I think this X1 has the same amount of passenger space as the X3 now. Looks great!

[islanddon]

Looks terrific. At $40k starting, it may be successful. Upgrade the engine for REAL POWER and you're starting at $49k. I would consider it, but my next purchases will strictly be Hybrids.

I just baught the 2023 X1.

It took me a couple of months to get used to it.

It’s exceptionally adaptive.

I looked at the A3 and the GLA AMG. The X1 was by a million miles, the best in its class. In my opinion.

Fun to drive. Comfortable and small.

I drive an Xline X1 with 18” wheels, sport seats, lumbar support, heated wheel, adaptive cruise, etc $45K. The car is roomy, quick, and nimble. On highway at 75mph gets 36mpg. About 22mpg in suburban driving. Has a wonderful feature of automatically backing itself out of a tight parking space by remembering how you put it there. It has three drawbacks. 1) The menu system is complicated and awful. 2) On a washboard it feels like a minor earthquake. 3) Starting up from a stop it lags and/or jumps ahead. In a tight spot, a sudden jump is disconcerting.

You can also create a shortcut for the stop and start mode to be turned off so if you don't want to be on sport mode.

I was wondering if you’ve ever reviewed the M35i trim.
Was thinking of getting that one in July/August 2024.

[KuyaArbee]

biggest issue the center console.... the center console is practically USELESS! what was BMW thinking... just use a traditional center console for STORAGE...

Can’t believe how much your channel has grown Kirk! 210k already 🔥 much respect bro. Watching your journey inspires me, wish you much success as the channel continues to grow!

[randyreynolds]

Very fast and outstanding build quality❤

[waynewallace]

That software is a headache. I'm not going to a screen for AC/Heat.

[craigo]

Great looking inside and out, but, wouldn't consider BMW anymore for reliability. Once DCT doesn't work for me in city driving. Just my opinions.

[peterscanlon]

Nice car and review! Do you have to order the M trim to get the Shadowline or can you order a base version with a blacked out grill?

[phillm]

Great video. I’m researching this for my next car. I’ll give it 2 yrs for them to iron it out.
Btw- great choice for TV. I’ve had the exact same for some time. Great 4k clarity.

[qcdrcdq]

Exactly, start stop is a safety hazard!

[robertyaaa]

Finally see new cars that is interesting !

[iGaleboy]

btw, can I ask the brand and name of that grey half-zip shirt?😅

[alengreen]

I like it. I wanted to buy one in Germany but unfortunately it was to expensive for me and at the end I buy, with the same size, HP and options, a Sportage for $ 20k less. Thanks Kirk.

[kenfrankel]

How does this compare handling wise with a Stelvio ? ( I currently have a CX-5)

[ronaldho]

Nice review! Will you test-drive the M35i model in the near future?

[arlenes]

Can't get away from the impression that in spite of the kidney grill and beautiful blue paint (Why can't Lexus do a blue like that?) it looks like a hightop sneaker with wheels. That's the way most SUVs look when they want to sell "space". Not everyone is 6 feet tall, and the back seat of such a car is generally for children. Or your mother-in-law.
BMW is known for performance - no argument there. Fuel economy? Hybrid? Dependability?
I also can't believe how much this channel has changed. Not surprised it has grown.
