Missing my 2018 x1 - Disappointing Remodel

I loved my 2018 x1 but needed to replace it due to high mileage. I thought the 2023 would be even better. Unfortunately, it's not. The car hesitates when speeding up. This is NOT safe. The lack of the middle console dial and knobs is annoying. Why get rid of them? That dial was such a great feature. Now you are forced to take your eyes off the road to change the temp or turn the station. Sure, you can use the voice assist but it is slow and unreliable. The other thing that annoys me is that you have to put it in sport mode every time you start the car to disable auto shut-off (car turns off at lights are when not in motion). Sports mode turns the car into a gas guzzler which defeats the purpose of even having an auto shut off feature. The former x1 was petite but had lots of storage areas. Now the car is wider (bulkier) and no longer has the discreet necessary storage areas. Yesterday there was a system update which disabled my blue tooth and my phone won't connect.
Mechanically flawless elcectronically inept

I have had this suv for 5 months. I traded a Tesla Y since highway commutes were challenging with supercharger availability. The vehicle with M sport is mechanically flawless and highway mileage is excellent at 34-36 mpg. The electronics are inept and I have owned 10 prior BMW and Audis. As cars rely more on electronics to control all car functions they have to be more integrated and functional. BMW has always had problems with their electronics but this is the worst. Cons: Some examples: The stop start feature has always been annoying no less with this version. The electronics cannot hold a personal profile, wireless locks work intermittently, continually drops Sirius profiles/memory and the phone charger feature is not functional. When at BMW service it is performing to "specs." It will not charge an Apple iPhone 15 pro at all without a case. It will charge a Samsung at a rate of 1% in 8 minutes=specs. Compared to Tesla electronics I would give it a 4/10. Love driving the car but living with it is disappointing for the price point. BMW should do better by now or outsource their electronics.

X1 ‘23 Still no remedy for IBS/DSC systems

Update Oct 24: I contacted BMW by letter and their rep responded with a phone call. I explained my utter disappointment at the glacial pace of their Recalls remedies and the virtually non existent Customer Service at all levels. The rep had no answers and was absolutely no help. I am done with the brand. I want to know my vehicle is reasonably safe. I have doubts about this one. Update: X1 '23 Recall notice was issued for the Integrated Braking System (IBS) Feb. 2024. It is mid April and there is no remedy and no service call. 😢 The fuel door would not open when I went to get gas and I've read online others have had similar problem. Fortunately. I had enough gas to travel a long distance, because the local BMW Service where I was, said it would take two days to get the part for the repair and that was the case. TWO DAYS. (Previous review)...it is quite nice. I was looking at more cargo, but BMW was making offers for my very low mileage 2020 2 Gran Coupe and offered the same lease on a new 2023, but as everyone knows, it’s all about supply and there weren’t any at my dealer. My salesperson had a notion, it was the X1 they were using as a demo, 41 miles, 2 months old. From the moment I got in, the upgrade in quality reflected in the seats was palpable. Love the engine, don’t love the Dual clutch. The start/stop is annoying and deactivating it each time you drive is worse. I am appalled at the ConnectedDrive. This program is the worst of the worst. I urge you all to read carefully the terms and conditions before clicking thru. You may have purchased heat capable seats, but you may have to subscribe to BMWs service in order to heat them. It is happening in Australia now! That is only the beginning. I may be parting ways with them if they push this anti-customer service down our throats. But I love the X1. Smooth drive, sporty, and luxurious….no, really this time.

The car is agreeable to drive. The uptake from a stop involves some hesitation, as noted in most reviews. Its ability to remember and back the car out of the garage by itself is something I really like because my garage is narrow. The voice commands for navigation aren’t great. Neither is the map display. And the menu system for setting up options is too complicated. The front camera does not automatically turn on in driving head first into a space— you have to turn it on yourself. Rear cross traffic safety warning is just a subtle thunk, thunk, thunk, and car has to be in reverse. My Toyota is much louder, has a visual and audio warning, and is more aware. Ride is reasonably quiet and pretty good on bumps with my 18” wheels. On highway at a pretty steady 75mph get 36mpg. But in suburban driving, which is far from full of traffic lights, get about 22mpg.

Poor Reliability, Even Worse BMW Customer Service

Took delivery December 2023; Sold the BMW X1 April 2025 due to terrible reliability, dealerships not fixing the car correctly and BMW Corporate being no help. In the first year, the car was back at the dealership 5 times for a total of 48 days. And chronic electronic malfunctions were *never fixed* in spite of the fact that I provided 101 photos and videos of various system malfunctions, they repeatedly told me they couldn't replicate some of the problem so they refused to replace the computer. For good measure, I brought the car to a 2nd dealer for one of those visits, reached out to BMW Customer Service and filed a Lemon Law Buy Back Appeal. BMW refused to help. Each BMW representative I worked with was more inept than the one before. Problems included: -Chronic loss of Apple Car Play connection with no ability to reconnect (literally hundreds of times and the iPhone 15 Pro Max works fine on our other vehicles) -Dash board screen malfunctions, error messages, and spontaneous menus popping up without prompt that caused temporary loss of use of maps, radio functions, climate control, etc. -Air Bag Malfunction Warning Light (a software module was replaced for that) -Intermittent loss of safety systems: collision mitigation, rear traffic alert, blind spot monitoring, automatic braking for no diagnosable reason. -Power seat memory loss intermittently -Doors not locking or folding mirrors intermittently -5 Braking System Recalls that took 6+ months to get fixed (this goes against NHTSA Guidelines)* -Major Transmission Recall that took 7 months to get fixed (also against NHTSA Guidelines)* I made it abundantly clear that if the car was not fixed or replaced, that they would be losing a repeat customer. Clearly BMW doesn't value my business. This was my 2nd and last BMW.
