Excellent
Spent a lot of time researching smaller sporty high end SUV. Never owned a BMW before. Coming from an Acura RDX. The X1 is excellent. Drives like a sports car especially in Sport mode. Perfect size. Somehow Smaller than competition on outside but much bigger on the inside. Surprising how much room on the inside. Car is comfortable well appointed. Was headed for a bad collision and had to slam on break and jerk the wheel hard right then left. The X1 held steady with no skid or even a lean. Amazing. Shopped around and got the car with a lot of upgrades for under 39k. I have 5k miles and averaging about 28mpg as I use eco drive for long drives on highway.

Ripping around in my mom-car. LOL
Coming out of new X6M and with a 911 and M4 in my garage you would think the X1 would be a huge step down. It kind of is, but... this thing just puts a smile on my face. It's zippy and it handles and brakes well. The powertrain runs smooth and fairly strong. It drives beautifully on the highway. I call it a GTI-plus because it feels light and flickable like a GTI but has AWD and more space. It gets great reviews from the pros and I can't disagree with them. Sure, it understeers a little but if you accelerate through corners the understeer goes away. Drive it aggressively and it will reward you. The front seats are probably the worst part of the car. They are not horrible, but should be better at this price point. Halogen headlights on a $43,000 vehicle are pretty ridiculous, too. They are lousy, especially if you're used to LED, Xenon or HD. The back seat space is excellent for this sized car, as is the storage space. My 6-foot son has plenty of room. The interior design is very nice and utilitarian and the features/options are excellent. I have driven in a ton of snowstorms this year in the mountains and it is phenomenal in the snow. Averaging 25 MPG in mixed driving. Very happy overall. For the lease price on the left over 2018 ($299/ month with $4000 due at signing) it's a fantastic vehicle.

Safety concerns
Just picked up my BMW X1 which has the M sport package. Although the detail inside looks very nice, my vehicle has a highly reflective chrome panel on the dashboard. During daytime and especially during sunny days this chrome strip is reflected on both side mirrors which makes it difficult to see anything other than this strip in the side mirror. Only way to see through the drivers side mirror is to put my hand against the side window to block out the reflection from this strip. I really feel this is utterly bad design which is a fairly serious safety concern.

What I love most...
I love the "Sport Mode" on the interstate . I felt as thought I was driving my 2 Series again - very responsive and agile. I moved down to this car, from a 2 series sedan, then an X3, to this (for fuel economy while driving in town), and within a few days I realized I'd made a mistake. While it's smaller, has great gas mileage (two things I wanted), I am paying for less quality materials with the smaller car. The seats look and feel like poor quality and are not comfortable. I can't hold my hydroflask (small one) in the cup holders. The interior does not feel like quality. While I researched, the dealer locally did not have an X1 on hand, only X2. I wish I hadn't pulled the trigger on this sport version. No chrome on the outside. I look forward to my lease ending. UPDATE: Almost 2 years later....I have to say I like my car better. I love the size for me any my dog....I didn't know this at the time but this car DOES NOT HAVE BACK UP BEEPING...I can't tell you how many times I've come close to hitting other cars (used to having this feature). I still love the agility (no tickets yet), as you can take it from from being subtle too "bat out of hell" mode. I love all the other features, but remain the same. I think I'll go X3 again.

still the best small SUV for some situations
Plus - peppy, agile, good interior space for this class of vehicle. 70" width makes for easy parking. Negative - Expensive - Some safety features only in top trim. Not the best MPG considering it needs premium gas. BMW long term reliability means you should lease v buy, but lease deals are fairly aggressive.

Best in Class - Perfect for the tech geek
I agree with Edmunds review of the x1. I drove all the competition in this class (Mercedes, Audi, Lexus & BMW) and the x1 checks all the boxes. Tons of extra high-tech goodies that you’ll be discovering long after you’ve taken one home. I agree with the mild noise and ride comfort issues, but the other manufacturers had the same issue, and the Mercedes GLA was much worse. We’ve had the x1 for for just over a month and are very happy with our choice. Shout-out for the totally wireless Apple Car Play that was not available in this class from any other luxury manufacturer - it sealed the deal.

Great performance, worst seats
High- great BMW styling; LED headlights; exceeds estimated mpg; handles like a sports car even in econo mode; generous cargo space. Lows- seats are very hard, worst BMW seats I've ever had; lacking BSM safety feature; braking not as good as previous X1 models; no Android compatibility.

