ok I have to be a man and apologize as my dealer just EM me and said the following:
Hey xxxxx, Could you clarify something as I have been having a heated discussion with a few guys on the beamer forum that the X1 is not being in SC and is being made in Germany. reply: Built in Germany for now later next year moving to US So I guess the wait will be a little longer and the good news is the build will be better or at least I think so given the experience I have had in the past. Again I have been wrong before....

My X1 finished production July 21 and BMW of NA says only the dealer can track it the rest of the way. The on line information is a few days behind because it's still showing in production. The X1 is not moving production to the US, I read about every press release and blog I can find regarding BMW and have never seen any mention of X1 moving to SC. You may have it confused with the X4 which will begin production in 2013 or 2014 and it's made off the X3 guts but will be a cheaper and smaller X6 basically.

Call BMW of NA at (800)831-1117, you get an automated system but eventually just say representative. The girl I talked to actually said it was made in SC and had to put me on hold to verify Germany as the true production spot. You will need your production number.

I work for a Tier 1 BMW supplier for the X3 and X5 so I work with the SC plant frequently. There are no plans to build the X1 in the US anytime soon. It is not based off of a platform that they are tooled to build.
That being said, I saw the X1 at my dealership Friday and it moved to the top of my next car list. I have never owned a new car and I think it might be time. I was impressed with it; it reminds me of a much more refined AWD VW Golf that's just a smidge bigger which is exactly what I'm looking for. Being a converted VW guy and already owning an X5d for my wife this would make a perfect stable mate! |

After test driving both 28 and 35 xdrives, I may very well buy this sometime next year-
X1xdrive35i: deep sea blue metallic black nevada leather light fineline wood cold weather 18" style 323 wheels w/performance tires paddle shifters I think its something of a bargain for 42 even, had for under 40 I'd guess plus 500 cca rebate.
