  <strong>Media Information </strong></p>
<p>01 October 2015</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>The all-new BMW X1. </strong></p>
<p>
  <strong>Urban all-rounder delivers boundless driving pleasure. </strong></p>
<p>
  <strong>Singapore. </strong>BMW Group Asia and Performance Motors Ltd
  have unveiled the all-new BMW X1, which will be retailing as the BMW
  X1 sDrive20i.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>“The all-new BMW X1 is the successor to the model that blazed the
  trail for this class of car. The second generation of this successful
  model, with more than 730,000 units sold worldwide, takes to the stage
  with a body design straight out of the BMW X model mould. The interior
  of the all-new BMW X1, meanwhile, offers significantly more space for
  passengers and luggage, a cutting-edge premium ambience and
  functionality grounded in solid engineering,” said Mr Anutarasoti
  Sethipong, Corporate Affairs Director of BMW Group Asia. “The all-new
  BMW X1 further comes with the new-generation four-cylinder engines and
  a newly developed chassis technology all help to palpably enhance
  sporting ability and ride comfort compared to the outgoing model, with
  fuel consumption and emissions reduced by up to 10 percent, model-on-model.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>New engine family. </strong></p>
<p>
  <strong>Powered by EfficientDynamics technology. </strong></p>
<p>The all-new BMW X1 sDrive20i uses all-new powertrain and chassis
  technology to build systematically on the compact BMW X model’s
  stand-out position as the epitome of versatile sporting ability in its
  segment. Front/transverse-mounted four-cylinder engines from the BMW
  Group’s latest generation provide the power, which is converted into
  dynamic propulsion on the road and assured driving pleasure on loose
  terrain via an advanced front-wheel-drive configuration.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The all-new BMW X1 sDrive20i is powered by a 2.0-litre four-cylinder
  petrol unit that can deliver maximum power of 192 hp (+4% vs
  predecessor) and a maximum torque of up to 280Nm (+4% vs predecessor)
  from 1,250 to 4,600 rpm. It is able to accelerate from 0-100km/h in
  7.7 seconds. It has an average fuel consumption of 6.1 litres/100km
  (improved by 9% vs predecessor) and an average CO2 emission of 141
  g/km (improved by 10% vs predecessor) [as per average EU test cycle].</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>New sophisticated chassis technology. </strong></p>
<p>
  <strong>Optional Variable Sports Steering and Dynamic Damper Control. </strong></p>
<p>The chassis technology of the original X1 has been totally
  redeveloped for the new model and now comprises single-joint strut
  suspension at the front and a multi-link rear axle. Aluminium swivel
  bearings, as well as axle carriers and control arms made from
  high-strength steel, reduce weight and increase the rigidity of the
  front axle, which in turn helps to ensure an agile turn-in response
  and direction-changing precision. The rear axle also employs a high
  proportion of high-strength steels. Tube-shaped anti-roll bars at the
  front and rear axle, innovative axle mounting and specially tuned
  elastokinematics contribute to the agility and ride comfort of the
  all-new BMW X1, as do the connection of the dampers to the body via
  sophisticated three-way support mounts.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The all-new BMW X1 is equipped as standard with Servotronic
  speed-sensitive steering assistance, while a new item on the options
  list is Variable Sports Steering. This system allows parking and
  turning-off manoeuvres to be completed safely and comfortably with
  little steering effort and at higher speeds drivers can also look
  forward to the steering precision and straight-line stability for
  which BMW is renowned. M Sport suspension is furthermore available as
  a special option, featuring a distinctly tauter spring and damper
  setting and a 10-mm-lower ride height.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Another option available for the first time in the BMW X1 is the
  Dynamic Damper Control system. The electronically controlled dampers
  improve the primary and secondary ride of the new BMW X models and
  sharpen their dynamic attributes. Two damper control settings can be
  activated using the Driving Experience Control switch.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Driving Experience Control switch on the centre console allows
  the driver to give the car’s set-up an even sportier, more
  comfort-oriented or efficiency optimised character. Calling up
  COMFORT, SPORT or ECO PRO mode at the touch of a button adapts the
  responses of the accelerator pedal and steering. The shift
  characteristics of the automatic transmission and the damper settings
  are also adjusted if the relevant equipment has been specified.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>ECO PRO mode, when activated via the Driving Experience Control
  switch, also allows drivers of the all-new BMW X1 models with
  eight-speed Steptronic transmission to make use of the coasting
  function. At speeds between 50 and 160 km/h, the powertrain is
  disengaged as soon as the driver takes his or her foot off the
  accelerator. Further efficiency gains have been achieved with items
  including reduced-friction wheel bearings and tyres with lower rolling resistance.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The DSC stability system includes features such as the Anti-lock
  Braking System (ABS), Dynamic Traction Control (DTC), Cornering Brake
  Control (CBC), Dynamic Brake Control (DBC), Brake Assist system,
  Fading Compensation, a Dry Braking function and a Start-Off Assistant.
