The seats in the X1 and X2 are abysmal. I'm 5'8 145 pounds and the seats are still too skinny for me.

The new 2020 Audi Q3 is better than this. Ugh, that is disappointing.

Last time I drove the X1, it actually gave me a headache. Seats are horrible for skinny ppl. I wouldn't touch this car.

[GOLFFRR]

looks good, I don't see why this wouldn't be some what popular. Like I stated before in the other thread, I would def drive one, but would go black on black

The "new" shifter is actually available from MY2019 X1s. So it is not exactly part of the LCI.

Welp. That makes this a worthless LCI.

Say it ain't so! I was holding out for that model to replace my wife's family car. I know the engine is transverse mounted, but couldn't they have at least offered the same engine output as the new 330i?

I think x2 M35 is your only option. But it is a great car. Engine, brakes, suspension and sport seats - it wins over x1

I seem to recall a report that a PHEV version would come with the LCI. No word on this, yet.

I would get an M140i (current one) over X2 M35i anyday.

Not hopeful the wind noise and awful seats were fixed.

The German configurator is already up and running: https://www.bmw.de/de/ssl/configurat...F/F48/esl/new/

The press release has been updated. The U.S. will have a standard 8.8" screen and not a 6.5" screen as the original text stated.

The reports I've seen online suggest the PHEV option won't be around until March 2020...

[jfedele22]

Anddddddddd still no Blind Spot Monitoring. You're telling me they couldn't add two little radars and a computer module into this? You can buy a DIY kit on Amazon...

[Roch M4]

They finally put a decent shifter and an 8 speed gearbox

[nelsonvaz]

Been waiting for its release for a while. Now I'm sure I did the right choice by ordering the X3 . Pure disapointment this X1. Same old interior and Idrive6, exterior looks better though.

[SoCali E36]

i like the new changes. But unfortunately it still has the worst driving dynamics of any BMW currently made. It also looks like they've kept those terrible stock seats as standard.

[CP911]

This thing has better exterior styling than the new X5 and X3. What the?? Tail lamps look better than X5's and grille better than X3's. Not sure why BMW is doing this.

[M3 Adjuster]

what Lousy ad copy..

" Today, BMW announces the updated 2020 X1 Sports Activity Vehicle. Since its introduction in 2015, the X1 has gone on to become BMW’s best-selling X vehicle worldwide. In the U.S., the X1 is the third most popular X model, behind the X3 and X5.

The X1 was not introduced in 2015... ( X1 was actually introduced MUCH before these models,
as there was an E84 version)... The SECOND generation (F48) X1... was introduced in 2015....

Honesty, integrity, accuracy, and truth clearly mean little when it comes to BMW Advertising...

Of course.. . for the updated Second Gen model.. the idea of a " Launch video " is 5 years late.. but hey... marketing just got around to the fact that they have an X1 so...



And then there is the REAL marketing speak.... terms like " hexagonal iconography "

And sentences with fragments..

" The BMW xDrive system, available on the X1 xDrive28i, works with the DSC Dynamic Stability Control system to transfer power to the rear wheels when it is needed, to reduce understeer in turns, improve traction when going uphill, on slippery surfaces and during more spirited driving. "

X3 has driving assistant, digital dash, not sure about the idrive...
