Video of the week: The Philippine launch of the all-new BMW X1

February 05, 2010

Here's a little trivia: BMW's latest addition to the X-Series, the all-new X1 Sport Activity Vehicle, had its Southeast Asian debut in the Philippines.

"This shows the importance of the Philippine market," said Bobby Rosales, president of Asian Carmakers Corp. (ACC)--the exclusive distributor of BMW vehicles in the country.

The BMW X1 is a five-seater sport-utility vehicle powered by a 2.0-liter diesel engine. Check out what motoring editors have to say about the new BMW X1:
