The patent is for a special charging cable that reduces one of the biggest risks of fast-charging EVs: overheating. Skip to content. Lamborghini decided to prank the popular automotive influencer during a recent video in Italy. Don't get hung up on the BMW X1's bread-box shape. It's actually a small playful SUV that just happens to be practical and easy to live with.
All models come with the same hp turbocharged 2. At the same time, it's fairly efficient and delivered 29 mpg highway in our testing. Handling is crisp and the ride is refined, exactly what we expect from the BMW brand.
Not only does the X1 deliver on-road enjoyment, its large cargo area provides plenty of room for cargo and the rear seats are easy to fold flat to make room for bulkier items.

Other changes will include chassis tweaks to make the X1 handle corners with more finesse, and some visual upgrades to help you tell it apart from the standard car. Design-wise, it should be pretty similar to the current 1 Series albeit with a raised seating position. The new BMW X1 will be built using a revised version of the mechanical underpinnings that are also used in the new 1 Series and X2.
