The recent launch of the BMW X1 was quite a extravagant do(Brunei Standard). I guess its to combat the recent flurry of launches by Nissan, Audi and Mercedes.
Having seen and tested the car, i have come to conclusion its definitely aiming at the first timer and young BMW owners. The 2.0D diesel burner pumps out a healthy torque of 350NM, which is kinda expected for Beemers nowadays. Noise insulation is rather poor, made even worse with the rumblings of this particular engine. Handling isn't all that exciting. It retains the 1series coupe sportier(stiffer) steering characteristics expect with a higher sitting position. Cabin space is good, with the trimmings and quality everyone has come to expect. Not much options included in the basic model in town.
Overall, most likely to appeal to the younger market who wants something different. Will save you a couple of bucks at the pumps but not likely to give you any excitement from driving.
