X1 delayed for US market... http://blog.caranddriver.com/waiting...ed-until-fall/ more here; http://gaycarfans.com/forums/Thread-...ll-on-schedule At least they didn't drop US plans altogether... And BMW will be bringing a 4 cyl turbo engine to US shores, too! http://www.bavforums.com/community/threads/8/#post-37 |
The turbo 4 is awesome, I'm really glad to see that coming. The only thing that disappoints me is that they are referring to the engine as "28i" when it is only 2.0L displacement. I would love to see a 320i and 120i on the dealer lot. I suppose the same can be said about the N54/55 being the 35i though. |
Thanks for the link. :) I wonder if the X1 would be built in SC? |
Looks nearly like a 1 series. The 1 Series diesel is very popular here. |
nice post ...... nice sharing keep it up |
But they are giving us the POS hybrid instead of the diesel in the US from what the trade rags say... God I hate the bad science and damn Al Gore to hell... Wishing I had a TD TI... Dave |
I have seen exactly one thus far in boca Raton Florida. So there are a handful of Em kickin around |
We had to leave our 123d Coupe with the dealer for a week recently (they damaged the car at its first service and sorted it out at their panel shop at their cost of course). They lent us a new 2.3d X1 auto from the showroom. Having grown accustomed to the precision of our 1-er Coupe with its 6-sp gearbox, awesome torque and fantastic economy, the X1 left us unimpressed. Despite having the same motor the X1 felt like a slug, steered and handled like a truck, ate 40% more fuel on the highway, and had a pretty useless turning circle. Our 318ti is a more enjoyable drive despite being more than a decade older, but I guess that depends on what one expects out of a car. Unless you like the urban tractor (and if you love the 318ti, I can't see why you would), don't stress about its late arrival, it really isn't that exciting once you're behind the wheel. |
