There's not much to see in the teaser, just a very dimly lit shot of the vehicle that will slot below the pugnacious X3. A little Photoshoppery doesn't shed much more light, but it does make the profile more clear. When we finally see the X1 in Paris, it will likely resemble a stubby shrunken X5. No word on whether or not it'll drive like the supersonic aircraft that originated the moniker. <br /><br />[Source: <a href="http://www.4wheelsnews.com/bmw-releases-second-teaser-of-the-x1-concept/">4wheelsnews</a>]<br /><br /><h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href=http://www.4wheelsnews.com/bmw-releases-second-teaser-of-the-x1-concept/>Read</a> | <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/09/30/bmw-releases-second-x1-teaser/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/forward/1327555/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/09/30/bmw-releases-second-x1-teaser/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a>

BMW Concept X1 arrives early on web

<div align="center"><strong><e m><small>Click above for gallery of the BMW Concept X1</small></em></strong><br /></div> <br />If the BMW X3 isn't ugly or space-inefficient enough for you, here's the Concept X1, which is a lightly veiled version of the production soft ute you'll see in BMW dealers shortly. Yeech. We can't fathom how it's going to be that much different than the X3, seeing as BMWs famliy tree among 1 and 3 series vehicles is starting to look as inbred as English Aristocracy, but we're going to go way out on a limb and suggest that it's a little tighter in most dimensions while sharing powertrains. Styling-wise, as long as you ignore anything forward of the A-pillar, you'll be okay. It's largely standard BMW fare, just scaled down. We're not quite sure what happened up front - it's bad. From the visage that's evocative of the 7 series to the oddly shaped wheel arches, it just doesn't come together, and the way the proboscis sticks out when viewing the X1's profile borders on disturbing. The most amazing thing: people will fall all over themselves to buy it. It'll definitely drive like a BMW, a redeeming trait, but we'd much rather see a 135 shooting brake. <br /><br /><div class="postgallery"><p><s trong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/bmw-x1-concept/">BMW X1 Concept</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/bmw-x1-concept/1066257/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/09/00_bmwx1conceptleak_thumb nail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/bmw-x1-concept/1066254/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/09/01_bmwx1conceptleak_thumb nail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/bmw-x1-concept/1066255/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/09/02_bmwx1conceptleak_thumb nail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/bmw-x1-concept/1066256/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/09/03_bmwx1conceptleak_thumb nail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/bmw-x1-concept/1066258/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/09/04_bmwx1conceptleak_thumb nail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><br />[Source: <a href="http://www.xbimmers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=175032"> Bimmerpost</a>]<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/09/30/bmw-concept-x1-arrives-early-on-web/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/forward/1329420/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/09/30/bmw-concept-x1-arrives-early-on-web/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a> أكثر... |
Officially Official: BMW Concept X1
<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/conceptcars/" rel="tag">Concept Cars</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/paris-motor-show/" rel="tag">Paris Motor Show</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/crossovers-cuvs/" rel="tag">Crossovers/CUVs</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/bmw/" rel="tag">BMW</a></p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/bmw-x1-concept/1067023/"><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="1" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/10/00_bmwconceptx1_opt.jpg" alt="" /></a><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"><small>Click above for high-res gallery of the BMW Concept X1</small></span><br /></div> <br />After last night's <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/09/30/bmw-concept-x1-arrives-early-on-web/">impromptu unveiling of the BMW Concept X1</a> set off Dan's gag reflex, the Munich-based automaker has released the first batch of official info and images of its premium compact CUV. Most of us here at Autoblog echo Dan's sentiment that the Concept X1 is an ugly duckling, with very odd proportions for such a small CUV. The front end wears the new swollen nose first seen on the new 7 Series, while squared off wheel surrounds and lots of pinched surfacing reminds us of what we didn't like about the Bangle-era of BMW design. We also think BMW's X line of SUVs and CUVs is getting a little crowded with the X5 and X3 recently joined by the X6 and soon a production version of the X1. We have to see them side by side, but the Concept X1 and current X3 look too close for comfort in size and purpose. Check out the official press release from BMW after the jump where the brand tries to explain the design details of the Concept X1, as well as the new, high-res gallery below and a new video after the jump. We'll have live shots of the Concept X1 from the floor of the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/Paris-Motor-Show/">Paris Motor Show</a> tomorrow, and we hope more details on the concept's mechanicals.<br /><br /><div class="postgallery"><p><s trong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/bmw-x1-concept/">BMW Concept X1</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/bmw-x1-concept/1067023/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/10/00_bmwconceptx1_thumbnail .jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/bmw-x1-concept/1067037/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/10/01_bmwconceptx1_thumbnail .jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/bmw-x1-concept/1067036/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/10/02_bmwconceptx1_thumbnail .jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/bmw-x1-concept/1067035/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/10/03_bmwconceptx1_thumbnail .jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/bmw-x1-concept/1067026/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/10/04_bmwconceptx1_thumbnail .jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><br />[Source: BMW]<p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/10/01/officially-official-bmw-concept-x1/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Officially Official: BMW Concept X1</em></a></p><h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/10/01/officially-official-bmw-concept-x1/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/forward/1329908/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/10/01/officially-official-bmw-concept-x1/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a> أكثر... |
Paris 2008: BMW X1 concept

