Power would reportedly be provided by a turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine that develops 315 hp (235 kW / 320 PS) and 450 Nm (332 lb-ft) of torque. It would be paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission which would enable the X1 M to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in approximately five seconds.
No word on when the crossover could be launched, but BMW is currently focused on introducing the redesigned M5 and M6.
