I'm still unclear on the date of the worldwide debut for the X1 turbo 4 cyl, but I would guess that if it does happen before the Canadian release date, then Canada will indeed get it as well. However, that's just my guess.
Yep, we will see. BMW don't seem to want to commit to anything yet, even for Canada. I am not sure they are decided yet either.

If I lived in NA I would be shouting to have the 2.0d engines, they are absolutely brilliant.
