Encountered a BMW X1M on a high-speed road with four exhausts leaking its identity

The pallet truck that I encountered was carrying a new generation of X1 test vehicles (covered in heavy camouflage), and the exhaust actually adopted a two-sided four-out configuration: because only the M model (true · M, non-M surrounded) uses four-out exhaust.

It makes people It is suspected that BMW is trying to introduce the M model to this entry-level front-wheel-drive SUV, competing with the RS Q3 and GLA 45 of its partners-the latter is widely sought after and lucrative, and it is impossible for BMW not to be tempted.

The new generation X1 is expected to be put into production in July next year. It is said that the central control display and instrument panel will use the most fashionable design language, such as curved displays from iX and i4.

Although the front-wheel-drive BMW still has controversy, the market performance of the X1 is obvious to all, and BMW can compete with non-luxury brand SUVs. If the company is determined to introduce M models for the X1 car series, it will make up for the last shortcoming of the front-drive car series, which can not only suppress the opponent in the mid-end product line but also provide a complete product line in the entry-level SUV field.

There is only one small question, can X1M owners join the M Club? It is said that the lowest threshold of AMG organizations is only GLA 45.
