I am not sure whether this is correct, but I been told numerous tines that the BMW X1 for the Asian market is actually made in Shenyang, China

Maybe the CBU will be (unlikely as they build LWD there), but CKD definitely coming mid year so it will have to be built in Rayong.

Sorry may be i some wrong understand

But In Chiang Mai... maneger say its come 9 february. and price 2599k for disel ..

Depends on the spec, but that price sounds about right. Hopefully the CKD one will be 300k cheaper when it comes out in July. Previous X1 was priced in the 2-2.9m range.

Those are E84 X1 prices though

The F48 X1 prices and specs should become official soon.

Interesting about the X4. Will the X1 price change once the Thai made version rolls off the line?

Yup. CKD won't be ready for a while. The reason they are launching the CBU a few months ahead of the CKD is to stop the grey importers cutting into their action. I think BMW now have a pretty good incentive with the unlimited mileage for their BSI warranty package.

Going to the xDrive event at Pattaya polo club this Sunday, so will see if BMW offer any more X1 info. Would be cool to see the new X1 up close but guessing it'll only be the X3 and X5 shown. Any of you going?

I'll be there this Sunday. I suggest you check with your dealer for an invite as it's for a pretty small group of people who will get to try all the off-road obstacles they will have set up.

Looking at the details I have there will be three groups of 14 and will run from 9.30-5pm. Welcome speech, product presentation, xDrive exercise, lunch, trying out the various hazards and some kind of award being given out at the end. Venue is Thai Polo & Equestrian Club.

I've seen the X1 up close in London. Fairly good looking but I wasn't that bowled over as I thought I'd be

Polo club, lol, sometimes I think most people here are from the Stone Age

Have send from bmw dealer CM

Yup, in the dealerships now.

For those who like to read in English

Some pics

Diller say in Thailand come black and white now

Brown too

Nice looking car. Quite surprised that the 0-100 time is 9.2 seconds. Same as an HRV altho I'm sure the BMW trumps it 'in gear' 50-70 etc

Was expecting a bit more poke tho

just back from the BMW Pattaya dealer, have a white one on display but brochures and info about other available engines and specs, also no test drive available

the car look and feels nice - side note, no air vents in the back

That BMW twin turbo diesel makes the GLA200 look good, and here I was thinking you wouldn't go near a GLA unless it was the 250

For that money they should be offering the higher output version of that engine.

Wait for the CKD version then, CBU isn't exactly the version to get for value just bragging rights for getting it first. For this price you could get the 2 series coupe, but the engine is tiny and it's missing a ton of options.

I really like the new X1 package and love beemers in general but couldn't justify spending 2.5m on a compact that offers v little over one I just bought for 1.1m

2L diesel - 150hp and 330nm.. Tiny?

Check the part where I mention 2 Series Coupe. 1.5l petrol - 100hp and 220nm, sounds pretty tiny for 2.6m baht.

Definitely not worth 1.5m more than the HRV.

Isn't the 218 136hp?

Pretty hard to find value or big engines in BMW's range in LOS.

Ah, sorry. Thought you were talking about the X1. The 1.5l 3 sylinder petrol has 136hp (unless its downtuned in Thailand. Can easily be reprogrammed to 165hp and 300nm. I have the 1.6 4 sylinder, tuned to 210hp.
