just a thought..
what if they were to phase out the bigger engines (x5) (for the sake of our green earth) and they are transitioning to lighter vehicles...they are opting to smaller engines fitted with turbos. See the new 7 engine?
this theory doesnt really hold up though since they are planning on x5 M's lol.
granted this is better looking than the X3
and why are they competing with companies and vehicle niches that are not their bread and butter????
expansion can have negative effects long term.

i personally really like the look of this little thing .. so much so, that my M is likely to be replaced with it..
before you all shout at me, it's because the M is just not getting used.. and over here in Blitey, since owning E60's my wife has struggled with parking spcaes.. locally, they're just too small .. highlighted by the fact that i end up with little knocks and scrapes (not her fault I might add).
fed up with the worry involved in owning the M

this x1 is great looking. the x3 is gross, would much rather have this than the x3 for sure. x5 is too much for me and the fuel economy is terrible. i love the x1
like your wheels Alpine White Girl. matching mine
