2024 BMW X1 M35i Is Brand's Performance Compact Crossover

MANILA: At the top of the new BMW X1 range is a performance model with unmistakable M flair. The 2024 BMW X1 M35i xDrive adds the dynamism, agility, and precision for which M models are renowned to the spontaneous driving experience at the core of the compact Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV) concept.

The four-cylinder engine of the X1 M35i employs M TwinPower Turbo technology to produce a maximum of 300 horsepower in Europe and an even higher figure of 317 horsepower in the United States and other targeted markets. The new BMW X1 M35i xDrive accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.4 seconds, with an electronically capped peak speed of 250 km/h. The engine's highest output is produced between 5,750 and 6,500 rpm, and its maximum torque of 400 Nm is available between 2,000 and 4,500 rpm. The M-specific exhaust system provides an emotionally rich symphony to the new four-cylinder engine's aggressive power delivery.

The new BMW X1 M35i xDrive's seven-speed Steptronic transmission stands out for its incredibly quick shifts. For incredibly quick bursts of speed, there is also the M Sport Boost option. When the driver pushes on the left-hand shift paddle for at least one second, all the powertrain and chassis systems in this vehicle are switched to their sportiest level.

 

Making sure that the front and rear wheels receive the appropriate amount of drive force in any circumstance is the BMW xDrive intelligent all-wheel-drive technology. The mechanical limited-slip differential included in the new BMW X1 M35i xDrive's seven-speed Steptronic transmission helps the all-wheel-drive system perform its function. With a locking factor of up to 26%, it improves traction in slick conditions or inclement weather while also enhancing agility and handling qualities while turning quickly.

The adaptive M suspension, whose mechanically controlled adjustable and frequency-selective dampers assist both agility and long-distance comfort, is a standard feature for the new BMW X1 M35i xDrive. Additionally, the performance edition's M-specific chassis technology lowers the ride height by 15 millimeters in comparison to other BMW X1 model versions.

The 2024 BMW X1 M35i xDrive is the company's first performance model to offer M Compound brakes as an option. These provide incredibly smooth braking, excellent feel, and consistent stopping power even with heavy loads. The brakes, which are located behind the 19-inch-diameter M light-alloy wheels with double spokes, complete the new BMW X1 M35i xDrive's custom chassis specification.

Exterior-wise, the BMW X1 M35i xDrive sets it apart from its stablemates in the compact SAV lineup, in addition to its higher performance features. The new range-topping vehicle's elite athletic nature is reflected in M-specific design characteristics with an intensity unsurpassed in any other BMW M performance model.

Inside, the BMW X1 M35i xDrive already has an arrestingly athletic ambiance in its standard configuration, and it can be further distinguished with pricey extras like M Sport seats. The M-specific content on the 10.7-inch control display and the 10.25-inch information display that together make up the completely digital BMW Curved Display helps the driver concentrate.
