BMW Cuts Profit Margin Target to Just 3-5% by 2028, Will Axe 8,000 German Jobs
Sep 30, 2026The Spec'd take
Why it stands out
- Meaningfully more rear legroom and a reclining rear seat than the standard-wheelbase X1, aimed at chauffeur-driven buyers
- M Sport styling and chassis tuning included as standard on the only variant offered
- Strong standard features list for the segment: 360-degree camera, Harman Kardon audio, wireless charging, adaptive LED headlamps
Worth knowing
- Only a single variant and single (petrol) engine option, no diesel or all-wheel-drive choice unlike the standard X1 range
- Front-wheel-drive only, unlike the standard X1's available xDrive options
- Priced close to the standard X1's top diesel M Sport variant, so the extra rear space comes at a real premium