<div align="center"><em><stron g><small>Click above for a high-res gallery of the BMW X1 concept</small></strong></em><br /></div> <br />We're trying to find some redeeming qualities in the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/10/01/officially-official-bmw-concept-x1/">BMW X1 concept</a>, but after staring at it on the show stand and navigating our way through BMW's lengthy press release (after the jump), we're at a loss.<br /><br />Built atop the 3-series platform and likely motivated by a handful of gasoline and diesel powerplants when it hits the road next year, the X1 has all the charm of the X3 (as in very little), will feature similar interior dimensions to its lower-riding cousin, the 1-series five-door, and has to make due with the new 7-series' upright schnoz.

BMW kills X7 to focus on X1 and MINI SAV
<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/crossovers-cuvs/" rel="tag">Crossovers/CUVs</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/bmw/" rel="tag">BMW</a></p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/mini-crossover-concept/1029036/"><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="1" alt="" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/10/mini_crossover_210op.jpg" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/bmw-x1-concept/1066257/"><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="1" alt="" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/10/00_bmwx1conceptleak_210op .jpg" /></a><br />
<div align="center"><em><stron g><small>Click either image for a high-res gallery</small></strong></em><br /></div> <br />For better or worse, the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/10/02/paris-2008-bmw-x1-concept/">BMW X1 "concept"</a> and <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/10/02/paris-2008-mini-crossover-concept/">MINI Crossover</a> are destined for production. BMW CEO Norbert Reithofer maintains that both models will do well in these economic and fuel-conscious times, but the X7 - originally slated for production in 2013 - has been killed due to the CUV's inability to "generate sufficient growth," according to <em>Automotive News</em>.<br /><br />The MINI is expected to hit the market in 2010, while the X1 will arrive in the U.S. later that year or in early 2011. While Reithofer admits that the X6 is a niche vehicle, he contends that the X1 has the ability to be a more mainstream player in the market. To which we ask: how? While a biggie MINI may be a contradiction in terms and execution, the crossover at least has some nostalgia and style on its side. On the other hand, the X1 doesn't seem to bring much to the table and risks cannibalizing sales of its slightly large sibling (X3) and even a few 3-series wagon buyers - if it even sells in the first place.<br /><br /><div class="postgallery"><p><s trong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/bmw-x1-concept/">BMW Concept X1</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/bmw-x1-concept/1067023/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/10/00_bmwconceptx1_thumbnail .jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/bmw-x1-concept/1067037/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/10/01_bmwconceptx1_thumbnail .jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/bmw-x1-concept/1067036/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/10/02_bmwconceptx1_thumbnail .jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/bmw-x1-concept/1067035/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/10/03_bmwconceptx1_thumbnail .jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/bmw-x1-concept/1067026/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/10/04_bmwconceptx1_thumbnail .jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><br /><div class="postgallery"><p><s trong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/mini-crossover-concept/">MINI Crossover Concept</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/mini-crossover-concept/1029028/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/09/01_mini_crossover_high_th umbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/mini-crossover-concept/1029033/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/09/02_mini_crossover_high_th umbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/mini-crossover-concept/1029035/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/09/03_mini_crossover_high_th umbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/mini-crossover-concept/1029029/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/09/04_mini_crossover_high_th umbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/mini-crossover-concept/1029036/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/09/05_mini_crossover_high_th umbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><br />[Source: <a href="http://www.autonews.com/article/20081006/ANA03/810060360/1130">Automotive News</a> - Sub.

