We all used to watching Top Gear show, that particular show that everyone loved it or hated it. I personally found it extremely realistic, with all three stars of the show revealing the true identity of each car they would test out.

One of the hosts, Jeremy Clarkson was the funny guy, the laugh about guy, with a lot of ironic jokes meant to portrait the car`s he would test drive.

Also, he became famous for his crazy ideas, like creating a list of 10 “Star Cars”, with the most exquisite models to receive a star for its body styling, interior and performance characteristics. And one of the BMWs to receive a start was the gorgeous M2 Coupe.

On the other side, he also came out with a “Stinker” list designated to appoint all models that he would find…a “stinker”, and that based on the car`s looks and personality. And one of those stinkers was the present BMW X1.

He found the sec-gen BMW X1 extremely ugly, with no practicality and no personality whatsoever. More than that, the present X1 wasn’t on his favorite list as well, as it lacks self-esteem and comes with common body features also found on other models within the BMW Group.

He also hates the 2.0-liter diesel engine found under the hood, stating that the TwinPower 2-liter diesel that he drove “didn’t feel speedy”.

Also, he didn’t feel that the SUV was a genuine German car, feeling like bits of the car were made in other countries, just like Mercedes-Benz or Audi would do.

“My test car was fitted with four-wheel drive, so you might think it’d have been able to deal with a bit of muddy ground. Nope. On a short piece of level grass it was skidding about all over the place,” he also added.

Well, let`s all forget about Jeremy Clarkson and his crazy thoughts! Do you love the BMW X1 in all its generations? Leave your opinion in the comment section!

As we can depict from the pictures, the 2016 BMW X1 is looking extremely appealing and more menacing, the model being significantly bigger than the previous generation.

The 2016 BMW X1 is also standing on the company`s new UKL platform, the same used on the 2-Series Active Tourer, which basically means a front-wheel drive configuration, letting room for more powerful and higher-performance engines.

The new 2016 X1 also comes with an increased cargo capacity of 85 liters, for a total of 505 liters, but with the rear seats being folded down, the overall space stands at an impressive 1,550 liters. The space inside is also improved, dealing here with 37 millimeters more for the rear knees.

In terms of performance, the 2016 BMW X1 features wide array of engines, starting with the newly introduced 1.5-liter three- and 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinders.

The 2016 BMW X1 seen here in the photo session is packing a 2.0-liter TwinTurbo flat-four with 228 horsepower, which is enough to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.3 seconds. Enjoy the photo session with the all-new X1 and don`t forget to share your opinions with us!

The 2016 BMW X1 may not be regarded as one of the most potent SUVs from the entire BMW lineup, but it still comes with a lot of features that makes it the best family car for your daily commuting and outdoors activities.

BMW UK has recently launched a video with the 2016 BMW X1, trying to showcase the special qualities that the entry-level SUV is coming with in terms of design, space inside and technological goodies, or of the high-performance engines that make it an extraordinary vehicle.

And from my point of view, the 2016 BMW X1 is coming perhaps with the best quality-price ratio, compared to its direct competitors, the Audi Q3 or the Mercedes-Benz GLA, which are way more expensive and rather sporting the same features.

The video incites us with a simple yet incisive message: “feel free to think that you can do pretty much anything with this car, and go pretty much anywhere.” And indeed, for the money you will pay, this SUV is more than just a simple SUV.

Practicality is the main attribute that can describe the interior of the 2016 BMW X1, the cabin boasting with plenty of space for passengers and back storage spaces for luggage, along with the plethora of high-end materials and safety systems.

A generous cabin and an exquisite design language go hand in hand with the powertrain lineup under the hood, the 2016 BMW X1 proving a really powerful SUV, in almost any circumstances. We are dealing here with a 2.0-liter petrol engine with two power configurations, like 192 horsepower and 280 Nm of torque, respectively 231 horsepower and 350 Nm of torque.

The diesel comes with the same 2.0-liter mill, with three configurations: 150 horsepower and 330 Nm of torque, 190 horsepower and 400 Nm of torque, as well as 231 horsepower and 450 Nm of torque. All are hooked to a six-speed manual as well as the new eight-speed automatic transmissions, sending the power to the front or to all corners.

If we didn’t convince you that the 2016 BMW X1 is worth having in front of your house and ready for the adventure of your life time, than you`d better watch the video presentation. You might instantly fall in love with it! Cheers!
