Sadly it is not hard to understand. BMW deliberately withheld the feature from the X1 despite it being build into the electronics (remember same engine is shared in a number of BMW series). The probable reasons why the feature was withheld are;
- to ensure the X1 as a base model has less driver aid functions and therefore does not compete with X3, and/or
- it is a feature that can be added at a later date to give impression of technological advance in a model facelift/revamp, or possibly
- it may not be compatible across full X1 range (for example may only work with one type of auto-box), or may be technical reasons why they do not want this being used with X1 drivetrain/gearbox.
