What’s the most adorable thing you can do with a BMW X1? Let a bunch of kids create one out of Lego bricks! A group of 800 kids, ages 5 to 13, got the chance to create a BMW X1 model, piece by piece, in Germany.

The model was built to scale – 4.5 meters long, 1.8m wide and 1.5m high. We would have gone with a separate color (colour) other then yellow, but it’s still cute!

A total of 165,000 LEGO bricks were used in creating the 2010 X1. BMW initiated the artwork fundraiser for socially disadvantaged children. For every built-up LEGO block the company will donate money to the Children’s World “Die Arche” in Munich. If you’re in Munich go check it out in person at BMW World.

For 2010 BMW will cross even more into the crossover zone (pun intended) with the release of their production X1. This week, in preparation for the Paris motor Show, Bimmer released their official sketches of the BMW X1 concept. It’s a bit smaller than previous X SUV and crossover vehicles, but it keeps in mind that BMW sexy front end and curved grill. Powetrain info has yet to be officially released, expect the vehicle to house a stunning V6 or V8, possibly turboocharged (at least, depending on your budget).

From the Press Release: Creating this unique Concept Car, BMW is catering for the demands of a modern target group in search of an up-to-date automobile meeting both the challenges of everyday traffic and the personal needs of many purchasers for an active lifestyle and a versatile driving experience. The BMW Concept X1 expresses that very special sheer driving pleasure so typical in this unique form of a BMW X model combined with a high standard of all-round functionality. So now these qualities are for the first time being carried over to a vehicle in the premium compact segment.
