The New BMW X1

The BMW X1 finally comes to the United States! Europeans have had the X1 for about a little over two years now. But what is the X1? It's not a sedan because it's way to tall to be that. Not really a SUV because it's not as big as other standard SUV. But then you look at the Mini Cooper Countryman and it's considered a SUV... Anyways! In Europe they have actually already sold more then 300,000 X1's which even surprised BMW themselves. The new X1 that is coming to America has a newer facelift, not that you would even know because you didn't even own the first Gen. Also in the inside you will get more painted panels (Gloss Black). On the smaller X1 with sDrive28i you will have 240 horsepower and 260 torque. Gas your looking about 24 City and 33 Highway which isn't that bad for a SUV. 0-60 in 6.2 Sec. On the bigger X1 xDrive35i you should be getting about 300 to the back wheels and about 300 torque. 0-60 in 5.3 Sec and 18 City and 27 Highway. Prices start a $31,545 including destination for the sDrive28i, and the xDrive35i at $39,345.
