The X1 will serve as a cheaper entry point into the brand as well as a new X model in a new market segment.
Well suited to the American market, this particular prototype has an automatic transmission.
We expect to see the X1 debut in Frankfurt 2009 and arriving in showrooms in 2010. To be built in BMWs Leipzig plant in Germany, the X1 is based on the 1 Series E87 platform and is expected to come in at around €32,000 in Germany.