  Other technology available to customers includes the trailer
  stabilisation function, Active Differential Brake (ADB) function and
  Performance Control. When DSC is deactivated, an electronic locking
  function for the front axle differential – known as Electronic
  Differential Lock Control (EDLC) – comes into play. In tight corners
  it stops a spinning wheel as required and ensures power is diverted to
  the other wheel.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The BMW X1 sDrive20i is fitted as standard with 18-inch light-alloy
  wheels with xLine.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>On-demand cooling, optimised lines. </strong></p>
<p>Systematic improvements have also been made to the aerodynamics of
  the all-new BMW X1. Air flaps in the BMW kidney grille and the front
  apron’s lower intake can be actively shut off when the cooling
  requirement is low, reducing drag at the front of the car. The Air
  Curtains integrated into the outer air intakes channel the onrushing
  air precisely behind the front side panels, causing it to hang over
  the wheels like a curtain and thus reduce turbulence. The all-new BMW
  X1 also has smooth underbody paneling, air deflectors on the front
  wheel arches and vertical aeroblades, which form a unit with the roof
  spoiler to channel the airflow around the rear of the car to best
  effect. With the drag coefficient (Cd) of the X1 now as low as 0.29,
  depending on the model variant, the new model also leads the way in
  its segment when it comes to aerodynamics.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>Exterior: Commanding Presence, Robust Proportions. </strong></p>
<p>The large, upright BMW kidney grille, three-section lower air intake
  and characteristic “six-eyed” look formed by the twin circular
  headlights and foglamps below them are the stand-out features of the
  new model’s front end. Flared wheel arches and lines converging in an
  X-shape into the kidney grille likewise contribute to the
  authoritative presence customary of BMW X models. Standard
  specification for the all-new BMW X1 includes LED daytime driving
  lights, as well as full-LED headlights for low and high beam – which
  generate a particularly white light that is close to daylight.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>At 4,439mm long, 1,821mm wide and 1,598mm tall, the proportions of
  the all-new BMW X1 follow the Sports Activity Vehicle blueprint in
  compact form. The new car has grown most notably in height compared to
  its predecessor (+53mm), which helps to create extra space in the
  interior. Black borders on the lower edge of the body, the square
  contour of the wheel cutouts and the generous volume of the surfaces
  above them all underline the solid stature of the compact BMW X model.
  The athletic impression created by the side view is complemented by a
  model specific, dynamic wedge shape formed by the roofline,
  eye-catching character lines and window surfaces that taper towards
  the rear.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The central section of the all-new BMW X1’s rear apron rises up
  significantly, mimicking a characteristic element of the front-end
  design. When specified with the optional full-LED units, the
  two-section, L-shaped rear lights produce an even band of light. Their
  flat outline emphasises the width of the rear end, with the vertically
  arranged black aeroblades, which fit flush with the roof spoiler,
  adding sporting accents.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Customers can choose from two non-metallic and ten metallic exterior
  paint finishes for their all-new BMW X1. The Estoril Blue metallic
  shade is also offered exclusively for the M Sport model.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>Interior: A harmonious balance between driver focus and
    luxuriant elegance. </strong></p>
<p>With its fine balance of a driver-focused cockpit design and elegance
  shaped by generously-sized surfaces, the interior of the all-new BMW
  X1 fits the classic stylistic template of a Sports Activity Vehicle.
