One of the most famous toys in the world is Lego, everyone at some stage in their life has played with it, as a child or as a parent. Lego has made a guest appearance at BMW Welt in Munich. 800 children spent four days to put together a true to scale model of a BMW X1 using 165,000 LEGO bricks. Resulting in a bright yellow BMW X1.

BMW Welt will be donating money to the children’s charity “Die Arche” in Munich. For every Lego block used in the X1 construction they will donate an amount of money. Totaling several thousand Euros to help children from underprivileged families. The model will be on display at BMW Welt until November 25.

BMW X1 compact SUV spied

A heavily camouflaged test mule lapping the Nurburgring has given us our first glimpse of BMW’s newest compact X1 SUV. Though likely destined for the urban jungle, the X1 will be a full time four-wheel drive, sharing many features of its not-so-mini MINI off-roader.

It boasts a relatively identical footprint to the current Toyota RAV4, although this is where the similarities end, especially in regards to the price tag.

The cabin will share a high degree of commonality with the 1-series, complete with the latest iDrive and BMW’s signature swan-necked gearlever.

Like all BMW’s, it will also use the Efficient Dynamics system which utilises stop-start and alternator control technologies to improve economy and lower emissions.

A hybrid version of the X1 is an almost certainty, likely to carry over from the system currently in development for the new 7-Series.
