Definitely better looking than it's predecessor!

[OntarioAndrews]

Nice looking X1 for 2023. Definitely something to consider if one is in the market and looking in that sector. Thanks for posting/sharing. Cheers!

[johnferraro]

Thanks for this well explained video on the x1. Because of you, I just ordered one with M-Sport / Premium Package and a few more goodies. It's on the Germany assembly line now and due in NY in early September...Your video made me pull the plug on this awesome vehicle!

[bobdavis]

48th thumbs up! Other than that pug looking grille, even then, this is a looker. ❤ Superb review as usual, Lauren!

Love the looks and interior of this new X1 😍

[vsecwzd]

Are there thigh supports that move out on the front of the seats. The passenger side looked like it was pulled out a little. Beautiful color on the exterior with a beautiful color inside. Love the very sharp screens and the colors.

Like a decade or earlier, smaller cars from luxury brands weren’t any worse than the bigger ones, but last few years the interiors were a let down, good to see smaller cars having nice finish again. Besides the designed in Mexico 2 series

[jamesscott]

What would make you consider this over say a Hyundai or Mazda? Or is that just a silly question?

[johnbrews]

Some reviewers found car jerky at low speeds. Complain about shifts and stop/start. Any observations?

[koioo]

look like a real car compare the old one

[RonnieGreher]

No lumbar? Makes no sense! Other than that seems like a great redesign and overall vehicle. Who is still subscribing to SiriusXM. Give us CarPlay AA, and that’ll do it for most. Is premium fuel required? That’s a huge deal breaker for me. The dash and center display look fantastic. Only way to buy a car like this is lease. They are designed to be great for 3-5 years and drop way off after that. I can only hope that the tires aren’t run flat. Another feature liked by nobody except the car makers.

[RobustArid]

I wish I could afford to buy one for my beautiful wife, i would be so happy to work for it.

[bextar]

Can't believe no lumbar support on a $48, 000 car and now it's ok with you.
When you complained about vehicles not having it on the passenger seat many, many times over the years.
Are you mellowing with age ?

[JulieVanAmeyde]

Going to stay with an X3. I drove the last X1 version for 6 months and traded it in.

3rd comment. BMW endless money pits. Too much plastics usage in these cars that they leak very often.
