BMW, ever on the cutting edge of the marketing machete, has released some teaser pictures of the X1 on the web. Instead of these leaking out as they sometimes do, BMW themselves put them up on their FaceBook page. That says we are not too far off from seeing the first full set of official pictures.
Official camouflaged "spy" pictures of a prototype X1 are already all over the Internet after appearing a few days ago. The tiny SUV is one step down from the X3 and represents the new entry-level BMW SUV. BMW is targeting an even younger set with the X1, people who are mostly urban dwellers and probably haven't started nesting yet.
There are a few models planned for the X1 including an xDrive18i and a 177hp (130kW) xDrive20d. Higher up the model range the xDrive23d will be offered. It puts out 204hp (150kW) and 400Nm of torque. It also runs from 0 - 60mph in 7.3 seconds and realises a top velocity of 223km/h. BMW's xDrive AWD system is fitted but there's speculation that baseline models will feature RWD.
European deliveries will start in autumn which means the vehicle will appear in the metal at the Frankfurt Motor Show.

Everything you guys post is a repost. All you guys do is post everything that is on autoblog.com, egmcartech.com and worldcarfans.com. If we want to read those articles on those sites, we can go there. Just post original stuff guys.
Less ppl would see it.
also alot of ppl can not see these website at work, only this forum.

that said, based on your logic there is no place for jokes on this forum, as i can go to jokes.com and read them myself. additionally, I dont need to see a video of an M5 racing a F1 car because i can go to youtube and search for it myself if i wanted to see it.
it is more of a "hey cool, look what i found, i will share this with the e60 community, as their intersests are similar to mine with regards to cars"
i would imagine most people appreciate it, as i appreciate a good joke or a video of a guy in a 7 series flipping over while doing a burnout. i would imagine that the OPs of those threads didnt make the video or write the jokes.
not trying to be a dick, just trying to make a point
