For a while, BMW has pondered if it should bring the X1 to the US market. There was always the market overlap with the X3 to worry about, but since the little off-roader is a top seller in Europe it would have been a shame not to capitalize in America.
According to Bimmerpost, an inside BMW source has revealed that the X1 will make its debut at the 2012 New York International Auto Show ( NYIAS). However, it won’t just be the same vehicle seen in Europe, but what the Bavarians call a Life Cycle Impulse (LCI for short), or facelift.
The engine range will likely focus on the new 2.0-liter turbo, which will have 245 hp for the X1 xDrive28i to play with. It’s also rumored the M Performance model will be launched - an M35i xDrive, powered by a six-cylinder turbo.
