I was looking at other reviews and can kind of agree on the tires. I had a horrible accident with my x1 ended up being a total loss and believe it could of been due to the tires. So that is why I’m not sure on my rating Regardless of the accident part, this car right away all the airbags popped out from the sides to the front and thank god protected me. A super cool feature was when I got in the accident with my x1 the cars computer communicated with a 911 dispatcher!!! Awesome experience from a bad moment.

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.

A lot of fun to drive around town or on windy roads. Turbo has quick power and gas mileage is great also. Interior very rich and refined. It is a pleasant change from a regular car. It is stylish, plenty of cargo space and very roomy interior. I like the orange ambient lighting but agree with a previous owner more available colors would have been nice other than white. The maintenance warranty at 10,000 miles did not cover rotating the tires which I thought was kind of cheap for a classy BMW. Also I guess they reprogrammed the computer and the monitor does not turn off like it did before I took it in for maintenance. No big deal. The automatic tailgate open with the foot took some getting use to but after realizing it was how fast you brought your foot back and not kicking it under the SUV it became easier. I like the extra storage under the cargo floor too. Nice place to keep jumper cables and tool box out of sight. Overall, I am extremely pleased with my new SAV, SUV, whatever!

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!

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).

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.

My fully tuned 2016 3 series sedan was getting high in mileage, I loved everything about that car, from the fit, to the throaty exhaust, the speed, and of course how all BMW vehicles feel like a literal extension of your body. As sad as i was to do so, i decided to trade it in. First, I went to Land Rover/Jaguar, and ended up buying a fully loaded 2019 FPace. It was nice, the luxury features inside made me feel very bougey, until they started to fail, and that didnt take long. ALL the electronics gave out within the first 3 or 4 days and I brought it back. The dealer then put me in the fully loaded 2024 evoque, and wow that felt nice. Luxury feel throughout. But... With both those vehicles it felt like something was missing. There was an older BMW X1 that had just landed on the lot and I brought the Evoque back and test drove that. As soon as i sat down in the (far less) luxury BMW, i knew this was the car I wanted. Before i even left the parking lot, I knew this was the one i wanted. Yes, it didnt have all the bells and whistles like the bigger x5, the evoque or f pace, but the difference in drive was immediately apparent. Responsive, tight turning radius, the steering wheel had the perfect level of feedback and the 12 way driver and passenger seat molded perfectly to me. And... its zippy. Maybe not as quick as the sedan, but this car lives at 140, effortlessly. In fact i drove this x1 all the way across USA and Canada nonstop, twice at an average speed of 110mph, or around 180km/h, averaging at around 700km/tank (or around 5.5l/100km and never once felt driving fatigue or had any issues. BMW knows how to do cars right. I think the biggest thing most people will think when buying a bmw is maintenance, but as long as you dont buy parts from the dealership and do all the proper maintenance (3rd party bmw mechanics are true enthusiasts who know BMW better than dealership mechanics) you will be fine. ie: MAF from BMW 800$. The same part number not branded with bmw at any other store, 30$. ive been thinking about tuning this car aswell, but honestly, it is almost a complete package and doesnt really need it. This is a perfect grocery getter, long distance travel car, short run vacationer, everyday ride that will keep you happy. The b48 engine is legendary. truly.

I’ve had my new 2020 X1 for a month. It is everything I was hoping for and much more. Clearly the best vehicle I have owned. I am a very satisfied customer! Thank you, BMW!

I came from being a Mercedes Benz owner to leasing a BMW. I never once had one issue with my MB. Since starting my lease with a brand new BMW X1 I have had issue after issue and the BMW Service department can never find anything wrong. However my trunk opens by itself all the time (just happened again yesterday). Also sometimes the car makes noises that aren't normal. It seems to be falling apart at less than 9,000 miles. The BMW brand logo on the FRONT of the suv is also chipping away. Wow I am sooooo disappointed in this piece of junk. I have called the BMW service department and have been called back saying they would do something but then never heard anything else. Its been over a week and I called again and was taken to voicemail, left a message and .......still guess what .....never was called back. I think they are worried about letting me out of my lease BUT all I want is a car that works!

It drives great. I love that I can change from Eco, Comfort, and Sport mode. The car sits up high so I have a fairly good view of all the road even though I'm fairly short. Perfect compact SUV!
