Insidetrack june 2012: An sav born for fun: Meet the new bmw x1

THE WORLD’S BEST-SELLING SAV® COMES TO AMERICA

When BMW introduced the X1, it quickly stole the hearts of Sports Activity Vehicle® fans worldwide, with sales of more than 260,000 so far. Now this frisky five-seater is coming to America, eager to tackle everything from commutes to cross-continental treks.

The “1” in X1 means it introduces a lot of firsts. It’s the first true premium SAV in the subcompact class – and the first in its class to offer an 8-speed automatic transmission matched with the latest EfficientDynamics measures, such as Auto Start-Stop, ECO PRO mode and Brake Energy Regeneration. It’s the first BMW SAV to offer a choice of sDrive rear-wheel drive or xDrive intelligent all-wheel drive. Another first is the X1 xDrive35i, created exclusively for the U.S. market.

Discover versatile storage, such as three rear seats that independently angle back or fold down. Equip the X1 with personalizing options: BMW Lines, a double Panoramic moonroof, the latest BMW ConnectedDrive features, and BMW Apps that sync with your iPhone.®
