However, X1 is planned to come as a brand new model, according to the official announcements that are coming from a direction of a BMW’s headquarters. But, we wouldn’t call it a brand new designed or novelty, we would prefer the expressions like: slightly refreshed or improved. We are saying that for a reason, actually there aren’t some major differences between these two variants, only the slightly cosmetically-oriented refreshments. These refreshments mainly reflect in the exterior and engine section, and that’s, pretty much, it!
