BMW X1

[Adz The Rat]

I didnt even know these existed until I saw one on the M65 this evening after work.

My god, how the hell did that ever get allowed out of the factory??

Its just looks like a 1 series on the wrong suspension, completely pointless.

But wait there's more! If you pay extra you can have it in brown with a hideous wood and a black/yellow interior on the base model, yours for a shade over £24,000

BMW have created a crossover thing that actually isn't a crossover at all, Ford have done it much better with the Edge/Flex IMO.

Oops!

Well it was still ugly enough to deserve a post I think

[Mr.Jimbo]

To be fair, that picture isn't an X1, its a photoshop of, among other things, a 1 series hatchback.

Ah, I just searched BMW X1 on Google images.

Has anyone seen the Mercedes equivalent ? Best way to describe it it's a amg turd on wheels

Not sure how long they've been out for (some time, I think?) but I only saw one in the flesh for the first time in a car park a couple of weeks ago and thought it looked OK. Just the job for Mum's to get around today's pot-hole and speed-bump infested roads.

Mercedes GLK is X3 equivalent. Seems it's unlikely they'll do it in RHD for the same reason we can't get the Mercedes saloon in 4WD - the forward drive shaft gets in the way of the steering column. MB has talked about re-engineering this for years, but it's never materialised.

I think am going to
Rediculess niche now, not a chance it can properly offroad either.

Erm, it doesn't look like that, looks like this:

I followed a brown one along today. God it's awful!



In fairness it's hideous even in tasteful blue!
