INSTANT WINNER –

SMALL WONDER.

How can the world’s first sub-compact premium SUV-style vehicle deliver a sport sedan-like driving experience with enough space to comfortably fit up to five? Simple: it’s a product of BMW engineering

magic. After conquering the rest of the world, the BMW X SAV is making its U.S. debut, and it’s already garnering rave reviews for

combining many of BMW’s strongest features in one dynamic vehicle.

Don’t let its lean stance fool you. The X formula offers a banquet of desirable traits – such as potent, fuel-efficient engine options. Bespoke styling. Plenty of legroom and headroom, as well as ample cargo storage space. BMW’s latest driving and connectivity technologies. And with the added capabilities of available xDrive – BMW’s intelligent all-wheel-drive system – no road is too challenging. The X : introducing substance into the sub-compact SUV category.

X FACTOR,

REDEFINED.

Already hailed as a conqueror of roads and reviewers overseas, the BMW X is making its triumphal appearance on the American road. With its winning combination of sporty design, versatile power, groundbreaking technology and modern aesthetics, a global victory lap is just down the road.

A refi ned approach is the key to the X ’s appeal. Produced in BMW’s Plant Leipzig, the X gives drivers and passengers a new fl avor of X. With its lean body, dynamic styling, light weight and aggressive handling, the X shows off a considerable fl air for track-inspired performance. No matter which model you choose – including two all-wheel-drive versions and, new for BMW, a rear-wheel-drive version – BMW’s smallest X vehicle proves it’s all about personality.

06 07 Design

Dynamic, eye-catching and immediately identifi able, the X shows off at every turn. From the muscular front end to BMW signature L-shape taillights, the X attracts followers from all walks of life.

DESIGNED

TO X-CEL.

Vibrant, muscular, full of energy: the X , though a part of the celebrated BMW X family, shows itself to be a unique vehicle in its own right. Seen from the front, the X delivers a great sense of confi dence. Wide wheel arches, a bold seven-slat twin kidney grille, and a three-dimensional surround across the headlights

immediately signal the X ’s rugged BMW DNA. In fact, looking directly at the front end, you can make out a subtle but powerful “X” shape, formed in the body

and panel work. But make no mistake, this is no boxy, utilitarian design; a sweeping hood, long wheelbase and set-back passenger compartments suggest the X ’s integration of a more refi ned driving experience. Additional cues, such as a chrome accent strip atop the twin Corona headlight-rings, as well as an LED accent light, enhance the X ’s elegant presence.

BMW designers took great care in crafting a suitable exterior “personality” for the X : spontaneous, performance-driven and, most of all, fun. From the

-inch alloy wheels to its sporty roof rails available in three different fi nishes, the X is a vehicle that says, Where do you want to go today? Whatever your answer, it’s game.

08 09 Design

Unique among the competition and even BMW, the X design language boasts distinctive lines, contours and accents that make it stand out from the pack.

Seen from the side, the X boasts three bold lines that create a sense of power and confi dence. The top contour line rises sharply to the rear, interacting with the lower sill line to create a dynamic wedge shape, while a distinctive middle character line adds a dynamic touch. Another BMW signature, the Hofmeister kink, appears in conjunction with the character line and special window graphics. Surfaces and contours are bold, distinct and crisp; the

fl owing front end, sides and rear create a symphonic connection between the various elements. Body components are fi nished with an exacting degree of sophistication, including the painted front bumpers, side sills and a trim bar that separates the lower air intakes with a horizontal line. Even the underfl oor protection plate is fi nished in a striking silver color, which can be matched with

a silver-color roof rail. This versatile vehicle shows how fl air is a great match with functionality.

BEHOLD.

MOVED.

Tackling the tarmac, the X can open up virtually any driving experience. Are you the sporty, adventurous type who demands as much from your vehicle as you do from yourself?

The X xDrive i – available only in the U.S. – has power and traction at the ready, courtesy of a potent TwinPower Turbo six-cylinder engine and xDrive, BMW’s intelligent all-wheel drive. Seeking rear-wheel-drive handling and a potent, effi cient powerplant? The X sDrive i delivers the goods with a stunningly responsive TwinPower Turbo four-cylinder engine.

Or split the difference with the X xDrive i’s lean, effi cient four-cylinder TwinPower Turbo dynamo and optimized traction of xDrive all-wheel drive. All three models can be upgraded with the M Sport Line for over-the-top, race-inspired styling and performance.

TAKE CONTROL.

FURTHER.

Whether pushing the engine to its limits, or putting xDrive intelligent all-wheel drive to the test, you’ll fi nd there’s nothing the X can’t handle.

What is it about pure adventure that we fi nd so exhilarating? Whatever your next challenge may be, the X can help you overcome it.

The power starts with award-winning BMW TwinPower Turbo engines that incorporate high-pressure direct fuel injection, Valvetronic and Double-VANOS – true engineering marvels and purveyors of peak BMW performance.

AT ONE WITH THE ROAD

– AND THE WORLD.

There’s an air of limitless energy about the BMW X , and the vibe continues once you step inside and take the wheel. The semi-command seating position is the perfect vantage point to pilot this Sports Activity Vehicle.® In fact, the driver-centric dash serves to enhance driver confi dence.

The X cabin is designed to enhance driver control. All vehicle operation instrumentation, as well as climate and audio system controls, is driver-oriented, while a practical center console separates the driver and front-seat-passenger areas.

The instrument panel itself is divided by horizontal lines; together with the door panel design, this emphasizes the generous space inside the vehicle. This airy feeling continues in the “greenhouse” – the area surrounded by windows – which is optimized for excellent visibility in virtually all directions. Added touches of elegance hint at the X ’s luxurious heritage: gorgeous silvertone trim surrounds the gear shift lever and center console cupholders; air vents are fi nished in high-gloss black; and the trim bar, in a contrasting color, fl ows from the lower section of the dash, guiding all sightlines back toward the road.

The iDrive Controller sits within quick reach, while the attractively fi nished . -inch Control Display blends harmoniously into the dashboard. Add the Navigation system and enjoy an assortment of direct-selection

shortcut buttons on the center console. The Navigation system also gives you access to voice entry commands and a Bluetooth® interface, allowing you to use your smartphone to maximum effect.

BMW ConnectedDrive, a suite of integrated communication features, operates as a virtual Mobile Offi ce, allowing you to keep in touch with your contacts easily and effi ciently. When you’re not busy mapping out your next adventure, iDrive lets you dial in an impressive six-speaker sound system complete with builtin CD player and auxiliary input for connecting other media devices, including smartphones, MP players, tablets and more. Upgrade to the Harman Kardon® Surround Sound System for peerless audio – ideal for providing the soundtrack to any trip.

Of course, the X also caters to track lovers. Select the M Sport Line and place a fi rm grip on the multi-function leather-wrapped M sport steering wheel, with

paddle shifters right at your fi ngers. Sport seats provide all the support and adjustable bolstering you’ll need, even while taking sharp corners. And a range of stunning

M interior elements, such as the Anthracite headliner and exclusive trim choice, is just another way for the X to get your heart racing.
