First BMW that I've owned and will be the last. Bought it new in November of 2018 and 500 miles in it had a major steering issue that took the dealership weeks to figure/fix and no loaners available around holidays so I was stuck driving a Nissan versa that felt like it would fall apart at 55 mph. The issue was fixed and no problems with that since. Drives fine. Weatherstrip along the edge of windshield looks like its 10 years old after a year and the dealer says it's not their problem but something I've done. I park in a garage at night and in an open parking lot at the office. We take good care of our vehicles so it's not something I've done. Not worth the money and technology is lagging behind most competitors. Also the worst cooling AC I've ever seen. It has these two vents on the dash behind the info screen that blow a lot of air but the other vents suffer because of this and you literally can feel the air coming out of the other front vents without it on high. Update: Got rid of it because it had too many problems. Also got rid of 2016 328. AVOID BMWs! Not worth the hassle.

I "upgraded" from a Jeep Cherokee to brand new X1 lease but after 18months of use, I am not impressed and not happy at all. You expect a better engine with some performance, the engine is still better than my 2015 Jeep but not by much. Jeep had better materials, at least everything you touched felt expensive and that's not the case for X1. I am also getting cracking noises from the back seats, since the seats are multi position the mechanism is rattling and service is useless. They will be nice and have a look at it for a day or so but never ever fixed an issue with noise so far. My GF has a Chevy cruse and that thing is much smoother in terms of noises. On top this car has absolutely no technology. Small screen with no navigation. I have 2 BMWs and it is really discouraging to see that competition closed the gap with the engine and ahead of BMW at least 10years in terms of infotainment technology. This was not the case when I got my first brand new BMW at 2006. Now I am really waiting for my lease to end to get a Tesla or back to Jeep if I want to go cheap. Update: 6/3/2020: Still same issues and this car is not worth to own it, as soon as my lease ends I am switching to a Tesla, done with really fragile stuff that barely works. Update: 12/06/2020: after driving X3 and getting a really good deal on it, I still decided to go ahead and order Tesla Model Y. I still don’t think BMW has enough technology in terms of entertainment and self driving and electrification... so I will not be happy with a 2l engine and older looking vehicle...

Amazing! My favorite car ever--first BMW, now forever a fan. Owned a new RX7 rotary and preowned Lexus SC400; just not the same. It's so nice when things just work right! Not luxury for comfort's sake, a Good car in every aspect is luxurious! So sensitive! Touch the gas any speed, you immediately go faster. Touch the brakes, you're going slower! They deserve their motto, after a couple weeks. Driving is Fun again! 31.8 mpg highway right now.

A year later: same review. Great car, balky pairing with car play. has been greatly improved with expensive software updates from bmw. I would say now that the Infotainment, although a bit strange design, is essentially functional and useful. We bought our X1 5/2023, 32K miles, certified pre owned and are super satisfied with this vehicle. Fun to drive, useful cargo space, great in cities for parking, looks good.

It is just BMW name and faster acceleration, but not a good control.
