I would put the chances of those at 5% and 99% respectively.

Found this, ironically on the same ZA forum as the 135i Sportshatch.
It seems it has been overlooked as the car was photographed back in early March in Cape Town, BMW's most used location in media shoots for new models.

But with the LCi of the X1 , BMW are using the opportunity to keep the car , fresh and current as it still remains Europes no 1 vehicle in the SUV category.
A feat which has kept the US Market distanced from the X1 since BMW could not keep up with demand for other markets.
BMW are hoping that the X1 will continue its success in the US Market for the compact SAV.

The X1 will continue to be built in Leipzig as before but other markets such as China will soon begin to manufacture the X1 for Asian markets.

The X1 in European specification shown here is in Valencia Orange.
I am not entirely 100% sure whether the US will get Valencia Orange as the US arm of BMW M. might want to keep VO in the US exclusive to the 1er M Coupe only.

Since the X1 will also be manufactured in a new State of the art production facility that mirrors the layout of Leipzig. The next date for the new X1 after the World Premiere at the NYIAS will be at the Auto China 2012 in Beijing at the end of April.

Look out for full details next week.

For the E84, this makes sense. For the next generation model, it seems they should consider expanding Spartanburg again so they can build some of them there in order to lower costs for the US market. Just like they did with the X3 for its second generation.

I got to see the orange M6 coupe, blue M6 vert and frozen brown 6 GC up close at the VDC in Bayonne NJ last weekend. Also a frozen silver F10 M5 and frozen blue E92 M3 and a couple of frozen silver ones (what's with all the frozen pimping, it's ridiculous and impractical and I won't repeat what the paint guys at the facility had to say about it). M6 is the business, but given a choice of any car there, give me an alpine white on oyster F10 M5 6sp, sigh...just have to be patient for a couple of years.
