Chronology
SuccessorBMW X1 (F48)

The E84 BMW X1 is a subcompact crossover SUV/C-segment model was produced from 2009 to 2015. It is the first generation model of the BMW X1 range, and was replaced by the F48 BMW X1 in mid-2015.[7]

Development and launch

2010-2011 BMW X1 sDrive20d (Australia; pre-facelift)
2011 BMW X1 xDrive20d M Sport (UK; pre-facelift)

Development of the vehicle started in 2006 as petrol prices were going up, BMW identified the need for a smaller and more efficient model in its SUV line-up. As the result, it was reported that BMW has shortened the development and pre-production time by 40 percent compared to previous X Series models.[8]

The project director of the X1, Peter Kist commented that "never before has BMW produced a model that is meant for such a wide customer range." He pointed out it is suitable for young people and older people, and as X1 is the first BMW X Series to be available in the sDrive trim (two-wheel drive), it is suitable for customers who do not need off-road capability.[8]

The E84 X1 was revealed in a near-production prototype called the Concept X1 that was revealed at the Paris Motor Show in October 2008.[9]

The final production version of the X1 is based on the same platform used in the E90 3 Series, and both have the same 2,760 mm (108.7 in) wheelbase.[10] The platform is also used in the Zinoro 1E, which is an all-electric crossover based on the X1, with a rear-mounted 125 kW (168 hp) electric motor that produces 250 N⋅m (184 lb⋅ft) of torque.[11]

The X1 is available in rear-wheel drive (marketed as sDrive), and all-wheel drive (xDrive) variants with a 40/60 rear-bias.[12]

Equipment

The X1 offers 420 L (14.8 cu ft) of cargo volume.[13] The rear seats can be folded in a 40:20:40 split and increases the storage space to 1,350 L (47.7 cu ft).[14] Standard equipment includes dual-zone climate control, parking sensors, 17-inch alloy wheels, and regenerative braking.[15] From 2012, the X1 is also offered in xLine, Sport, and M Sport trims.[16]

xDrive25i and 35i models are only available with a 6-speed automatic transmission.[17] The rest of the model range receives a 6-speed manual transmission and all models (except the sDrive20d EfficientDynamics) are optionally available with an automatic transmission.[18] 18i and 23d models receive a 6-speed automatic, while 20i, 16d, and 25d models are available with an 8-speed automatic.[19]

28i, 18d, and 20d models featured a 6-speed automatic until 2011, before being replaced by an 8-speed transmission.
