Is BMW back on form? 2024 BMW X1 review

BMW's latest version of the X1 SUV takes a bit of a departure from the norm, prioritising cabin space over driving pleasure. But does it still feel like a proper BMW? Join Tim for an in-depth review of the X1 – in sDrive18d form – as he looks at the tech, infotainment, rear-seat space, boot space and driving ability.

Agreed re iDrive controller omission / foot shooting!
What a thing to do!
I remember using iDrive 1 though, and anything is better than that 😂

Leased one about 1 year ago. Pretty happy with it, but had "drivetrain" error on screen that shut the car down in less than a minute, that made it underivable. Called BMW Roadside and towed to dealer and not returned back in over a month?

Was seriously thinking about buying a X1...until I heard the doors shut!

If it's anything like the older model, it's heavy, doesn't inspire confidence when cornering, and the ride is too stiff. Straight line performance is fun tho (X1 25d)

Waiting for mine😢 it’s supposed to start production on April 7

We test drove one and it was nice to drive but the quality is not great compared to my G21 320D Touring. The interior felt a bit too bling and a bit plasticky.

Ah, the same car is always cheaper in the US. I’ll look it up in €.
Thanks

X1 is just pure garbage.The only thing good about it is the exterior design.
