xDrive names[edit]

OK, this ticks me off a bit. Roughly one half of auto sites are calling the model with the 3.0L inline-6 the xDrive30i (e.g. AutoWeek), while the other half are calling it the xDrive28i. Until someone finds a source from BMW stating what they will really call it (and the others), I'd rather leave the xDrive nomenclatures out. --Vossanova ^o< 17:47, 2 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Classifying X1 as "wagon" or "station wagon"[edit]

I really do not understand where this classification was taken from, and I do not believe it is a correct one, as BMW themselves have the X1 under "SUV" section on their own international website: http://www.bmw.com/com/en/newvehicles/bodytype/suv.html. Note that on this page, the X1 is located directly in "SUV" section, not "SAV" or "SAC". Also, even on EPA's own page the X1 is classified as "mid-size car", NOT as "wagon" of ANY kind: http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/Find.do?action=sbs&id=32961#tab4. For "station wagons" EPA has a clear definition, as for example here, where the sample vehicle (of different brand/model) is explicitly defined as "small station wagon": http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/Find.do?action=sbs&id=31242#tab4. If you really insist on defining X1 as "station wagon", at least find the direct reference to it, preferably by some government organization or BMW themselves... Even then, you should understand that "station wagon" term is NOT a "worldwide" term, it is mostly used on American, Australian and New Zealand territories, however the car is being manufactured and sold in other parts of the world as well so this term is even more inappropriate to describe this type of vehicle and I believe classifying it as an "SUV" (or any kind of its variation, like a "Compact SUV") is the most "neutral" and correct classification.98.113.47.15 (talk) 01:09, 13 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Manufacturer as defined by Template:Infobox automobile[edit]

To those who change the "Manufacturer" infobox to include entities building cars under contract or licence: Template:Infobox automobile defines "manufacturer" as follows:

"Manufacturer: the entity responsible for the vehicle's development, although not necessarily the company that physically assembles the vehicle"

Therefore, if the contractor or licensee is not responsible for the vehicle's development, or has not developed the licenced vehicle further, then they are not the "manufacturer" to be listed in the infobox.

Expression crossover SUV. Why SUV?[edit]

A crossover is based on a car's platform, while an SUV uses the chassis of a truck. The BMW crossover is based on the UKL platform.--Tim Stamper (talk) 03:37, 1 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
