Great compact SUV (hatchback)

I purchased a new Acura RDX and traded it after 6 months for an X1. I missed the BMW driving dynamics and this car delivers! The steering is meant to be heavy and an engaging drive. Those who want softer should look to Acura or Lexus. The X1 is not as luxurious as the 3 or 5 series but the price tag makes up for it. I have the Premium and Tech packages, it has everything I wanted in features. Love the handling and hatchback style. So happy to be back in a BMW!

I purchased this BMW new almost 10 years ago. I now have 221k miles on it. The only repairs I have had (other than regular maintenance items): replaced the turbo waste gate and a new a/c compressor. I got rid of the run flats long ago. It is a small vehicle so the spare takes up a lot of the luggage room. It has a somewhat stiff ride, but I’ll take that any day in order to get improved handling. The x-drive is awesome in the snow! Mine is not decked out with some of the expensive BMW options, making the purchase price much more palatable. After all these years and miles, I’m grateful for the fun, safe, dependable vehicle it has been. I have no plans to get rid of it!

Great handling vehicle with in need of improvement

Purchased 2014 X1 fully loaded with M-Sport package. Great handling car with aggressive sporty ride, coming from a V6 engine it was hard to believe this car was only equipped with turbo 4. Comes with just enough tech to be comfortable (I never cared for Lane Departure Assistance, Front Collision Warning, and other new safety features). It however came with the crappiest quality materials I have seen in German cars, and it because the hard plastics were constantly expanding and rubbing, rattles/creaks were always present. The run flats combined with M suspension did not help either. Oh, and I purchased this vehicle at 45k and 2 years later the value was at 14k so its two year depreciation was @ 68% which is a little steep even for a BMW.

Continually Amazed by BMW

I have owned/driven the whole range of BMW - 3 series, 5, X6, 650, M3, etc. This car has the same DNA. I wanted something small and simple for work, baseball coaching, skiing, winter/summer. I looked at Subaru Outback. The outback was $13K less based on MSRP but the X1 leased for $150 less per ($330 per month with nothing down but an old Escape with 130K miles). The little engine is just amazing even comparing to all the big BMW V8s. I dont need more than 240 hp. When BMW beats subaru on price+features, I'd call that value!
