BLURRED BMW X1 BEACH TEASER PIC RELEASED



If you haven’t been keeping up then here’s the latest from the house of BMW. The Bavarians are getting ready to launch their smallest SUV yet in the petit X1. If you know your sums you’ll realise that the X1 is smaller than the X3, which is smaller even than the X5. BMW was also going to produce a big X7 but those plans were killed some time in 2008 after it became apparent that the world was falling into a recession and that such a car would probably not sell very well.



Anyway, back to the X1. The picture you see here is just a teaser to whet your appetites for the car, so it is meant to be all out of focus and blurry. Either that or the photographer had other things on his mind/ in his sights.



The X1 will have a range of new engines to support it. Some of these include 1.8-litre and 2.0-litre as well as turbo diesels. I am hoping to see a new small four-cylinder petrol turbo from BMW which will hopefully replace the weak 2.0-litre naturally aspirated engine they currently have.



Europeans will get their X1 before the end of October while South Africans will have to wait until 2010 for their turn.
