Some promising info from John "Bimmerfest founder"
No longer a rumor. My sources at BMWNA confirm the fact that USA will have a "FACELIFTED" X1 in Model Year 2012!!

As much as I don't like it, I think it's pretty much a given that we will only receive the 8-speed auto just like Canada.

My question was really meant to be rhetorical. The only marginally reliable answer at this point is "Eventually." |

I didn't see this info posted here, apologies if I missed it. I saw this on GCF:

Yeah, just saw that (and I was wrong about X1s being made here- got confused with X3 diesels) grrrr

X4- sweet just what we need- more overpriced, overweight impractical garbage. Hey BMW you've seen Acura's ZDX sales numbers, yes? Good luck is all I can say...

It's not all bad news - SCOTT did recently "confirm" plans for a diesel X1 in the US:

We need to see an X1, way more than we needed an X4. Does someone really go shopping for the X3 and think "well, I'd like to spend about $6K more, and give up a bit of cargo room... yeah, X4 should fit quite nicely" |

2012 CR-V with AWD is getting more and more appealing vs. the not-available X1. And the E84 is getting to be a rather old chassis at this point.

I consider this other source one of my better ones so I take this as strong indication of what is coming. I waited until after Detroit (coincidently so did SCOTT) because there was some things I knew were coming out of there as well as todays' news about the M cars and X4. It is going to be a fun year.... but the X1 is coming in LCI form this Fall.

CRV using old engines and new honda chassis/tech is still not as good as BMW no matter how old it is!
