2010 BMW X1 spy shots

We first showed you the X1 prototype in June with very heavy disguise on the Nürburgring.

X1 is the fourth model in the X-series after the X6, X5 and X3. It is more of a crossover than SUV. X1 is based on the 1-series and shares its platform with the upcoming Mini Crossman.

X1 is most likely to debut at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show with sales beginning in 2010.
