X1 in Malaysia

[BMW9700]

Just wondering when BMW Malaysia will be launching this models...i guess there will be a diesel model in the line up...any takes on the price of a 2.5 petrol version?looks good though..

X1

X1 looks good...even better than the X3....based on 1 series?

 

[safrul]

X1 is based on E90....they going to beefing up new X3 and X5....

Thats what i heard....anyway..cant wait to test drive this car....

initial lineup consist of 2.0 diesel with various tunes and a single 3.0 petrol. I think, later they'll slot in the 2.0 petrol...perhaps the direct injection one with 170hp, instead of the current N46 with 156 hp.

man.. because of X1, they stop X3 production.

that's not true. the next gen x3 is coming, it'll be a bigger suv, appropriately sized to be in between the x1 and the x5.

X1 is soooo perfect for me...looks real good...might be selling at rm298000 for the 2.3 petrol version

I'm really interested in this. Probably will be my next BMW. Any idea when it's releasing in Malaysia. It's on sale here in UK on the 24th of October 2009!

Here's the commercial :

Unlikely it will do well. The X3 isnt doing well in MY currently anyway. (How often do you see an X3 compared to X5 and other 4WD makes? I barely see one a week.) Being smaller than the X3, its probably going to be "too expensive for such small car" mentality by local consumers for the most part.

a pretty SUV this X1.. not really small even. with a line-up that includes X5, X6 and all-new X3, BMW could very well exit the sedan/coupe/touring car segments.

 

[GhostDriver]

Well, if it does not do well, then the ownership of an X1 will be quite exclusive then....honestly, I think this might just take off...provided it's priced right.

I for one will be waiting for the launch!

 

[pussy]

the shape of it is very refreshing and much better than the JDM makes...

 

[GhostDriver]

Expected to launch down under February 2010.

BMW Australia has already listed X1 in its line up. More here :
