[arman]

The latest X1 is a looker now that it's well proportioned and every styling element in the design is just right. Good on you BMW design team!😊

[Krieky]

This car checks so many boxes.
Great review as always!

[thestonetable]

Great review. Always loved this little car.

[ameet]

Good review @Micah. Many people have complaint about the dual clutch transmission being jerky at low speeds specially while moving around in city streets, so how did you find it?

BMW configurator. Active Front Seats including Lumbar Support 

$450

Active front seats help decrease stiffness or fatigue on long trips. When activated, the seat surface is continuously and imperceptibly raised and lowered from side to side, keeping your spine in motion and exercising various support muscles. This feature also includes front seat lumbar support.

I just ordered this color in the M Sport trim w/ the shadow line package! I’m so excited❤

I have owned 3 BMWs....1 in the driveway now.
X1 has improved over the years....its also bigger than
it used to be...seems about the size of the old X3.
That is a sweet color....every one of mine...was black.
..yeah... I'm an expert using spray wax now.
Thanks for your review...have a great week.

I test drove this car but actually ended up getting a Mazda CX 5 Premium Plus which surprisingly offered more space and great features for a lower price. It also doesn't feel like I gave anything up by going with non luxury brand.

How does the current 7 speed DCT compare with the previous generation's 8 speed torque converter automatic transmission?

[MarcTRussell]

I love how Micah flexes and it doesn’t even match the % anymore 😂 💪🏼💪🏼

[tamascsirik]

I had this as a rent car 2 weeks ago and I hated the gearbox when trying to make a fast start in the city. Huge lag compared to my 2022 rav4 hybrid.

[S_Paoli]

I bought the X1 with "Active Seats" option. It comes with lumbar support AND massaging function for both front seats. At only $450 for this option(remember, BOTH front seats), it is quite a bargain. It is the number one option that I recommend to every X1 buyer!

[Ian-mvqq]

I love how you take your entire family in the review/test drive. Really relatable 😃
Things that I hate about this X1 is the no real buttons and the awkward storage under that armrest that is just not practical. You cannot stack things up because it doesn't have walls closing the sides. Really a waste of space.

And if I have to nitpick, the cup holders can be a bit higher. I feel like I have to reach further. And if you have tall cups, they'll be blocking your cellphone in the wireless charger.

About the firm seats, is it because this is the M Sport package with sport seats and dampened suspensions?

[siphesihlenyembezi]

I’m excited about owning this car soon 💃🏽

We bought a new 2023 BMW X1 here in Germany with US Spec's and Love it, Very nice we had one Glitch a month after we got it we begain getting a Hot engine/Hood open alarm Took it to BMW and due to man power shortage and Number of Vehicles in for Maintenace they had it for 3 weeks before getting it into the garage, with No loaner, we were spoiled American were Service was number One. Turned out it was a hood sensor. Overall, for the vehicle we give it a 10

I was driving behind one of these the other day. For about 5 blocks I thought it was the new Honda CR-V
