2008 Paris Motor Show: BMW X1 Concept Unveiled!


Behold everyone, these are the first official images of the BMW X1, of course in true Munich fashion, they'll call it a Concept, but like the M3, M5, X3 'Concepts' they're all production ready cars unveiling for the first time in car shows and soon the 'Concept' word will somehow disappear and they'll appear in brochures. It seems BMW's designers had gotten the jizz of Bangle Mutant Work's essence, after having experimented with abominations like the X3, and putting fear into us imagining a 1 Series on steroids (X1); we must say we're entirely unexpected to see something this degree of good looking-ness to be presented before our eyes. The curves, the fire surfacings, the concave designs, the BMW looks, and best of all the proportions and those sweet looking 7 Series headlamps + 3 Series rear lamps (Facelifted - To be stressed) and that huge Hoffmeister Kink just all adds up giving a very dynamic, uncompromising athletic personality. Great job BMW! (Now which bin to dump the X3 into?) One thing kept lingering in my mind, even though its good looking, but can't you do better than taking an exact replica of the 7 Series' front and tug it to an exact replica to a 3 Series (facelift) wagon? Running out of ideas or time? And oh, its built on the platform of the current E90 3 Series, guessed they finally figured going too small would be pointless after all.
