Thanks for watching! Good point - I do agree that after getting used to the strange throttle mapping, it didn’t feel as noticeable. Just probably will be unpleasant for people initially testing the car out :)

Thanks for watching Jan! I believe this car had a convenience package that added a few features, but I might be misremembering haha! The LED lights were definitely standard though.

NO real leather option for the US/Canadian models, they offer Sensatec II (perforated vinyl) i may add... yeah, that airport rental x1 has just the basics... those rims on 18" all season tires come standard.

@@hawaiiguy1 well I just ordered mine and didn’t have lots of budget to pick any of the the options, so mine comes with 17 inch as standard

@@StevensCarReviews Well, the LED lights here shown are the adaptive ones, you need to pay extra. The standard ones are like shown here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mZ50itmaydqbaX0.html

@@JanEeckhaut perhaps you should have mentioned that in your first comment since now I believe you are from another country besides US or Canada. Seventeen inch rims/tires would look quite small, as even on one local US review by a BMW reviewer in San Jose, CA that 18s look way too small.

Thanks for watching, glad you found the video helpful! I’ll try and answer some of your questions, but unfortunately the car was a rental from National Car Rental at SFO Airport, so I don’t have any insight on the ordering process :( The self park option comes as part of the ‘Parking Assistance’ feature which is standard on all 2023 X1s! I never used it but it does seem pretty cool :)

The self parking is demoed on KZfaq. My experience is with the automated back up. The car will back out if my garage by itself by remembering how I drove in. Because my garage is tight, I really enjoy letting the car move out by itself - no need to worry about banging a side mirror on the door frame.

in my case. my car finished production on 10/31, went to Zeebrugge, Belgium where it sat at the dock there from 11/7 to 1/17/23. Then the transport ship went up the coast to Emden, Germany, then to Southhampton, Great Britain and then down to drop off vehicles in Cartagena, Columbia, then through the Panama Canal. Then one stop in Lazaro Cardenas, Mexico, then next stop in San Diego before reaching Port Hueneme, then to the BMW Processing Center in Oxnard, CA. My x1 was on board the transport ship, Heritage Leader. Left Zeebrugge on 1/19 and reached Port Hueneme, CA on 2/15.

I ordered mine November 5th and received it January 7th. of course now they probably have them in stock. The stop start feature is not so bad. Sometimes there is a slight (maybe 1 second) hesitation when you hit the acceleration. I love the vehicle. I traded in my 2019 three series because I wanted something more roomy and accessible.

@@larryfuqua7621 Mine took longer and it felt like an eternity. Ordered online and confirmed at the dealership on 4/1 and picked it up 7/22. 4/24 first appeared on the website tracking. 6/11 left Veebrugge port. 7/4 crossing the Panama canal. 7/13 arrived Pt Hueneme 7/20 arrived at dealership but not ready. 7/22 picked up at the dealership.

i take off/deactivate the on/off start/stop (which you have to do every time you start the car --- I use their shortcut to get to that screen) and eliminates that lag off the start. I am satisfied with my MSport since receiving it April 10th !

@@hawaiiguy1 yeah that sounds terrible having to turn it off every time tbh

@@matttyfresh got so used to it... no big deal at all...

Hey there Sunil, the 2023 X1 has a turbo four cylinder! Definitely didn’t feel underpowered from my experience :)

@@StevensCarReviews They are offering petrol engine 3 cylyder in India. That's why I am asking if I should go with a 4 cylynder diesel version by paying more $3661. Please advise

Ahh gotcha! Sorry I don’t know how the 3 cylinder is, so I can’t really make a re recommendation!

BMW does it all the time. Most BMW's are easily faster than listed. The X1 xdrive25e we ordered does 0-100 km/h in 6.8s (listed). Reviewers tested the car to go 6.3s 0-100 km/h (it was even with 2 passengers).

@@koenvanderveer9233 definitely not by 1 second less. this is HUGE! no one is so stupid to do this. they could have easily marketed it better had it been correct. most likely there is an error involved.

​@@Andrei-kh6kr The xdrive28i goes from 0-60mph in 6.2s (listed). Reviewers got to 5.5s ish. I'm just saying that it isn't uncommon for BMWs to be listed a bit slower than they actually are.

@@koenvanderveer9233 and I am saying it most likely was some kind of error. Period. Almost a second less is huge at those times. Errors are possible you know.

​@@Andrei-kh6kr Enough proof on youtube to figure it out yourself. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aNJ0jNtkqJzSeY0.html&ab_channel=Jazdime for instance. almost .6 from listed time with passengers. Make of it what you will.
