The best Spy Shots so far of the all-new 2016  F48 BMW X1, the second generation of the successful BMW X1 SUV series. The 2016 BMW X1 will debut on the Frankfurt Auto Show in September. Most notable changes are: a new rounder front with a larger grille, new headlights, a new bonnet, new bumpers, new taillights, and an updated interior.
