These include the two pairs of tailpipes and the optional M Sport seats with illuminated M logo.

The new BMW This version will be built at the BMW Group plant in Regensburg, Germany, where other variants of the new BMW X1 are assembled, including the fully electric BMW iX1.

New, more powerful four-cylinder engine.

The latest generation four-cylinder petrol engine delivers raw power that the new BMW X1 M35i xDrive transforms into fascinating performance. Several innovations distinguish this new engine from the previous generation, including the adoption of the Miller cycle, redesigned intake ports and combustion chambers, as well as changes to camshaft timing, injection, the ignition system and the routing of exhaust gases.

Highlights of the M-specific 2.0-liter engine include a new, extremely robust crankshaft drive, an optimized piston oil supply system with cooling channels, as well as main bearing shells and caps. taken from the last generation in-line six-cylinder gasoline engine. Its M TwinPower Turbo technology has been improved by increasing the performance of the turbocharging system and indirect cooling of the charge air, while introducing dual injection for mixture preparation depending on the load point. It is also equipped with VANOS variable valve timing with optimization of the oil supply to the actuator and VALVETRONIC fully variable valve timing. The engine generates its maximum power between 5,750 and 6,500 rpm, while the maximum torque of 400 Nm is available between 2,000 and 4,500 rpm.

The power of the new four-cylinder is accompanied by an emotional soundtrack from the M-specific exhaust system. The new BMW X1 M35i xDrive is the first performance model from BMW M GmbH equipped with a quadruple tailpipe. Nestled to the left and right of the rear apron, it has been the signature of BMW M’s high-performance models for many years, and has been adopted by the most powerful member of the compact SAV range.

Seven-speed transmission with dual clutch and M Sport Boost.

The seven-speed gearbox that equips the new BMW X1 M35i xDrive is distinguished by its very precise gear changes. The paddles on the steering wheel allow rapid manual intervention when changing gears. The M Sport Boost function is also available for exceptionally fast acceleration. In this case, all powertrain and chassis systems shift to their sportiest setting when the driver presses the left shift paddle for at least one second.

Supreme traction and agility: BMW xDrive all-wheel drive, mechanical limited-slip differential on the front axle.

The intelligent BMW xDrive all-wheel drive system distributes drive power between the front and rear wheels as needed, whatever the situation. The system is permanently linked to the chassis control technology. An electro-hydraulically controlled clutch helps direct engine torque to the rear wheels within milliseconds, significantly improving traction, directional stability and sporting prowess in the BMW mould.

The all-wheel drive system is assisted in its task by the mechanical limited-slip differential integrated into the seven-speed gearbox of the new BMW X1 M35i xDrive. It limits the speed difference between the front wheels. With a locking factor of up to 26%, it increases traction on soft terrain or in adverse weather conditions, while improving agility and driving dynamics when cornering at high speed.

Adaptive M suspension and sports steering as standard.

The new BMW Pressure peaks inside the shock absorbers are dampened using additional valves active on the rebound side. Thus, the system provides a comfortable response when absorbing small bumps in the road surface, combined with sporty damping characteristics in dynamic driving situations.

M-specific chassis technology on the performance model also allows the ride height to be reduced by 15 millimeters compared to other variants of the BMW X1. The standard sports steering combines speed-dependent Servotronic assistance with a very direct rack ratio.

Braking system with M composite brake option.

The braking system fitted to the new BMW X1 M35i xDrive generates braking power that adapts to the driver’s input, while providing excellent feedback via the brake pedal. It packs braking activation, amplification and control functions into a compact module, while an electric actuator is used to trigger the required braking pressure.

The new BMW The rear braking system is composed of single-piston floating calliper calipers, with integrated parking brake, and 330 millimeter discs at the rear. The internally ventilated brake discs consist of a gray cast iron ring and an aluminum chamber. The M composite brakes provide very comfortable braking, superb feel and stable stopping power, even under high loads. In addition, weight has been minimized and unsprung masses are significantly reduced compared to conventional braking systems. The brake calipers are painted gray and feature the M logo.

Limitation of wheel slip close to the actuator for greater agility.

The wheel slip limitation technology is a particularly important element, alongside the DSC (Dynamic Stability Control) system, which allows the BMW X1 M35i xDrive to constantly combine unwavering handling and supreme agility. Here, the traction control function is integrated into the engine management. This eliminates long signal paths to the DSC control unit, meaning corrective signals are applied up to ten times faster than in conventional systems and with exceptional precision. The wheel slip limitation, close to the actuator, thus guarantees optimal traction (even on slippery roads), unwavering stability in a straight line under strong acceleration and excellent directional stability when cornering.

19-inch M light alloy wheels as standard.

19-inch M double-spoke light-alloy wheels complete the bespoke chassis specification of the new BMW X1 M35i xDrive. The standard light alloy wheels are shod with tires 20 millimeters wider than on the outgoing model, giving this top of the range even more dynamic handling potential. 20-inch M light alloy wheels in an exclusive two-spoke design and sports tires are on the options list.
