X1 should offer plenty of rear-seat head room and cargo space.

The X1 is expected to hit the market in 2010 with full time all-wheel drive. Its overall size is also said to be comparable to the Toyota RAV4. It remains possible that the X1 will share some components with MINI's upcoming SUV.

Other details on the X1 remain a mystery, but drivetrain options will likely mirror those offered in the 1-series. "

I agree with the rest. That concept rendering looks pretty boring so far...

now we just need a SUV based off a 7 series and make it bigger than a X5.

and comparable to the Rav4? Last time I checked, the current Rav4 is pretty darn big.

omg... in a world of mpg and environment awareness, they bring another useless SUV with cramped rear seating and no cargo space - basically just the "S" in SUV is all that it has going for it. What's the point? 1 series hatchback not good enough?

Now minimum wage workers can afford one (no offense).
But let's see their pricing, probably the same stupid pricing as the 1 series

LOL, the X1 will not look like that rendering. I've seen some pics with parts of the camo off. I will look for them.

Why couldn't they just bring the 1 hatch in 3 and 5 door trim?
I would much rather a low to the ground hatch than a jacked up one.
