2022 BMW X1 M35i: what is it?
Like 2 Series Gran Coupe and 1 Series, the BMW X1 is now being treated to a hot version, which will be called the BMW X1 M35i.
Here we can see a test mule for the next generation of X1 out and about, which can be singled out as the hot M35i by its more aggressive body kit, alloy wheels and quad exhausts.
The next generation of X1 will also get an all-new interior, with BMW's curved dash and infotainment screen design already seen on some of its other models such as the 2 Series Active Tourer.
2022 BMW X1 M35i: what is it powered by?
There's no confirmed engine for the X1 M35i, but we'd be hugely surprised if it didn't get the same engine found in the M135i and M235i.
That means a turbocharged 2.0-litre petrol engine producing 306hp sent to all four wheels via an eight-speed automatic gearbox.
2022 BMW X1 M35i: when will it be on sale?
There's no confirmed date for the BMW X1 M35i just yet, but we expect it to be revealed early in 2022 and then on sale shortly afterwards.
2022 BMW X1 M35i: how much will it cost?
There are no confirmed prices for the BMW X1 M35i just yet, but given the rest of the X1 range currently and rivals such as the Mercedes-AMG GLA 35, we reckon around £40,000 is a sensible guess.
