This is pretty much the face of the actual X1. Wow. Can't believe BMW used the same 7-series look.

1st gen Santa Fe?:rofl:

[schocker]

wow, bmw owes me another lunch :barf:
great color choice for the concept too:facepalm:

[badatusrnames]

Eww... not so much.

I've never liked any of the BMW SUV's...

[Xtrema]

Never understand why x1 is needed. Is someone complaining about x3 drive like a hummer?

[Gabe182]

Does BMW really need a four suv lineup??

it doesent really look different from any of the others.



:barf:

[schocker]

on a side not, isnt this also like exactly the same size as the super ugly x3, what is the point really:dunno:

[Destinova403]

this car is TOTALLY redundant... it doesnt even look that much smaller than the X3... it would be better if it was just a 2 door or something... atleast distinctive or something.

They're responding to the smaller chassis "crossover" market. I recall reading that they've scrapped plans for an SUV larger than the X5, and they're even scaling back X5 production. Sales have dropped with gas prices up.

[nismodrifter]

I'm not too happy with the current BMW SUV offerings. An X2 and an X4 would be perfect additions to their lineup IMO. X1 is just too small.

[TYMSMNY]

LOL... there are no 2 series nor 4 series... therefore X1. Manufacturers are now in the "small vehicle race" as gasoline prices have increased significantly. Kind of funny.... SUV race.. compact race... what's next? Hybrid race!

edit: I know the hybrid race has already started... before I get pummled for that.

Wow, I can honestly say that that is one of the worst looking vehicles I have ever seen.

[treg50]

Good thing for bmw it's still just a concept. Looks like a bad attempt at an Infiniti.

[tm88]

I love the
"this is the worst looking vehicle i have ever seen" comments.

Im guessing if you search their usernames you would learn about many other vehicles that are the worst.

As mentioned above it looks identicle to a X3 only with some 7 series styling. I would have also liked to of seen a 2 door crossover. For some reason i seem to recall hearing or seeing something about that with BMW. Maybe not,:dunno:

[narou]

:barf: +1

[tm88]

according to the video i was wrong. He says its a combo of the X series and 1 series.

[benyl]

The reason for this is because in North America, people don't like wagons like the 1 series in Europe. So they have to make it an SUV before people will buy it.

The 3 series wagon is a way better car than the X3. But guess what, the X3 sells to the crowd that doesn't want a wagon.

North America is so dumb.
