Have you ever wished for something, wondering if it wasn't in vain?

Sure you have. And so you can empathize with Bert Smith BMW and others across the nation who have been pining for the X1, which upon being launched across the pond, was met with open arms.

Watching foreign markets enjoy the SAV's quintessential power, flexible cargo capacity and innate luxury was almost more than we could bear. However, just when we thought our hopes of the BMW X1 coming stateside were a lost cause, the Bavarian automaker showed us some benevolence and confirmed plans to bring the feisty X1 Sports Activity Vehicle to the US.

Slated to arrive at new BMW dealers starting this summer, it promises to make all of our dreams come true. And more…

See, BMW isn't just bringing the BMW X1 to market stateside. They've also designed our very own X1 model, which will be available exclusively in the U.S. That is the 2013 BMW X1 35i.

Engineering wise, the X1 represents the only BMW SAV to come with both all-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive. It also stands out from its class as the only vehicle to couple an 8-speed with late-breaking EfficientDynamics such as Auto Start-Stop technology. To complement these dynamic capabilities is the X1 SAV's most determined, sporty look yet.
