The 2027 BMW X1 M35i is what BMW M does to the X1: 312 horsepower from a re-engineered version of the same 2.0-liter four, Adaptive M Suspension, M Sport brakes and a 19-inch wheel on a wider tire, from $52,400 MSRP. It reaches 60 mph in a BMW-estimated 5.2 seconds against the X1 xDrive28i's 6.2, and the $9,200 between them buys chassis hardware as much as it buys power. Torque is the same 295 lb-ft in both.

The M35i is the performance model of the X1 range, and it is the one to have if you want the quicker car and the chassis to use it. For the figures the two models share, the specs page carries every dimension, the technology page the cabin systems and the cargo page the interior space, all of which the two models share.

What the X1 M35i Adds Over the X1 xDrive28i

The differential is hardware, not adjectives.

• 71 more horsepower. 312 against 241, from BMW M's version of the same 2.0-liter engine.
• Adaptive M Suspension in place of the passive strut-front, multi-link-rear setup.
• M Sport brakes as standard, with 19-inch M Compound brakes available.
• M Sport exhaust with quad tips, which changes the sound as well as the look.
• 19 x 8-inch M alloy wheels on 245/45 tires, 20 millimetres wider than the xDrive28i's.
• M steering wheel with a 12 o'clock marker, M colour stitching and paddle shifters with a boost function.
• M-specific displays on the BMW Curved Display.
• High-gloss black mirror caps and proximity-sensing keyless entry, which the xDrive28i does not offer.

2027 BMW X1 M35i Engine and Drivetrain

A 2.0-liter M TwinPower Turbo inline four-cylinder making 312 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque, through a 7-speed dual clutch transmission to xDrive all-wheel drive. Every M35i is built that way, with xDrive standard rather than an option to price. It reaches 60 mph in 5.2 seconds and runs to 130 mph.

Performance Control is standard, braking the inside wheels through a corner and sending more drive to the outside ones. Paddle shifters on the M steering wheel carry a boost function. The car takes premium gasoline from a 14.3-gallon tank.

2027 BMW X1 M35i Chassis and Hardware

Adaptive M Suspension is the standard chassis, and it is the part of the M35i most owners notice first. On top of it: M Sport brakes as standard, and available 19-inch M Compound brakes with perforated discs and grey painted calipers carrying the M logo. Wheels are 19 x 8-inch aluminium on P245/45HR19 tires as standard, with 20-inch M Y-Spoke Bicolor 872M wheels available.

Inside, available M Sport seats bring deep cushions, high side sections, integrated head restraints and illuminated M logos. Those seats are what take front headroom to 40.5 inches against the xDrive28i's 42.1, so a tall driver should sit in the car before ordering them. Curb weight is 3,790 pounds, 40 pounds above the xDrive28i.

Where the X1 M35i Sits in the BMW X1 Lineup

The 2027 X1 range is two models and the M35i is the upper one. Below it, the X1 xDrive28i carries the same standard cabin technology, the same safety suite and the same cargo space at $43,200 MSRP. Above it in the BMW SUV range sits the X3, which is a larger car on a longer wheelbase rather than a faster version of this one; the X1 vs X3 page sets the two side by side.

Everything the two X1 models share is documented once. The engine page covers both powertrains, the specs page every dimension, and the overview the car as a whole.

Which Buyer Should Choose the X1 M35i?

• The valley two-lanes are the reason you are buying. Adaptive M Suspension and the wider tire are worth more on Highway 29 and the Silverado Trail than the horsepower figure suggests.
• You want the quickest compact BMW SUV. 5.2 seconds to 60 mph is a full second inside the xDrive28i.
• You want the M cabin. The M steering wheel, M-specific displays and available M Sport seats come only on this model.
• You are ordering rather than buying from stock. The M35i is the model where specifying the brakes, wheels and seats yourself pays off. Talk to us about a factory order.
• You need the space and the technology but not the chassis. The xDrive28i has both, and we stock it in depth.
