In Europe, the old version of the X1 28i had an inline-6 with 258hp.

While this does not prove anything, I think the implication here is more than apparent - the I6 powered X1 is no longer available and will not be made available or produced ever again (except perhaps an N55 model, of which I remain a skeptic ).
Sure, I added that reminder just in case BMW NA has different plans.
