Here’s a first look at the X1 under it’s own power with all camo removed. For our money this is easily one of the better looking Crossovers BMW has produced to date. We look forward to getting behind the wheel early next year.

Few of us will ever come close to the 135 bimmers Klaus has owned, but it would be a nice feat to even achieve a third of them. This retired entrepreneur’s 135th BMW is none other than an ///M6. Not sure if that would be my choice but he more than likely has owned the rest of the fleet. (Edit)

About BimmerFile

BimmerFile is dedicated to bringing you the most interesting news, links and reviews related to the BMW brand and it's vehicles.

We believe in the old school BMW ownership experience. We believe in garage nights with a six pack and some friends. We believe in 2002s, in E30 M3s and E34 540s with the 6 speed. We believe in progress in both design and engineering but we haven't lost sight of what made the brand and its products great all those years ago. And yes, we believe in the manual transmission.

We long for the days of the wave and for the days of roll-up windows. Yet we love the gadgets on the inside and the xenons on the outside.

In short, we can't get enough of BMWs. This is BimmerFile.
