Generations E84, F48 and U11
The first-generation E84 (2009–2015) is based on the BMW 3 Series and comes with rear-wheel drive. The F48 generation (2015–2022) switched to front-wheel drive and the UKL platform shared with the Mini Cooper. The current U11 generation (from 2022) brings an updated chassis, hybrid variants, and the fully electric iX1. Each generation offers sDrive (front-wheel drive) and xDrive (all-wheel drive) versions.