  The flat surfaces of the instrument panel and centre console controls
  angled towards the driver help them maintain unruffled control over
  the car’s progress. The controls located in the lower section of the
  centre console are surrounded by high-quality surfaces and are marked
  off from the front passenger side by a newly designed bar. The
  instrument cluster, consisting of two circular instruments and framed
  by a small binnacle, also helps the driver to focus on the driving experience.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The iDrive operating system’s Control Display comes in the form of a
  6.5-inch or, optionally, 8.8-inch freestanding monitor. The interior
  trim strip and air vents are bordered by an accent strip spanning the
  full width of the instrument panel. The interior strip and accent
  strip extend through the door panel trim, with the effect that
  occupants in all seats are surrounded by surfaces with a uniform
  material and colour structure.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The raised seating position (by 36mm in the front and 64mm in the
  rear compared to the predecessor model), increased headroom, shoulder
  room and elbow room available to all occupants inside the all-new BMW
  X1, along with the horizontal surface design in the interior, create
  generous levels of space and an ambience typical of a Sports Activity
  Vehicle. Knee room at the rear has increased by 37mm in standard
  specification and by up to 66mm with the optionally adjustable rear
  seat, while boot capacity of 505 litres represents an 85-litre
  improvement on the first-generation X1 and can be increased further to
  as much as 1,550 litres by folding down the standard 40 : 20 :
  40-split rear seat bench. A 60 : 40-split rear bench is optionally
  available with individual elements that can slide forward or back by
  up to 13cm, allowing seating comfort and storage capacity to be
  adjusted even more precisely to needs. Its individual elements can
  slide back or forwards by 13cm and the backrest angle is also
  adjustable. The folding process for the backrests can be initiated
  electrically from the boot area at the touch of a button. As an
  option, the front passenger seat backrest can also be folded down,
  further increasing variability.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>Optional Head-Up Display and Driving Assistant Plus. </strong></p>
<p>A new addition to the range of BMW ConnectedDrive features is the
  optional BMW Head-Up Display which, as in the larger BMW X models,
  projects driving-related information directly onto the windscreen. The
  all-new BMW X1 can now also be optionally specified with the Driving
  Assistant Plus line-up of the Active Cruise Control system with Stop
  & Go function, Lane Departure Warning, Traffic Jam Assistant,
  Collision Warning and Pedestrian Warning with City Braking function.
  These optional systems are complemented by an up-to-the-minute
  selection of apps allowing customers to add to the car’s comfort,
  navigation and infotainment functionality, as desired.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>BMW ConnectedDrive. </strong></p>
<p>BMW ConnectedDrive is the epitome of intelligent networking of
  driver, vehicle and the environment that raises the level of
  convenience and infotainment for the driver and passengers. It also
  enhances the safety level for both people inside a BMW vehicle and for
  those in the vicinity. Thanks to a built-in SIM card, the all-new BMW
  X1 comes fully-equipped with the full suite of BMW ConnectedDrive
  Services & Apps including BMW Online, BMW Apps as well as
  ConnectedDrive Options such as Intelligent Emergency Call, Real Time
  Traffic Information, Concierge Services, Remote Services and Teleservices.</p>

  <strong>Urban all-rounder delivers boundless driving pleasure.</strong></p>
<p>
  <strong>The new BMW X1.</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>The new BMW X1 – the successor to the model that blazed the trail for
  this class of car – treats the premium compact segment to an even more
  potent shot of Sports Activity Vehicle DNA. The second generation of
  this successful model, more than 730,000 units of which have now been
  sold, takes to the stage with a body design straight out of the BMW X
  model mould. The interior of the new BMW X1, meanwhile, offers
  significantly more space for passengers and luggage, a cutting-edge
  premium ambience and functionality grounded in solid engineering.
