Not For Everyone, But Great Car For Me
steve_in_tx, Temple, TX, 03/12/2014
2014 BMW X1 xDrive35i 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 6A)
Drives like a sports sedan but relatively roomy in terms of headroom and (to a lesser degree) elbow room.
I'm a bigger guy (6'1" and about 240), and I bought this as a compromise between the 3 series, which I felt was a little more low-slung than I like, and the X3, which felt relatively boat-like.
Bonus: not only do I prefer the X1 to those two vehicles, but it is about $10K cheaper … when similarly equipped.
EDP X1
bmwcca325xi, Cupertino, CA, 10/15/2013
2014 BMW X1 xDrive35i 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 6A)
Ordered car and picked up in Munich as an EDP car in June.
Major options:
M Package, Winter Package.
Nice firm ride and soaks up bumps well.
Drove car 2,850 miles in Germany, Austria, and France.
Top speed driven was 125 mph on the Autobahn -- car was feeling floaty so did not go faster although the engine could handle it.
No issues in Europe over 2,850 miles.
Averaged 25 to 28 … mpg.
Back in Calif., I have driven 2,200 miles and averaged from 25 to 27 mpg since being back.
I attribute the same MPG while driving much slower to the lower fuel quality (ethanol)
perfect crossover

2014 BMW X1 xDrive35i 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 6A)
Drives very nimbly. Steering is easy on arthritic hands; in fact, that was one of the reasons we replaced a perfect 330xi. The only complaint I have is that the trunk release is near the hood release and not easily reachable. Still love the car.
Great Car

2014 BMW X1 xDrive35i 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 6A)
I got the car in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. I have an Acura TSX 2008 and it is in good condition. The Used 2014 BMW X1 is okay. My concern is that I did not get the BMW 100% certified by the dealer, so I'm learning the service needs of the vehicle with very little or no assistance from the BMW dealer in Turnersville. They sold me a vehicle with four bad tires. Also, due to … the fact, I got the vehicle from Acura of Turnersville dealer and It appears I was stuck in a tug of war by the BMW dealer for not getting the vehicle from their dealership. My inquires for assistance are ignored. For example, I have never filled out any customer review after any services from the BMW dealer in Turnersville. I just want to be treated fairly as a female car driver, despite where the vehicle was purchased with the four bad tires.
