If you live between U.S. borders and the new BMW X1 is on your wishlist then you’d better skip this article. Leaving the joke aside, the Germans from BMW officially confirmed that X1 E84 will debut this year in Canada while there are no details about the U.S. debut of the smallest X model in range.

The BMW X1 is built in Germany at Leipzig alongside models such as the 1 Series, actually, the two models are sharing the same assembly line.

If Canada gets the new BMW X1 this year, there are not any certain details about the U.S. debut of the Bavarian compact SUV. According to some sources, the Leipzig plant can’t handle the big demand and this is the main reason of this delay.

For the beginning, the Canadian customers can opt just for the xDrive28i version which packs a four-cylinder unit developing 241 horsepower and 349 Nm of torque. The starting price for this version is $38,500 but of course this can change as you opt for different trim levels.

About in the same period of October we faced the first spy shots with the M Sport package mounted on the BMW’s X1 SAV. As we talked last time, there is likely to see no new entries in the engine range coming together with the M Sport package. As the BMW X1 M Sport prototype spied two months ago, the new one recently caught on the streets got the same camouflage treatment especially for the new M Sport parts.

The 2011 BMW X1 is expected to be revealed early next year and will be most probably launched for the U.S. market following the European debut.

The M Sport package prepared for the new BMW X1 includes the M Sport alloy wheels, front bumper, rear bumper and side skirts. Largely, the camouflaged parts are the M Sports elements for the new X1. Inside, few changes are made, a new M sport steering wheel featuring the sport package.
