BMW will be launching their smallest SUV, the X1, in India on the 24th of this month. The BMW X1 is based on the 3-series platform and will be a CKD and will be assembled in BMW’s Chennai plant. We speculate that the X1 will come in three variants; one petrol and two diesel options.  Our cameras did not stop clicking as we saw an X1 do the rounds of Mumbai.
The corporate edition of the BMW X1 will miss out all the bells and whistles which include sunroof and CD-changer. The car will get only a single in-dash music system. The wooden bits also go missing on the Corporate Edition. The BMW X1 like the other BMWs will be a rear wheel drive. Â The high-end diesel variant will get brown and black leather upholstery while the petrol and the other diesel variant will come in beige or black upholstery.
While safety features have not being compromised on in the X1, the petrol variant will not get a USB interface and Bluetooth connectivity. Features like the Rain sensor and Xenon lights find its way only in the top-end model. The pricing too, we speculate, will be competitive and will be in the price range of 22-32 lakhs (ex-showroom Mumbai) So if you are a fan of the BMW badge, this '1' from their stable will be something to look out for.