Ohhhh Yeaaaa!!
Gotta say, this was and is a very fine performance car. It handles so well. It wants to please you with acceleration, cornering, technology, comfort and eye appeal. Need I go further? Ok, it sticks to the road wet or dry, eases you back as you accelerate and makes the 2nd lane on the highway a place to sprint or cruise! Not to be to direct but the German's know how to engineer and build a fine tuned car! Everything is designed for performance and functionality with subtle eye pleasing lines and surprises! Think we have become BMW owners for life!

love it but old technology
We leased this BMW because it was their least expensive lease. BMW always does this. Even if the MSRP is higher, they will offer different vehicles with lower leases since they don't have a lower priced vehicle. Now they have the 2 Series Gran Coupe, but as of right now, the X1 lease is still less where equipped identically. The X1, X2, and 2 Series Gran Coupe are all based on the same platform. So plan that the X1 will have the most rear seat room and rear storage followed by the X2 and series. Our X1 has the PDC and rear camera which are welcome must-haves. The rear and rear quarter visibility is MUCH better and safer than the X2. Since we have both, the rear seat room is the same in X1 and X2. It's the rear storage that is much more in the X1. Since we already had an X2 with sport seats and 19" wheels and since we wanted to save money, our X1 has 18" wheels and no sport package. It rides much softer this way and is easier to get in and out of. It also has the heated steering wheel which we love. It is excellent all-around and we use it for all of our errands. Really feels like a BMW. We HATE that it doesn't have blind spot detection or rear cross traffic alert. The front crash alert is a joke and only a toy. Even in the most sensitive setting, it only provides a dim red light on the dash and way too late and close. Totally useless. There are Nissans with AWD that are half the price that come with all these features and much more as standard. We heard the new 2-series Gran Coupe has more features. We also heard the next gen X1 and X2 will have them. Unfortunately we now have an interior rattle coming from the right side. We had another one that they attributed to a loose bolt in the sunroof track. Now we have another one that the dealer has not been able to isolate. I'm sorry but this should not happen in a $46K vehicle. Something is loose, out of place, or not tightened down properly hidden somewhere in the right side front passenger area. We hear it every day and it is scary that the dealer would have to take apart the interior to try to find it which could make things worse.... In a design that's been around since 2015, we hoped they would have gotten rid of all the bugs by now. Otherwise, although this is an older design begging for an update it is still quite excellent as an every day vehicle. Excellent ride and sporty feel. Great performance that other companies continue to try to copy. This is the original and is still obviously a BMW. Just a note, we will NEVER get a daily driver again without rear cameras, PDC, blind spot monitors, and rear cross traffic alerts.

Meh
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.

Not impressed at all!
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...

BMW Sports Car, Not little SUV
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.

Great car
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.

This car is noisy cheaply built terrible ride 34,000 mi breaks and tires needed to be changed I would give it minus one star that's how bad this car is because of this car I will never go to BMW again it rides like a Nissan Altima every single bump you can feel extremely uncomfortable when I complain to the dealer that the seats and the steering wheel does not get hot enough they tell me people complain and they have lawsuits against them that's why it does not heat up like an Audi or a Lexus give me a break

BMW X1
Love this suv so far! Perfect size for me, I am 5’0 female so if you’re on the petite side but still want an suv this car is for you! Got the convenience package that comes with a lot of upgraded features, so being an X1 it still is very nice. Smooth ride & amazing gas mileage!
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.

Nice design
Overall the 2021 X1 was smooth. Had decent tech and good performance. The moon roof feature is very attractive as well. My only draw back is that it could have a bit more space in the trunk. Perhaps the X3 would checks that box for a higher price.
Smooth ride
This car drive smooth and still has the get up and go when you give it the gas. Lots of luxeries and comforts of a high priced car. I would recommend to anyone looking for a sporty luxery car

Wish I would have read reviews before I purchased!
Likes- size, style, heated seats and steering wheel are great, rear cargo space is unique and more than you would expect, good gas mileage Dislikes- Here we go... Seats are not as comfortable as I would hope in a luxury vehicle Requires mid-grade gas (my bank account hates this one) Oil changes are super pricey Back seat is difficult to exit due to the rear wheel well Center console may as well not exist, it's TINY If you don't read the manual, you won't even know that you have a heated steering wheel (the control is in a odd place) THE CUP HOLDERS!!!!- They are in the most ridiculous spot (under the a/c controls). If you have a tall cup or bottle, you have to tilt it to get it in and out of the cup holder. I know to some people this may seem trivial, but I spend a lot of time on the road and now look at cup holders in every vehicle wondering why BMW made the decision to make them so inconvenient.

Poorly executed vehicle
Awful. The brakes are non-linear. They present a soft pedal and then grab hard and abruptly. The transmission engages roughly from a stop. The engine restarts roughly after automatically stopping at places like stoplights. The navigation system refuses to reroute the trip when you clearly chose another route. Instead it bitches at you to do a U-turn at every opportunity until you reach your destination or shut it off. Just a week earlier I had rented a Malibu (not my 1st choice). Surprisingly, this BMW was inferior to the Chevy.
