BMW X1 sDrive 18d M Sport Review

By Bilal Ahmed Firfiray06 Sep 2023

There are very few things that can get me out at 0530 hours on a Saturday morning after a tiring week. A 2.0 litre turbocharged petrol sedan with AWD is certainly one of them. The rally enthusiast in me is smiling – Mercedes-Benz has used the Japanese formula to build a performance car based on a regular front-wheel-drive sedan.
