THE NEW X1 - Has BMW got this one JUST right? (Review) UK 4K

Did BMW slip something in my drink? They seem to have gotten it spot on with the new X1. What are your thoughts?

Big shout out to Amelia who sacrificed a spin the the X7 M60i to film this for me 🥹 Hope you all enjoy the video!

I currently own a 2019 X1 and I am in love with it - also helped by the fact it came with a panoramic sunroof, it does make all the difference - and while I aim to keep this for a good few years, I would definitely have another X1 in its place!
Also, I am loving the green on the X1 in this video. All of my yes - but I understand it is not for everyone!

That green paint needs beige interior and wood trim.

Liked the facts& figures cards at start👍

[richardwarner]

Love that colour, gives the car a classy look !

Shame they've ditched I drive controller, I always applauded BMW for keeping it, I don't know how touch screens can be allowed, we can't have mobile phones and touching a screen is really the same!Great review and great reviewer.

Possibly the best looking BMW on sale, and yes, I like the green paintwork. Very Barbour.

I enjoyed watching the Video Review. More space now and the Interior looks smarter 😊

We had the X1 2021, now we are waiting for our New X1.
Good review!

The one thing I have noticed on the RHD versions is they have not flipped the center console around, meaning that it opens away from the driver. Have you noticed this?

I have had the previous generation for 4 years and it's been absolutely brilliant. Love the new model look and interior and will definitely be upgrading next year to the X1 x-line

Coming from F48 variant
This one looks cool back to the future when that first came out
Thanks for sharing

Love this! How do you feel about the new 23 z4 and 3 series

It looks great and more practical than before. Test drove the competition and wasn’t impressed by Q3 or XC40. Test driving this next weekend and probably going to buy one 😍

How is this car with 1500 three cylinder engine? I'm looking to buy but worried about the power train

Oct 23 I live in North West Uk I've owned A BMW X1 2020 18i petrol 2 wheel drive (front only) with Sunroof M Sport for 2.5 yrs. This car come specced with M Sport Pro has mahoosive blue brakes and 19 inch wheels, sunroof and electro tail gate. Having owned 3 BMW over the years now BMW seem to pile on the electronic gadgets on newer cars obviously to sell them. The storage space on the newer version is about 40 ltrs more about one medium size suite case larger. I've previously taken 5 people including my self in my 2020 X1 version with admittedly 5 or 6 very large soft sided bags to the airport for a one week holiday abroad with out a real problem. Re two wheel drive my car is occasionally driven over rough muddy wet ground. The front two whee drive (remember) has the heavy engine over the front drive wheels that helps to press the weight down to pull the vehicle through snow or mud. Obviously the lack of four wheel drive on my X1 made it cheaper but I didn't really need a 4x4 that would be more expensive and slightly more expensive to run and not a feature I would want unless I lived in a very snowy or hilly area, which I get would be required. With Mocha leather heated seats adaptive cruise and comfort access the reversing camera is handy my X1 also has a self parallel park feature I don't even use. Why? Because by the time I've sat waiting trying to remember how to use it, a parking space has come free. Whether I would use a the other reverse parking (standard Car park type bay feature) If my car had it I don't know, probably not. This is is because I like to park my X1 in a space where people can get past a lot more easily and other car doors are less likely to be opened in a car park damaging a car door. Also because any car parked in a supermarket is likely to get struck by a loose or careless shopping trolley I tend to be careful where I park the reversing camera makes it easy. With a sunroof, a very large touch screen (we don't use the touch part often) preferring the idrive scroller which to my mind is great. MY wife loves this car.

What a stunning car and fantastic review!
Love the car, welldone BMW

How’s the cabin noise? (Db levels)? We could hear the road noises quite clearly… have watched a few YouTube reviews and in all of them it sounds loud… I had the old X1 and it was loud on UK roads… was hoping new version was quieter. A shame none of the reviews online talk about such an important point 😢

[Rossi]

I like it. Even in the green (ok, I’m 63) and at least it doesn’t have a baby vomit interior. We have an X1 25d which I love other than road noise which is obtrusive especially on the dreadful concrete sections of the M25. Our recent 2, 650 mile trip to Slovenia and back gave close to 50mpg but I don’t see great figures for the new range. The X1 to me is so much smaller than the X3 yet has very little less in terms of interior. On my list.

Plz update on the Air-conditioning, Suspension Noise, Steering rack clatter, which was a minus in the outgoing model.
