Press Release
Debut: M Sport package for the BMW X1. Simultaneously with the market launch of the new BMW X1 xDrive28i in spring 2011, an M Sport package will make its debut in this series. It will be available for all engine versions of the compact BMW X model and comprises suspension, exterior and interior components specially developed for this model. These features further enhance the vehicle’s sporty and agile driving qualities and give them a distinctive visual dimension as well. They include sports suspension calibration and 17-inch double-spoke M alloy wheels for even sharper driving dynamics. Alternatively, the M Sports package can be supplied with 18-inch double-spoke M alloy wheels. The M Sports package for the BMW X1 also features an M Aerodynamics package, door sills with the “M” logo and BMW Individual High Gloss Shadow Line trim for the side window surrounds and roof rails. Also available in conjunction with the M Sports package are the metallic exterior paint colours Alpine White, Le Mans Blue, Sapphire Black, Space Grey, Vermillion Red and Mineral White. Sports seats upholstered in cloth/alcantara, an M leather-trimmed steering wheel with multifunction buttons and an M footrest for the driver add to the driving pleasure when the BMW X1 is equipped with the M Sports package. The high-end sporty theme is capped off by a BMW Individual roof liner in Anthracite, dark cross-brushed aluminium interior trim, the M gearshift lever for vehicles with six-speed manual transmission and a leather handbrake lever gaiter. |

too much aggressive for my taste. Looks better on versions with powerful engines. I still prefer the normal version with black trims around the wheels and the X-line. Plastic look...

That interior looks awesome! However I don't really like the 6.500 rpm rev limit for the new four-cylinder engine... Was kinda hoping for 7.000! I guess I'll have to delay my dissatisfaction until a testdrive though!

too bad it makes peak horsepower at 5,000 rpm which means everything after that is just over-rev

I love that they went with the cloth/alcantara(ala E46 ZHP) and the 18" wheels look like a nice upgrade as well.

Front looks very X5M-ish... not a bad thing, but it's like a baby with a huge biceps...
