BMW X1 gets a mild update for 2014

Few people would describe the BMW X1 as particularly handsome, especially when it’s viewed from the front.

The changes being introduced for the 2014 model year probably aren’t going to alter that, mainly because they’re limited to revised front bumper air intake vents, redesigned alloy wheels and the addition of daytime running lights.
