2010 BMW X1 moves from snow to the track - XBimmers

Mark · 06-25-2008, 10:47 AM

Its summer time and now the BMW has moved from winter testing to the ring for some good ole fashioned track testing. The new X1 has already been confirmed to be produced in Europe (Leipzig) rather then the traditional home of BMW SAVs (Spartanburg) and so most guesses are on this car being an uber eco-friendly vehicle using engines in the 4-cylinder flavor. The emphasis should be on people moving, european style, rather then speed and sport. Expect a very mainstream car out of BMW with this model.

MotorAuthority has been able to snap some pics of the car still in body armour speeding around the ring

Bleh, looks like a shoe with wheels to me.... a roller skate I guess. I'll wait until the panels are off, but I don't think I'm going to like it.
