Just saw today for the first time the X1 in the flesh and I was positively surprised with the design. The proportions are just perfect, as well as some design details... I liked it very much!!

[MoBad-puwh]

Thank you thomas, i got the X1 after watching your previous review on X1. I tried the car before buying and your review was 100% accurate.

[ProjectFairmont]

Had an Msport X1, traded for an X3M Competition. I really liked the way the old X1 drove, but my wife liked a bigger SUV. Space, utility, and driving dynamics, the X3M offered little more in that way on a daily basis. Love the new interior of the X1 and BMW produces such sublime four cylinder.

superb comparison and lots of content, totally enjoyed it. I suggest putting up a head-to-head comparison table at the very end for your analytical viewers ;-)

[matthewottaway]

Very thorough evaluation of the cars. We appreciate the academic, decent, appraisal of the cars, using clean language. Very impressive. We'll be back for more of your car reviews in the future, Lord willing.

[DaMaxchi]

This video comparison is superb!!! Clearly, this must have taken much time and effort to plan and produce. I appreciate the content. Your reviews are the next best thing to actually driving the car themselves. I am considering purchasing an X1 and have watched so many YouTube videos but yours are the definitive statements. After watching this, its the X1 for me....just need to pick a color!!!! Happy Holidays, Thomas!

[dealpt]

Great review! Always a pleasure to watch your videos!!
Quick note - bear in mind that the presented LED headlights are an option/add-on. Meaning that the standard LED come with a much different headlight (as well the DRL, that doesn't even look like a BMW 🤨).
Cheers, keep up the good work!

[ddot]

Great breakdown between these two vehicles! I've been eyeing the new X1 for a while now and I think I'll go ahead and pull the trigger. That engine bay comparison is really interesting and it's nice to see BMW add the attention to detail on something you'll rarely see, but having a clean engine bay is a nice feeling.

I am from India and i bought a Q3 recently since the price difference between Q3 and X1 was huge..I am very happy with car and its worth every penny 👍

[ymlccc]

BMW really steps up the game tremendously. I saw an X1 yesterday and man, i thought that was an X3 because their sizes and shape are so similar now!

[AndreiAnastasescu]

I know it's a lot of work, but keep it up with the comparisons review 👍

[RoyzNL]

Thomas, your videos are from another level! However I've cancelled my Q4-etron order and replaced it by the iX1. Can't wait!

[backinthegame]

What a timely video. I am choosing between these 2 cars today, Saturday 31st, Melbourne Australia as a present for my sister ! Thanks for another great video Thomas !

[PatrickVannie]

As always great video, lots of details and in my eyes the perfect channel for up to date info needed to make a decision. Much appreciated 🙂
Had both these cars on my short list. Have owned 3 BMW's in the past and have good experiences with all 3 cars so i am probably biased towards the BMW. After a test drive today with the BMW X1 xDrive25e, i didn't even bother to go test drive the Audi. The BMW was just that good in regards to power delivery, suspension, interior quality and electric range. In my eyes almost impossible to do better in this category.

[darkobest]

Lane guidance on Q3 was switched off (at 44:10), that’s why the car went off - otherwise lane keeping is superb. Occasionally, lane guidance does switch off inexplicably and one needs to turn it back on in the infotainment (not on turning signal lever). Great review Thomas, thank you!

[francescoometto]

Finalmente una ottima comparativa tra le due regine del mercato Suv di questo livello. Complimenti per il bel video e per tutto il lavoro che avete fatto. Molto utile per scegliere!

[sirzunzu]

Thank you very much for your review. I was trying to decide between these two cars and your review has made the choice to be easier for me. BMW X1 will be te one.

[JayCZ]

Hey Thomas, really like your videos!! Do you have the plan to do another comparison for the 2023 BMW X1 vs the 2.0 4-cylinder X3? Really interested in this comparison personally.
