Time flies. Only 2 years after its introduction, BMW is apparently already preparing a facelift (AKA "LCI") for the popular X1 SAV. As these images show, BMW sticks to their usual facelift approach.

The front bumpers will be reworked significantly for a more sporty and wider appearance, similar to the existing M Sport package. The rear bumpers will follow the same lead with a more 'diffusor style' appearance. Head and rear lights will get new graphics (updated rear lights not yet shown in these images).

It's hard to tell for sure from these images but we wouldn't be surprised if the X1 LCI also got its side indicators moved to the rear view mirrors. The camo tape over the redesigned mirrors and the side indicators at the front quarter panels appear to be fake decals (because they're too 'flat' and placed on a different spot than before).

Expect the X1 LCI to hit dealer showroom floors in late 2012 at the earliest, which is also the estimated arrival of the X1 in the US.
