The following changes were shown at the 2012 New York International Auto Show: In winter 2013, an X1 Edition Powder Ride was introduced for xDrive20i, 28i, 18d, 20d, and 25d models with similar features. Models feature xLine specific equipment (including exclusive paint colours, restyled exterior elements, 18-inch alloy wheels, and a multifunction sports leather steering wheel), as well as a roof rack and roof box, and Powder Ride Edition decals on the doors and wheel arches. It is based on the Concept K2 Powder Ride unveiled earlier at the 2012 Los Angeles International Auto Show and was done in collaboration with K2 Sports. The X1 Powder Ride edition was released in November 2012 as an option for xDrive28i and 35i models. Ģ8i, 18d, and 20d models featured a 6-speed automatic until 2011, before being replaced by an 8-speed transmission. 18i and 23d models receive a 6-speed automatic, while 20i, 16d, and 25d models are available with an 8-speed automatic. The rest of the model range receives a 6-speed manual transmission and all models (except the sDrive20d EfficientDynamics) are optionally available with an automatic transmission. XDrive25i and 35i models are only available with a 6-speed automatic transmission. From 2012, the X1 is also offered in xLine, Sport, and M Sport trims. Standard equipment includes dual-zone climate control, parking sensors, 17-inch alloy wheels, and regenerative braking. The rear seats can be folded in a 40:20:40 split and increases the storage space to 1,350 L (47.7 cu ft). The X1 offers 420 L (14.8 cu ft) of cargo volume. The X1 is available in rear-wheel drive (marketed as sDrive), and all-wheel drive (xDrive) variants with a 40/60 rear-bias. The platform is also used in the Zinoro 1E, which is an all-electric crossover based on the X1, with a rear-mounted 125 kW (168 hp) electric motor that produces 250 N⋅m (184 lb⋅ft) of torque. The final production version of the X1 is based on the same platform used in the E90 3 Series, and both have the same 2,760 mm (108.7 in) wheelbase. The E84 X1 was revealed in a near-production prototype called the Concept X1 that was revealed at the Paris Motor Show in October 2008. The project director of the X1, Peter Kist commented that "never before has BMW produced a model that is meant for such a wide customer range." He pointed out it is suitable for young people and older people, and as X1 is the first BMW X Series to be available in the sDrive trim (two-wheel drive), it is suitable for customers who do not need off-road capability. As the result, it was reported that BMW has shortened the development and pre-production time by 40 percent compared to previous X Series models. 2011 BMW X1 xDrive20d M Sport (UK pre-facelift)ĭevelopment of the vehicle started in 2006 as petrol prices were going up, BMW identified the need for a smaller and more efficient model in its SUV line-up.
