BMW India will be launching two variants (Corporate Edition and High line) of the X1. The vehicle  would be priced somewhere between Rs 24-30 Lakh and the deliveries should begin sometime early next year. Since this is the cheapest variant of  BMW cars in india, so there won’t be any  fancy eye-popping gadgets to come as standard fitment.
