Press release: The BMW X1, the very starting time and still the only premium vehicle in its segment, continues to extend its pioneering position in the field of fuel efficiency. In the autumn of 2011, the model diversity across the range of the compact all-rounder volition exist complemented by the BMW X1 sDrive20d EfficientDynamics Edition. This model, which was systematically designed to provide driving pleasance simultaneously combined with reduced fuel consumption and emission levels, is powered past a 120 kW/163 hp four-cylinder diesel engine featuring BMW TwinPower Turbo engineering science.

With an boilerplate fuel consumption of 4.5 litres/100 km and a CO2 emission level of 119 grams per kilometre it achieves best marks for efficiency in a BMW Ten model.

Furthermore, from the autumn of 2011, a newly developed iv-cylinder petrol engine with BMW TwinPower Turbo technology will exist available for the BMW X1. The 135 kW/184 hp power unit too sets new standards in the reduction of fuel consumption and CO2 emissions within its performance grade, with values ranging from seven.1 litres and 165 grams for the BMW X1 sDrive20i and 7.vii litres (automated: vii.half-dozen litres) and 179 grams (177 grams) for the BMW X1 xDrive20i.

The consistent deployment of highly efficient engines and BMW EfficientDynamics applied science fitted equally standard helps BMW X models also achieve brand-typical driving pleasure combined with exemplary fuel economic system and low emission levels. The BMW X1's outstanding efficiency is a fundamental part of its premium grapheme, which is unique within the competitive surroundings and also underscored by loftier-class workmanship, elaborated functionality, a variable interior and numerous equipment features. The BMW X1 sDrive20d EfficientDynamics Edition raises the relation between sporty and athletic agility and fuel economy to a new level. Its 2-litre four-cylinder diesel fuel engine, whose BMW TwinPower Turbo applied science comprises a supercharging system with variable turbine geometry and Common Rail injection, generates a maximum output of 120 kW/163 hp betwixt 3 250 und 4 200 rpm. Maximum torque of 380 Nm is available between ane 750 and 2 500 rpm.

The engine has been optimised in item in order to achieve an exceptionally high degree of efficiency. Special model-specific features include a centrifugal force pendulum in the dual-mass flywheel, which compensates vibration experienced at low engine speeds, thus providing more riding comfort when the vehicle is driven within the economical low engine speed range. The gear-shift betoken indicator fitted as standard has been adapted to suit the new engine characteristics. Moreover, standard features likewise include brake energy regeneration, Automobile Kickoff Stop function, electromechanical power steering, a disengageable air conditioning compressor and tyres with reduced rolling resistance. The BMW X1 sDrive20d EfficientDynamics Edition also features a longer rear axle drive ratio and specific light alloys in the Streamline pattern.

Furthermore, the BMW X1 sDrive20d EfficientDynamics Edition features newly conceived insulation applied science for reducing engine racket that is perceptible within the vehicle. The noise optimisation measures volition be deployed equally from the fall of 2011 in all further diesel versions of the BMW X1.

The petrol engine variants of the BMW X1 as well present themselves equally pacesetters for ever-increasing driving pleasure combined with optimised efficiency. The BMW X1 xDrive28i is now being followed by further models featuring a new generation of 4-cylinder combustion engines with BMW TwinPower Turbo applied science. The technology package featured on the 2-litre four-cylinder power unit for the BMW X1 sDrive20i with rear-wheel drive and the BMW X1 xDrive20i with intelligent four-bike drive comprises a supercharging organisation according to the Twin Scroll principle, the directly injection arrangement High Precision Injection and variable valve command VALVETRONIC. This combination guarantees not only spontaneous response and sporty ability delivery even in the higher load ranges, just also favourable fuel consumption that is outstanding for petrol engines in this performance class.

Maximum power output of the new engine is 135 kW/184 hp, which is made bachelor between five 000 and 6 250 rpm, whilst maximum torque of 270 Nm is accomplished between ane 250 and iv 500 rpm. Thanks to its supreme pulling power and sporting operation, the BMW X1 sDrive20i accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 7.4 seconds and the BMW X1 xDrive20i in 7.8 seconds. Boilerplate fuel consumption of vii.1 litres/100 km every bit per the European union test cycle and a CO2 emission level of 165 grams are applicable to the BMW X1 sDrive20i both in conjunction with the standard half dozen-speed manual gearbox equally well every bit with the optional eight-speed automatic transmission. The BMW X1 xDrive20i achieves an average fuel consumption of 7.7 litres/100 km (automated: 7.6 litres) and a CO2 emission level of 179 (177) grams per kilometre. The standard BMW Efficient Dynamics technology bundle featured on both models comprises in improver to brake free energy regeneration and on-demand control of ancillary components also the Auto Showtime Stop function and the gear-shift betoken indicator for vehicles with transmission transmission as well as electromechanical power steering on the BMW X1 sDrive20i.

With the introduction of the new engines, the bulldoze portfolio of the BMW X1 will increase in the autumn of 2011 to a full of three petrol and four diesel fuel power units with a power output spectrum ranging from 105 kW/143 hp to 180 kW/245 hp. All told, in that location is a choice of 10 model variants, five of them featuring characteristic BMW power transmission to the rear wheels and five with the electronically controlled four-wheel drive system xDrive.

The entry-level model from the BMW X family attains boosted entreatment through optimisation of the suspension technology as well as an extended range of optional equipment. The standard stability command feature DSC (Dynamic Stability Control) has been supplemented on the rear-wheel bulldoze diesel models by the dry out braking and fading compensation functions. The models BMW X1 sDrive20i, BMW X1 sDrive28i, BMW X1 xDrive20i, BMW X1 xDrive28i and BMW X1 xDrive20d are equipped in addition with the restriction stand-by function and a hill-start assistant. The BMW Individual roof rails arrangement High Gloss Shadow Line will as well be bachelor in time to come as an individual option and thus not just in conjunction with the M Sport Package for the BMW X1. Moreover, the optional range of BMW ConnectedDrive features volition exist supplemented as from the autumn of 2011 past the Real-Time Traffic Data function.
