With the second-generation X1, Dahler has concentrated mostly on engine upgrades. As a result the various renditions of the X1 have seen their performance increased by an average of 25HP. The X1, regardless of the specific variant, was already a powerful vehicle. It is an agile vehicle. The fact that it’s designed to operate in almost all types of road and weather conditions makes the vehicle even more desirable.

The engine modifications brought by Dahler are without a doubt the tuner’s attempt to release this particular model’s full potential. As a result, the second-generation X1 seems to have become even more powerful. Without a doubt, those seeking to improve their second-generation X1 should definitely take into consideration the upgrade packages offered by Dahler. You can tell that a lot of work went into finding the perfect upgrades in order to turn the X1 into a car that is even more refined.

Of course, the upgrade couldn’t be complete without the addition of a couple of visual upgrades. Dahler has decided to add a set of 20” rims to the package, as well as a brand new set of springs. The addition of a new exhaust system contributes both to the increase of performance and the X1’s new look. The sound is also quite remarkable. The packages offered by Dahler for the second-generation X1 are definitely worth the money.

The second-generation BMW X1 builds on the success of its predecessor. It is a fast and refined vehicle. Dahler decided to take the BMW X1 to a whole new level, offering its owners the unleashed potential of this small beast. The offered upgrades are worth every last penny. The result will, no doubt, convince even the most skeptics of customers. It remains to be seen what other upgrades Dahler has planned for the rest of the BMW X models.

They did this by a (not so) simple engine tuning, and then showcased it in a video.

Naturally, after this monster X3 was done, we all wondered which model would be next to benefit from the engine tune. And our answer came in the form of the BMW X1, the xDrive20i version.

Just like the X3, the X1 was tuned by the guys at Hartge for the sole purpose of power gains. And again, the result didn’t fail to impress. The original model sports the N20 engine, a 2.0 liter, 4 cylinder unit capable of churning out some 184 Hp and 270 Nm of torque.

Enter Hartge and their engine tune, and now the xDrive20i is able to produce 220 Hp and 325 Nm of torque, making for a 36 Hp/ 55 Nm increase. As the X3, this power is best displayed at higher speed, as the acceleration from 80 km/h to 200 km/h has dropped down 13.62 seconds, to 27.24 seconds. The build is again displayed in a video just below.
