Introducing the Updated 2020 BMW X1 LCI

psuibmw · 05-28-2019, 09:29 PM

The interior is what really needed an update not the exterior

L27 · 05-28-2019, 09:29 PM

It looks nice, the grill looks good too (see BMW? when the grill is not huge, it looks good!), although I still don't like the kidneys to be connected..but still, it does look good

the white part in the rear lights looks a bit.. odd.. I wish they kept the old rear lights..
LCI doesn't mean you have to change everything

Overall, a very nice looking SUV

I took both pictures from netcarshow

Fair enough. There's just something about the Q3 exterior that is a big turn off to me. I can't quite put my finger on it.

To each their own!

The Nav screen is 10.25"...

Pyrat 2 · 05-28-2019, 09:51 PM

They did it again. Took a perfectly good looking X1 and made it ugly with their new corporate image humongous grill.

Zanity · 05-28-2019, 09:52 PM

The smallest X model grill they make is still too big... The next gen BMW SUVs will lose to audi and merc big time with these horrendous design.

Where are you seeing this? I was hoping for some update to the nav/infotainment but this is the most official sounding thing we've got and it still says 8.8... it definitely does look bigger in these pics than the old 8.8 though! I hope you're right!

Why would they give it all that before the x3?

Looks like you might be right on this. The "future vehicle" page says it has a standard 8.8" screen, so the upgrade should be the 10.25" one! https://www.bmwusa.com/future-vehicl...le/bmw-x1.html

stein_325i · 05-28-2019, 11:23 PM

Found a picture on BMW's website of the M-Sport front fascia. Looks like Misano Blue is now available on the X1. I think it looks a little too similar to the X5's front end and doesn't match the vehicle as well.

For the first time ever, I think I like the X-Line's appearance over M-Sport.

I was looking for that too. It's only 2020 after all...

I think the LCI taillight is a throwback to the F15. Makes it look more modern imo.

Too bad still no auto hold for the LCI, guess i’ll get a Q3 when my lease ends

Bahn360Photo · 05-29-2019, 12:29 AM

Why no engine upgrade

Yeah, these grills don't look horrible. I think the wider and more horizontal the grill is, the better it looks compared to the vertical buck teeth grills. I really can't stand the x7 grills. Also agree with you on the taillights. The white part reminds me of the f15 x5, but it looks a bit off on the x1.

PARTS@STBMW · 05-29-2019, 01:33 AM

Wonder what the M-Sport will look like.

Ramos · 05-29-2019, 01:55 AM

So the sport seats are not standard again?
My biggest complaint with our X1 is the short crappy seats that leave your legs hanging, and not that tall!

JF01 · 05-29-2019, 02:39 AM

Don't you have a local production in Spartanburg? Or all the X1s you get only from Germany?

KSERGEI-BY · 05-29-2019, 03:10 AM

Im ok with a new gril, but as ppl already mantioned:
-no digital dash
-no autohold
and interior looks dated comparing to the new 1 series.

It is a strange LCI, and to be honest - I would chnage mine for the LCI for free, but not willing to pay anyhing for the corporate style change and couple of tweaks.

Because the X3 hasn’t had its LCI.

MikesBMW · 05-29-2019, 04:41 AM

I prefer the look of the pre-LCI. The 2017 X1 I currently own is the best all around practical vehicle I've ever had. Going to keep it a long long time.

I would like those slightly larger exhaust tips on the LCI though. Any ideas yet if those can be swapped out? Are they clip ons that can be pulled off like the F25 X3?

Jorix · 05-29-2019, 05:16 AM

New front looks nice, but that's all that LCI really is. No regrets at all for buying the pre-LCI, especially if they bump up the price much for this.

Best part of the refresh is the new shifter.
