Not impressed. When I look at it from the side it reminds me of a Mazda3 and other shots I see a Kia or something. One car that will not be on my want list. | | | | | 02-09-2012, 08:07 PM | #33 | | Eurotary Join Date: Jul 2011 Location: SoFla Posts: 403 |

OK so today I was at the main BMW dealership picking up a new exterior temperature sensor for the 328is and they had some new 1ers in. Most of them don't look quite right but there was one really nice one, M-sport in a very attractive shade of dark blue that had the right wheels on... and it looked really really good... but the others... ugh. Especially in bright colours and with chrome trim. The new 3ers, on the other hand, look great. | | | | | 07-22-2012, 07:50 AM | #37 | | Member Join Date: May 2012 Location: Washington Posts: 37 |

So my local BMW dealer say they have a couple of new X1 in stock here in the US of A. Looks a whole lot like a five door new-ish 1 series. Any body seen one/driven one in person?

RAS | Please dont take offence if anyone owns a X1 cos its not ment to be, we have the X1 over here in the UK also the X3 and both of them are classed as a joke here  most people her prefer the X5 only cos its more of a real 4x4 (as such  ) well its more of one than the other two  | | | | | 09-10-2012, 06:16 PM | #41 | | Cone Dodger Join Date: Jul 2009 Location: Watkins Glen, NY / Philadelphia, PA Posts: 616 |

RAS | I drove one when I was in Germany last summer, its really just like driving a car, it was nothing like my mom's X5 at home. I must say though, it was a Euro Sport model with a 6 speed and a 2 liter turbo diesel pumping out 250 HP and 350Ft/Lb (I think it may have been a prototype as I drove it at the BMW Welt/Factory/Museum in some fancy demo) and I absolutely loved it. __________________ 1968 Mustang Coupe 289

Most X1 & X3's are driven over here by what you guys call Soccer Moms and doing the school runs that cant drive X5's but want a 4x4 so they they can try and bully everyone on the road  but the ones that can drive X5's are like Kamakazie Pilots OH P.S. Its called Football not Soccer in England & Europe and we invented it

Sorry bud, the name football was already taken by a vastly more entertaining sport in the states, you can call it what you like, but, as the metric system will tell you, we are stubborn.....it should be called handegg...or battleball lol __________________
