Body lines are always legion with BMW, and the hood's bones progressively flare from the grille into the A pillars. From the font, the large V tricks the eye, making the X1 seem larger than it really is.
The sides reflect the Concept's affiliation with the rest of the X line. The flanks are a perfect small-scale blend of the X3 and X6's dimensions, and the bleeding of the taillights into the fenders helps integrate the lines. The shape of these lights is similar to those recently introduced on the 3 Series sedan.
No word yet as to the engine or drive system of the concept. However, it's almost certain that BMW will offer the same engines as those powering the X3. Obviously, BMW's all-wheel-drive system, xDrive, will make into the production version. While still a concept, the X1 is fairly well developed; we can expect the unveiling of a production version sometime in 2009.
