Although it\u2019s only a front-wheel-drive sDrive18i model, it makes up for that with the desirable M Sport Package and plenty of optional goodies. The compact crossover is finished in Alpine White metallic and rides on large 20-inch wheels (style 869).<\/p>\n<p>As it\u2019s usually the case with cars highlighted in official press shots, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2023\/02\/22\/2023-bmw-x1-sdrive18i-acceleration-test\/\">third-generation X1<\/a> comes with numerous optional features varying from adaptive LED headlights to the black Vernasca leather. It also happens to have a sunroof and a blacked-out kidney grille nicely contrasting the white body. The right-hand-drive luxury crossover (codenamed U11) posed for the camera in beautiful rural scenery.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/2023-BMW-X1-M-Sport-27.jpg\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-446152\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/2023-BMW-X1-M-Sport-27-830x552.jpg\" alt=\"2023 BMW X1 M Sport 27 830x552\" width=\"830\" height=\"552\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/2023-BMW-X1-M-Sport-27-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/2023-BMW-X1-M-Sport-27-1540x1024.jpg 1540w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/2023-BMW-X1-M-Sport-27-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/2023-BMW-X1-M-Sport-27-1536x1022.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/2023-BMW-X1-M-Sport-27-2048x1362.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/2023-BMW-X1-M-Sport-27-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of 2023 BMW X1 M Sport 27 830x552\"\/><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-medium wp-image-446152\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20830%20552%22%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/2023-BMW-X1-M-Sport-27-830x552.jpg\" alt=\"2023 BMW X1 M Sport 27 830x552\" width=\"830\" height=\"552\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/2023-BMW-X1-M-Sport-27-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/2023-BMW-X1-M-Sport-27-1540x1024.jpg 1540w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/2023-BMW-X1-M-Sport-27-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/2023-BMW-X1-M-Sport-27-1536x1022.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/2023-BMW-X1-M-Sport-27-2048x1362.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/2023-BMW-X1-M-Sport-27-300x200.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of 2023 BMW X1 M Sport 27 830x552\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>For the time being, BMW South Africa sells the entry-level X model exclusively with three-cylinder power and front-wheel drive as the sDrive18i is joined by a diesel-fueled sDrive18d. The conventionally powered models are offered alongside a fully electric <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2023\/02\/19\/bmw-ix1-individual-blue-bay-lagoon-video\/\">iX1 xDrive30<\/a>. Globally, the smallest of the X vehicles is available with an assortment of three- and four-cylinder engines and with xDrive.<\/p>\n<p>BMW intends to spice up the range later this year with the first-ever M Performance version of the X1. Likely to wear the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2023\/01\/24\/2023-bmw-x1-m35i-rainy-day-spy-video\/\">M35i suffix and carry four exhaust tips<\/a>, the hot crossover will rely on an updated B48 engine to push out a little over 300 horsepower delivered through an automatic transmission to a standard AWD system. Near the end of 2023, we\u2019re also expecting to see a cheaper iX1, possibly an eDrive20 with a single motor and FWD.<\/p>\n<p>Because the BMW Group knows variety is the spice of life, a more youthful and charismatic X1\/iX1 will take the shape of the recently teased <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2023\/03\/01\/2024-mini-countryman-teased-at-bmw-leipzig-plant\/\">2024 MINI Countryman<\/a>. It\u2019ll be made in Leipzig, Germany later this year with both ICE and EV powertrains confirmed. The X1 M35i will be complemented by a mechanically related Countryman John Cooper Works (JCW) likely due in 2024 or later.<\/p>\n<p>Source: BMW<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The new BMW X1 continues its global rollout and its latest stop was in South Africa where a photo shoot was organized with a generously equipped version.
