BMW X1: Sporty, stylish, not just for mom

2011 BMW X1: real sporty and practical

The all new 2011 BMW X1 is BMW latest attempt to capture that growing segment of the market that are looking for size and ability, but a little more mileage in terms of fuel efficiency. The X1 engine is a 3.0L 4-cylinder engine that puts out 241HP. This is plenty of HP for getting around the city, the daily commute, or for having a little fun on the open road. The base price of the X1 is a modest $38K, which is very competitive and should certainly trap some aspirational buyers who've long for the BMW SUV but were hesitant because of the price tag. Fully loaded, the X1 will fetch somewhere close to $60K, and as new engine are incorporated into the model you can be sure that more power will be on the menu.
