The updated parking assist allows perpendicular auto parking. Will need sensor upgrades. Only available with 1, 2, 3 and 4 Series.

Basically, the part that's relevant to X1 introduces M Sport and its standard features plus the two new smaller engines and manual transmission. Nothing more.
You're right, there are multiple ways to read it. I understood that the sentence Furthermore, an optimised version of the Parking Assistant, which thanks to additional sensors guarantees even more precise manoeuvring in parking spaces, will be on offer as from the autumn of 2015.
applied to X1 as well... and I still think by reading it ;-)
