From what I can see, UK petrol models now get a DCT with electronic shifter and the Diesel cars get a "sports" auto transmission with electronic shifter. I'm guessing the "sports" auto in the UK diesels is the Aisin, just like in your 25i, due to the higher torque whereas the 18i & 20i get the DCT.

I wonder what build dates will be LCI? I ordered an X1 a couple of months ago and it's being built this week. I'll let you know what I think about the first gen E84 X1 vs the new F48 X1. I will say that the E84 X1 x35i was a fun little SUV to drive. An I6 just isn't possible on the new platform because the engine is transversely mounted. I've had a 335i and I'm trading in a 335is DCT on this X1 so I've had some fun BMWs. I wanted a decent DD for Italy and my 335is is pretty high in miles. The dealer here won't work on the car so I decided to trade it in. I ordered an EB MSport with the premium package. It's going to cost way less in insurance, taxes, and gas here which are all insanely expensive.

The UK BMW configurator, here shows the petrol models as either having a "dual-clutch automatic transmission" (18i models) or "Sport double-clutch automatic transmission, Seven Speed" (20i models). Is that wrong? Or have they changed the set-up since you bought yours?

- new electronic shifter now comes standard in Europe, regardless of which gearbox (DKG, automatic, sport or not) you have. I wonder if the shifter is different between regular and sport model as it used to on other models. - 7 speed / DKG is for sd18i sd20i only (probably torque-limited and FWD only) |

I just ordered this weekend and the dealer told me that it should be available in the middle of September. Given shipment time from Europe I figure that I figure it should be built relatively soon after the order. |

Just looked at the BMW car configuration and it looks like BMW have changed the auto box. My X1 X line 2 litre petrol definitely has an 8 speed auto box. I believe it is based on the ZF auto box but may be an Aisin box. My car I recall was made on the 5/12/2017 and delivered on the 28/12/2017.
Great car achieving 40 to 45 mpg on a French and Swiss motorway run fully loaded. A slightly larger boot would be great. |

The 8sp AT in the F48 X1 has always been an Aisin box — no ZF because of horizontal engine layout. The 7sp DCT is a recent addition fitted to FWD/ lower torque models and is made by Getrag

This might be retrograde step in quality. VW have had an issue with the DSG auto box which I think is the same as DCT. Known not to be as reliable.
Thankful my auto box is more “traditional” with a torque converter. |

Drive is also subjective. I've driven many miles in both an F48 and an E84, both xdrive. Granted the F48 was fully loaded and the E84 a base model.
The E84 is quick and agile, however its much rougher of a ride then the F48 which does a much better job of absorbing rough roads. The E84 is quicker off the line however the F48 feels like a much faster car to drive (I have not driven the i6 E84). I don't mind the E84, however I'm glad I waited for the F48 before jumping into the X1 family. |

An M3 is rougher to drive than a standard 3 series but which one handles better. E84 center of gravity is much lower than the current X1, its 2-3 inches lower. The only reason I haven’t bought a new X1 is ride height and handling but I may check out an X2 which is closer to E84 in height and size.
