I was comparing the sketches to the concept to the ‘spy’ teaser photos, They all look very similar, nothing you can say that is obvious, but I’m sure there were some production adjustments…. Excellent job to compare sketch to production, overall looking the same… However, dare I question if the sketches were the original sketches made to see the concept in the first place?

The only differences I can see is that there is less bright/metallic work but that could just be omitted from different variant.

I don’t think its a matte color – its been cropped so it is hard to see fully – They used soft lighting. On the tail light image you can see a hard reflection where the numberplate would be, so that would suggest its not matte.

Would buy one tommorrow if it came to the US. I want something with better gas milage than X3 and will not drive a wagon, sedan won’t work.

THey can keep the X1 in Europe. I have enough of the boxes on 4 wheels.