BMW M3 could campaign in 24 hours of Le Mans

<div align="center"><strong><e m><small>click above to view more high-res live shots of BMW M3 ALMS race car</small></em></strong><br /></div> <br />When it comes to racing, diversity is key. Who doesn't love to root for their favorite brand to win against its fiercest rivals? We hope that BMW gets its <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/07/29/bmw-m3-facelift-revealed/">latest M3</a> certified by the FIA in time for a showdown against with <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/09/09/corvettes-back-in-alms-in-2009-with-gt1-and-gt2-programs/">the Corvette</a> and others in Le Mans GT racing, which will institute a new set of rules for the 2010 season. There's more than one way to get horsepower from a V8 engine, as clearly demonstrated by these two diametrically opposed class competitors. Team Corvette's brute strength and low-down grunt would go up against finesse and high-strung reviness from BMW. Kinda reminds us of the classic Ford versus Ferrari feuds of the '60s. In any case, BMW now needs to work with the FIA to get its racer properly sanctioned and approved, as it has <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/06/chicago-2008-bmw-back-in-alms-with-rahal-letterman-racing-m3/">already done</a> for the American Le Mans racing series.

Neiman Marcus nabs first 2009 BMW 7 Series
<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/carbuying/" rel="tag">Car Buying</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/sedans/" rel="tag">Sedans/Saloons</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/bmw/" rel="tag">BMW</a></p><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="1" alt="" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/10/nmo3607_mp_opt.jpg" /><br /><br />Those who do their daily shopping within the pages of the <a href="http://www.neimanmarcus.com/store/sitelets/christmasbook/christmasbook.jhtml">Neim an Marcus Christmas Book</a> will be the first able to purchase the new 2009 BMW 7 Series beginning October 17th. The price of early adoption in this case will be a steep $160,000 for one of 31 Neiman Marcus Limited-Edition 2009 BMW Individual 7 Series sedans based on the new 750Li. While that price is tens of thousands above what we expect the 7 Series base price to be, buyers will get much more than just the car. Included in the asking price is a trip to Europe to take delivery of the special 7 Series at BMW's headquarters in Munich, after which buyers will tour the south of France in their new sedan. After the fun and frolicking, BMW will have the car shipped back to the U.S. for you. And, of course, you aren't just purchasing a standard 7 Series. Each model has been customized by BMW Individual and painted in a special Diopside Black metallic color with an interior stitched in Champagne Merino leather and accented with wood and Piano Black inserts. Is all that worth 160 large? That depends on how nice you want Christmas to be this year.<br /><br /><div class="postgallery"><p><s trong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2009-bmw-7-series-3/">2009 BMW 7 Series</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2009-bmw-7-series-3/901911/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/07/2009bmw7_1280_17_thumbnai l.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2009-bmw-7-series-3/901919/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/07/2009bmw7_1280_18_thumbnai l.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2009-bmw-7-series-3/901925/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/07/2009bmw7_1280_19_thumbnai l.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2009-bmw-7-series-3/901923/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/07/2009bmw7_1280_16_thumbnai l.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2009-bmw-7-series-3/901920/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/07/2009bmw7_1280_02_thumbnai l.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><br />[Source: BMW, <a href="http://www.neimanmarcus.com/store/sitelets/christmasbook/fantasy.jhtml?cid=OCBF9_N MO3607&cmcat=Christmas&ic id=NMCBpageF81">Neiman Marcus</a>]<p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/10/08/neiman-marcus-nabs-first-2009-bmw-7-series/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Neiman Marcus nabs first 2009 BMW 7 Series</em></a></p><h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/10/08/neiman-marcus-nabs-first-2009-bmw-7-series/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/forward/1335617/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/10/08/neiman-marcus-nabs-first-2009-bmw-7-series/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a>