  Four-cylinder engines from the BMW Group’s latest generation of power
  units, an efficiency-optimised version of the BMW xDrive intelligent
  all wheel-drive system and newly developed chassis technology all help
  to palpably enhance sporting ability and ride comfort compared to the
  outgoing model – with fuel consumption and emissions reduced by up to
  17 per cent, model-on-model.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Alongside its market-leading dynamics and efficiency, a host of
  innovative equipment features also help to secure the new BMW X1 its
  stand-out position in the segment. Among the items on the options list
  are full-LED headlights, Dynamic Damper Control, the BMW Head-Up
  Display and the Driving Assistant Plus system.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>A typical BMW X model: sturdy proportions, impressive
    variability and established premium characteristics.</strong></p>
<p>Rugged proportions, a powerful presence and dynamic lines lend the
  new BMW X1 a commanding appearance and highlight its status as the
  youngest member of the BMW X model family. The new model has grown in
  height compared to its predecessor (+53 millimetres), which has helped
  increase the spaciousness of the interior. And its significantly
  raised seating position (+36 millimetres at the front, +64 millimetres
  at the rear) optimises the driver’s view out over the road.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Knee room in the rear has increased by 37 millimetres in standard
  specification and by up to 66 millimetres with the optionally
  adjustable rear seat, while the 505-litre boot capacity is 85 litres
  larger than that of its predecessor. Folding down the standard-fitted
  40:20:40 rear seat backrest, which can also be specified in
  angle-adjustable form as an option, allows load capacity to be
  expanded to as much as 1,550 litres. The optional folding front
  passenger seat backrest and a rear seat bench which can slide 13
  centimetres fore and aft offer additional variability.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The interior design of the new BMW X1 combines the driver-focused
  cockpit design that has become a hallmark of the brand’s models with
  touches promoting authoritative, SAV-style driving pleasure and a
  contemporary premium ambience. Standard equipment includes air
  conditioning, an audio system with USB and AUX-in sockets, and the
  iDrive operating system, whose 6.5-inch display is integrated into the
  instrument panel in freestanding monitor form. Meanwhile, the
  Advantage, Sport Line, xLine and M Sport packages available as an
  alternative to standard specification open the door for targeted individualisation.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>New generation of engines, efficiency-optimised xDrive
    all-wheeldrive system.</strong></p>
<p>The second-generation BMW X1 (fuel consumption combined: 6.4–4.1
  litres/100 km [44.1–68.9 mpg imp]; CO2 emissions combined: 149–109
  g/km) lines up with an all-new selection of engines. Two petrol and
  three diesel units will be available from launch in October 2015, all
  of which have four cylinders and are members of the BMW Group’s new
  engine family.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Outputs range from 110 kW/150 hp to 170 kW/231 hp. The engines link
  up with either a six-speed manual gearbox or an eight-speed Steptronic
  unit, both of which are new developments.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The xDrive intelligent all-wheel-drive system also takes its place in
  the new BMW X1 in a further developed form. The weight-saving, compact
  and efficient system uses an electro-hydraulically controlled
  multi-plate clutch to distribute drive between the front and rear axle
  just as required for the situation at hand.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Joining the fray in the BMW X1 sDrive20i and BMW X1 sDrive18d,
  meanwhile, is a front-wheel-drive construction which has been
  developed to deliver the driving dynamics typical of the brand and has
  already proved its mettle in the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer and BMW 2
  Series Gran Tourer.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>Premiere in the BMW X1: Head-Up Display and Driving Assistant Plus.</strong></p>
<p>The change of BMW X1 generations also brings significant advances in
  the field of intelligent connectivity. A new addition to the range of
  BMW ConnectedDrive features is a BMW Head-Up Display which, as in the
  larger BMW X models, projects driving-related information directly
  onto the</p>
<p>windscreen. The BMW X1 can now also be specified with the Driving
  Assistant Plus line-up of the Active Cruise Control system with Stop
  & Go function, Lane Departure Warning, Traffic Jam Assistant,
  Collision Warning and Pedestrian Warning with City Braking function.
  These systems are complemented by an up-to-the-minute selection of
  apps allowing customers to add to the car’s comfort, navigation and
  infotainment functionality, as desired.</p>

  CO2 emission values and the electric power consumption of new
  passenger cars is included in the following guideline: “Leitfaden über
  Kraftstoffverbrauch, die CO2-Emissionen und den Stromverbrauch neuer
  Personenkraftwagen”(Guideline for fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and
