Affordable (X)cstacy!

The leading German luxury car makers marched into India a few years ago with it's battalion of beasts and took away more than half the candy from Mercedes.
Here comes another brave new soldier from the BMW stable.

The lowest order link of the X series is here. This SUV has been a success in all other countries and the fate doesn't seem any different in India. It's booked for the next 3 months already.
The looks are typically new-age BMW. A perfect solution to the urban complexities in a grand fashion. Suspension is the key to a good ride and that's where BMW scores all its points on this one. The sharp hood lines convince of a low centre of gravity on this not so magnanimous car. Although, let the size not be a deception as this car has all that can be packed in a small package.
Among the 1800 CC petrol and 2000 CC diesel, the diesel one can be expected to be the better bet.
The engine is a gem and the looks are worth a few heads. Master stroke is the price tag! A BMW X1 can be owned within a price of Rs. 30 lacs.

Joy is what you make of it! And for that price tag, this is joy many can afford!
