This 'F48'-series design was a much bolder and more confident X1, with a street presence vastly different to the rather apologetic look of its first generation predecessor. Large air intakes and a strong 'X' accent to the front bumper added to the more purposeful look, as did the contoured aluminium bonnet that flows into enlarged and more prominent kidney grilles. They're flanked by angular headlamps that can feature all-LED technology, these sitting above round foglamps sited independently in the front bumper. And inside? Well if you come to the car having been familiar with its first generation predecessor, then one of the first things you'll notice is the way that you're seated 30mm higher in this MK2 model, creating a much more SUV-like feeling of roadway command. Look around and the high quality layered fascia is much as it is in the other BMW that shares this one's MINI-derived underpinnings, the 2 Series Active Tourer. It curves around the cabin in a symmetrical wave garnished with textured aluminium, satin chrome inlays and carefully-chosen splashes of bright work. In the back, you really notice the benefit of this MK2 model's extra 90mm of wheelbase length - and the way that the seats are positioned 64mm higher up to give you a better view forward. The designers claim that there's an extra 37mm more knee room in this second generation car, a figure you can extend to a limousine-like 66mm if you get a car whose original owner paid extra for the sliding rear bench which offers 130mm of back-and-forth adjustment. And out back? Well once the powered hatch rises, you're provided with a class-leading 508-litre space, which means there's 85-litres more than the previous model could offer. This excellent example X1 is fininshed in mettallic white paint and has black leather upholstery. The vehicle is packed with specification including colour sat nav, bluetooth, radar control and much more. The vehicle will be supplied with a Free RAC inspection, 1 Year MOT, Free
