It was the new X1 he was talking about , but he did stress q2 the earliest so did get the impression he was kind of saying q2 but meant q3 more likely
Thanks Matty. He’s obviously just guessing as they don’t know when it will be released yet, let alone when it will be available on Motability (assuming that it will be). We contemplated holding on for it but I’m very glad that we didn’t. We are already 4 months into our lease on our current X1 and if past history is anything to go by, the all new model will be announced by BMW some months before it’s on the roads, then there will be another few months (or longer) until it appears on Motability.
When it does eventually appear on Motability it will probably just be the lower spec, smaller engine variants initially and then another few quarters will go by before the more desirable models start to appear (if ever they do, given the way that Motability is going). By then we shall be more than half way through the lease on our 2.0i petrol 4WD xLine that, by then, is probably not even on the scheme!
