The all-new X1, the youngest model to join the hugely successful X Sports Activity Vehicle portfolio, comes with all of the features typical of the BMW X range, but at the same time offers a new interpretation of BMW’s Sheer Driving Pleasure.The driving characteristics of the BMW X1 offer the perfect combination of supreme agility and sportiness with an appearance of a Sports Activity Vehicle and the agility of a BMW 1 Series.   Available in Bahrain with two engine variants this five-door stands out from every angle as a BMW X model.

Versatility is one of the most significant features of a BMW X model. This
becomes evident in its handling characteristics, which combine fascinating
dynamics on the road with superior off-road traction, as well as in its body
shell concept that, thanks to generous and flexibly utilisable interior space,
meets the demands of the most diverse requirements. The BMW X1 also
convinces with a generous interior and a variety of possibilities that ensure,
as the situation demands, either a maximum degree of travelling comfort
on all seats or an increased amount of transportation space.
The five-door vehicle, which measures 4.45 metres in length, 1.80 metres
in width and 1.55 in height, provides room for up to five occupants. The
three fully utilisable rear seats offer passengers a high degree of comfort
even during longer journeys. Notwithstanding its stretched proportions,
the BMW X1 also has a remarkable degree of headroom at the back in
comparison with its rivals. Moreover, its body shell concept meets with
the highest occupant protection requirements. With a crash-resistant body
structure and comprehensive safety features, the BMW X1 fulfils the
prerequisites for achieving excellent results in the latest and most significant
crash tests worldwide.

Generous trim surfaces and dynamic lines give the interior of the BMW X1
a truly sporting and youthful appearance. The instrument panel is subdivided
by horizontal lines creating a special structure continuing into the door panels
which, by accentuating the sheer width of the vehicle, heightens the
generous feeling of space. The Control Display on the optional iDrive control
system is also finished in innovative style, blending smoothly and
harmoniously into the dashboard.
The elevated seating position so typical of the BMW X models ensures
comfortable and convenient access at all times as well as optimised all-round
visibility of traffic conditions around the car.
The special design of the centre console and the dashboard area around
the cockpit offers an appropriate reinterpretation of the driver orientation so
typical of a BMW. The first point is that through its special look and
configuration, the centre console separates the driver’s and front passenger’s
areas in visual terms. The controls for air conditioning and the audio system
are inclined slightly towards the driver.
The BMW X1 comes initially with a choice of seven body colours. The interior,
in turn, is finished in both powerful and natural colours, the wide range of
colours available giving the customer free rein in customising the car to his
own individual style.
As an alternative to the seat upholstery finished as standard in Elektra cloth,
there is also Median cloth in sporting striped design as well as Nevada leather.
Then the customer also has the choice of no less than seven trim colours and
five variants of trim bars giving the car either a very individual touch.
Yet a further special feature is the Cool Elegance Design Package available on
the BMW X1, incorporating highlights such as sports seats in Oyster-coloured
leather upholstery and black/yellow piping on the backrest as well as trim bars
in Bright Wave wood. In this case the lower section of the instrument panel
and the centre console likewise come in Oyster, as do the footmats finished
in the same colour.
A wide range of open storage boxes, trays and cupholders on the centre
console as well as large open door compartments with integrated holders
for bottles underline the functional character of the BMW X1. Through its generous dimensions, the rear-seat bench offers comfortable space for up
to three passengers.
As a further advantage the interior of the BMW X1 may be re-configured
easily and quickly whenever required to meet all kinds of transport
requirements. Loading is easy and convenient through the large tailgate,
the wide opening for the luggage compartment and the low loading sill,
even when taking along bulky objects. The backrest angle at the rear may
be adjusted in numerous stages by up to 31o – and when the backrests
are set to a vertical angle (Cargo Position), luggage compartment capacity
increases from 420 to 490 litres (14.7 to 17.2 cu ft).
Split at a ratio of 40/20/40, the rear backrest also offers many other options
and variable loading configurations: Folding down only the centre section,
for example, the driver and his passengers enjoy the benefits of a large
through-loading able to accommodate two 46-inch golf bags, four pairs of
skis or two snowboards. Folding down the rear-seat backrest completely,
on the other hand, luggage capacity increases to an enormous 1,350 litres
or 47.3 cubic feet.
A further amenity is the separate storage compartment beneath the floor
of the luggage compartment as such. Folding down the centre rear-seat
backrest alone provides a generous through-loading facility interacting
perfectly with the transport bag available as an option. And last but certainly
not least, a rear luggage rack preparation kit is also available in addition to
the roof railing.

The extremely torsionally rigid body shell of the BMW X1 is based on the
development concept of intelligent lightweight construction, which includes,
inter alia, the selective use of high and highest strength steel grades. Both
the choice of materials as well as the arrangement and geometry of bars,
struts and supports are designed to achieve maximum crash safety, but also
weight optimisation and the highest possible degree of vehicle agility. The
frontal forces unleashed in an accident are diverted through several load
paths in order spread out high collision forces and reduce load peaks acting
on the rigid occupant cell.
The interior of the BMW X1 is fitted as standard with front and side airbags
as well as side head curtain airbags for the front and rear seats. All seats
feature three-pivot automatic seat belts, the front seats being equipped
with belt force limiters and a belt latch tensioner. Furthermore, ISOFIX child
seat fastening points for the rear seats also come as standard. All occupant
restraint systems are controlled by the vehicle’s central safety electronics.
The high demands with regard to pedestrian protection are taken into
consideration by corresponding deformation zones at the front of the vehicle.
In addition, the bonnet of the BMW X1 features energy-absorbing
deformation zones as well as resilient hinge kinematics.
