BMW X1 overview
The X1 is the most sensible way into BMW ownership. The current car is roomier than the old one, gets a curved display running BMW's latest operating system, and offers both the sDrive18i petrol and the sDrive18d diesel. It drives with more precision than most compact luxury SUVs and the 540-litre boot makes it genuinely practical.
