X1 IS ONE GREAT SAV

Researched and drove CRV, Tuareg, Escape, GLA, Q3. No comparison. The fit, finish of the cabin and exterior are flawless. It's fun to drive, has an insanely small turning radius and scoots around the city effortlessly. Have been driving for 3 months and love every minute. It's comfortable for my family, easy in and out, good on gas mileage, has a lot of great utility and storage and the 2018 looks great and sporty vs 1st generation which looked a bit odd.

Enjoying our 2017 and 2018 x1s

Sorry to return this car at the end of the lease. It was the perfect multi-purpose vehicle, surprisingly spacious and fun to drive (328 engine). This is a sweet spot in the BMW product line. We fit 4 adults + 2 70lb labradors in the trunk and added a trailer hitch for a 4 bike Thule rack. Clean off the mud and it’s fun to drive in sport mode. Enjoy driving these as much as the v8 turbo and straight 6 turbo BMWs we have owned.

It’s Two Different Vehicles

It’s one vehicle for city driving and a completely different vehicle on the highway. In the city, my X1 is comfortable, quiet, handles exceptionally well, has a great steering radius and is easy to drive. Over sixty-five mph, the vehicle skitches and requires constant steering to maintain a straight path. The road noise at high speeds is almost unbearable and makes it difficult to carry on a conversation, listen to music, podcasts, audio books, etc. Backseat passengers end up yelling in order to be heard. My ears ring after a highway trip as if I had been in a noisy factory or loud concert. It’s got 20k miles and I’m ready for another vehicle. . . and it won’t be a beemer!

Owner for 1 month

I've owned my new 2018 X1 for exactly one month. I basically enjoy it, however the first week I got a very bad burn on my leg from the exhaust pipe as I was trying to place items in my trunk. Additionally the bumper get extremely hot, as if there is an over heating issue. Needless to say as a result of the burn and overheating I am taking my one month old car into the dealer tomorrow to check on this problem. Overall I enjoy my car, and hope the check up will reveal the origination of the overheating issues.

Entering a stereotypical male mid-life crisis, it was time for some major car- (and soul-) searching, whereby I decided to replace my incumbent car, a 2-door Honda Accord, with something equally sporty... and to satisfy that crisis knowing that my first replacement choice (a Mustang!) wasn't going to be practical given my town's winters and my uh..potential future responsibilities. So I ventured for a sporty compact AWD crossover -- with a badge even better than the Mustang's. After a pathological amount of online research, the X1 fit my bill. As a major mid-life crisis plus, it sits lower to the ground than its competitors (I shafted the otherwise much faster and sportier Acura RDX because it made me feel like a complete soccer dad). As far as price, the sticker might shock you when you try and equip it with Honda/Acura-spec tech, but unlike the former, BMW offers massive incentives which saved me more than 20% the price of the vehicle. Handling, gas mileage, and acceleration are all similar to or better than my old 4-cylinder Accord. The only thing I miss is the fact I went from a midsize (borderline large) car into a subcompact - You can feel the squeeze into the smaller seats, but that comes with the territory of owning a Bimmer without breaking the bank (or for that matter, feeling like a soccer dad).
