Nice
I didn’t like the fact the mirrors don’t fold and the mirrors in the cars don’t light up. Otherwise it’s a nice SUV.

Much better than expected
I was on the fence about purchasing a smaller SUV. I am a BMW sedan owner and have been for a few decades. BMW is my choice. I even tried out other vehicles, but none of them compaired the BMW. So back to the X1. I gave it a go on a test drive, I also drove one for a few days as a loaner car as my 330 was being serviced by the dealer. The X1 had all the nuances that I expected, blew away the others in acceleration and handling. I was worried about the room in the back seat. As i sat in the back seat, I was amazed, absolutely amazed. It has so much room , more than I expected. Plenty of head room , hip , shoulder, and leg room. I am able to get golf clubs in , tennis ball machine , art work , and more in the cargo area with the back seat down. Perfect in a compact SUV. I was delighted with everything about my X1. All wheel drive is phenomenal on turns and gravel roads, not to mention in snow. A great fit for me. UPDATE: Ok , I have had my BMW X1 X drive since 2021. I got a great deal on the X1. I was looking for a bronco sport , but was not going to pay $4000.00 over sticker for one. " No Way ! ". I negotiated with BMW and received a great deal , being a current owner of a 330i. I got an incentive from BMW. I was a bit amprenhensive about the size. I dont need a big vehicle , it is just me. I am retired and not carrying around a family. Plus I have another BMW in the drive ay. I was pleased with the seating in the front and back. The rear cargo area is ample, with a bonus smugglers compartment where a spare tire used to be. RF Tires , dont need a spare. Also you can lay down the back seat for more room. The X1 has some get up and go. In sport mode it gets it. Handling , nothing like a BMW. I have had 12 of them so far and never have been dissapointed. But.......... This is the first X1 I purchased. BTY : I leased the other ones for 3 years. The X1 I purchased. BMW has a message center to remind you of your maintenance on the vehicle. Around 32000 miles my brake message came on. the app said rear pad brake replacement. I know the pads are softer than most other vehicles and the stop the vehicle a few inches sooner. I called the BMW dealer and had them done for $526.00. I now have 70,076 miles on my X1 and the brake message came on again. I have to have this done again. I found out the rear pads are thinner than the front and will wear out sooner. You would think BMW would make these pads thicker. I am not real happy wityh this. Other brands that I have purchased in the past, Lincoln ( had 6 of them ) Audi ( had 3 of them ), Ford ( had 23 of them ) Porshe ( had 1 , lots of maintenance requirements ). I always got 60 to 75 thousand miles on the brakes . ( except for the Porsche ). I am easy on the brakes. So you see why this is something I do not understand with BMW. It is such an easy fix. I love my BMW's don't get me wrong. I do expect a higher cost of maintenance on a BMW. But a brake change in less than 30,000 miles from the first one ???? This will not prevent me from purchasing another one, just beware of this rear brake situation.

Beautiful car
It’s a beautiful car, has all the bells and whistles! It makes me feel very safe!
Mouse Magnet wiring destroyed
While I appreciate the acceleration from the turbo, the soy coating on the wiring this car is a magnet for mice which chew thru the wiring. I have never had this problem with any previous cars, kept in the same garage and I've used rodent protection on this car since I had to pay for rewiring and still had to pay for two more wiring repairs.
