Yes that is an X1M. To accompany the X1 xDriveM35i.

With everyone distracted by The IAA mobility. Super sleuth Wilco Blok caught these on the move. I reached out and the car they were "seriously considering" has moved forward to production status.

It makes sense when compact performance SUVs are popular with the GLA 45 AMG and Audi RSQ3 and Sportback models and the VW T-Roc R. Makes perfect sense for the X1M to join in the fun.

Engine still should be a four cylinder turbo mated to AWD BMW xDrive.

No specifics yet but that should filter in the next few days but expect close to or around 400PS? Competition model?

The fact this makes it through "the BMW market research vetting process" and they can't give us a G81 M3 Touring in the US is an absolute travesty.

I'm not hating on this car, I'm hating on the selection process for new models…
If DraftKings had a line on it; I'd bet the X1M would outsell (number of units) the M3 Touring in the US.
