2026 BMW X1 M35i xDrive Automatic

The 2026 BMW X1 M35i xDrive combines compact SUV practicality with the focused specification of BMW’s M35i performance grade. Finished in Gray Dark with a Black interior, this new example has travelled 0 km and uses an automatic transmission with all-wheel drive, giving it the hardware to suit drivers seeking a more purposeful take on the X1 format.

Its petrol engine produces 221 kW (300 hp) and 400Nm, with a listed 0–100 km/h acceleration time of 5.40 seconds and a maximum speed of 250 km/h. The automatic gearbox includes gearshift paddles, allowing the driver to take a more active role when desired while retaining the convenience expected of a premium SUV in everyday use.

The M35i’s chassis specification is designed to support its stronger performance character. Adaptive M Suspension allows the suspension response to be adjusted to suit changing road conditions and driving preferences, while the M Sport Package Pro adds M Sport seats, red high-gloss M Sport brakes, M seat belts and additional Shadow Line detailing. The package gives the cabin and exterior a more cohesive, driver-oriented presentation without compromising the X1’s five-seat layout.

Exterior details include 20-inch M light-alloy wheels in Y-spoke style 872 M, M roof rails in High-Gloss Shadow Line and an M rear spoiler. A Panorama Glass Roof brings extra light into the cabin, while the combination of M High-Gloss Shadow Line trim and the dark exterior colour creates a restrained, sporting appearance.

Inside, the Black cabin uses an Alcantara and Veganza combination with contrasting blue stitching, supported by an anthracite M headliner and Aluminium Hexacube Pale M interior trim. Electric front seat adjustment with memory and front-seat heating add convenience, while rear-seat adjustment provides additional flexibility for passengers and luggage. The luxury instrument panel and BMW Live Cockpit Professional contribute to a more upmarket interior environment.

Technology is comprehensive, with the Equipment Package Professional bringing BMW Head-Up Display, BMW Live Cockpit Professional, Parking Assistant Plus, Adaptive LED headlights, High-Beam Assistant, Comfort Access, an exterior mirror package, an automatically dimming interior rear-view mirror and wireless charging storage. Driving Assistant Professional adds an advanced suite of driver assistance functions, while Intelligent Emergency Calling, Active Pedestrian Protection and an anti-theft security system address safety and security.

Audio and connectivity features include a harman/kardon HiFi loudspeaker system, DAB+ digital radio, Personal eSIM and BMW TeleServices. A tyre repair kit, warning triangle and automatic transmission with paddles provide useful supporting equipment. With its combination of all-wheel drive, five-seat SUV versatility, substantial standard equipment and M35i-specific chassis and styling enhancements, this X1 is specified as a particularly complete example of BMW’s compact performance SUV range.
