Tack så mycket for the review!!! I used to live in Stockholm for 1 year :( my sister is a psychiatrist in Stockholm. Now I am in Gold Coast, waiting for delivery ix1 for my wife, now she is driving a Lexus NX300 hybrid, a good car, but to buy a new Lexus NX300, you need to wait for 2 years. Next month we are moving to a new house with solar panels, it is one of the reasons for buying an electric car and particularly a BMW because no choice for an SUV at this price. I got the price of my ix1 with M Package 56 500 euro with 19 inches wheels. I like Tesla, but I don't like the quality after Lexus. My colleague owner of the Hyundai ionic is a really good car, but not an SUV. He has Tesla M3 Performance as well, and he mentioned that Hyundai has much better quality and much silence. Actually in Australia Tesla is sitting 3 places in sales among all cars 😮

Thanks, a good report. Expect they improve the app. My general experience after 600 km ok.

Congrats on this amazing car. I saw the X1 up close last week at the dealership and I was really surprised by the striking look of this car.

Simply the best independent video reviews and instructions for this car. My iX1 arrives early May I hope.

Very detailed update, thanks for sharing! I live in Australia and enjoy watching the videos regarding your car! My Cape York Green X1 (non electric) XDrive20i M Sport with 20 inch wheels, enhancement pack and black Vernasca leather arrives in three weeks! I’m very excited!

Wow, what a brilliant presentation and review of the new iX1 👍 very informative, detailed, balanced and with some great tips and advice!! 🙂 I’ve just subscribed please keep up the great work!! 👍 I just got a new i4 and I’m absolutely blown away it’s the best car with out question I’ve ever owned. It’s very interesting to see the differences between the two operating systems over these two amazing cars. It’s funny there are some great features that you have on the iX1 e.g augmented reality feature with directional arrows.. I don’t have that!! (( But I prefer the familiarity of the idrive wheel.. ;) great video, really enjoyed!! Best regards from Yorkshire, UK ✅

Thank you for another useful video!

Respect for this great video!

Thank you for the very nicely made review. I'm sure the range will be much better in the summer. When my lease ends in 1 1/2 years, I will be looking very very closely at the iX1.

Very helpful - Thank you

What a great review! very helpful!

Very good and objective review! well done ! Thank you for sharing…

Such a good and complete video, thank you sir

Again SUPER helpful Information. Thanks a lot

after about 2 months (like you) & 3.700 km driving my iX1 in Austria during winter time & the alps: average consumption 22.1 kWh/100km (70 % highway, max speed allowed 130 km/h) i totally agree with you: range & charging is not good, but also not bad

Great review. Is it annoying difference in display hight? The main driver seems to be smaller screen in height then the infotainment screen. Thank you

Nice vlog. Just signed up a 3 year leasing in Norge for a iX1M-sport30 with all options....

Love all your shares. Quick question, does iX1 have "Camp Mode" to keep air condition on for hours? Thank yo in advance.

We are looking at purchasing a ix1 M Sport as our first EV. New Zealand winter conditions are generally not as severe as in Sweden but your review is very helpful.

Good stuff!!! 🎉 it’s a nice ride

I have the car for 4 days as a test. Damn I miss the central control button so hard. And buttons for media and climate. Drives great. Love the overall quality feeling. Looks great too. I don’t understand why the central box space under the arm rest is now open. I doubt you can really drive 400 kms. But I would trade my 318d Touring immediately. Would still hesitate for an i4 though. Thank you for the review.

I ordered the X1 23i M Sport, should have been delivered in October 22, unfortunately it I’ve had to wait until this week (17th February for it to be delivered to the dealership, I’ve had the M pro and comfort packs fitted. I will pick it up on the 2nd March 2023, changing from the new 2 series Active Tourer 23i M Sport had it 10 months from new, so I’m now experienced with the new i8 system. Totally agree with you the Karma Kardon system is excellent.

Thank you for good real review

Great

Like your introduction video on the ix1, very good informational review. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Very nice and detailed review.. really helps people who are considering to buy this model..

Congratulations on the first full review of the iX1 as far as I know. I also took delivery of an iX1 almost 2 months ago in France and I agree with most of your observations, eg the steering, I would go one step further and say it’s more Merc than BMW but the upside is it’s more relaxing as you said. I hope they can improve the feel with a software update, do you think that is possible ? It’s put together well but I'm not a fan of some of the finish, the rear net above the seats (made in China in big print) looks like an after-market item from Ali Express and the parcel shelf is the most flimsy since my old Hyundai i10. Your car is fully equipped so you will have been stung for some of the items that should be standard on an SUV like the roofrails at €310, €400 to activate the heated seats & €800+for Driving Assist. They’re built in at production, we paid €2300 extra to have the opportunity to pay yet more 😢& finally enjoy them. I can’t see this idea catching on BMW so don’t be so mean ! It’s a very good car 😊and it could easily be one of BMW's greatest.

Well balanced review

This is a great video and well produced. Loved how you detailed you explained each feature. In terms of driving dynamics, you mentioned that this car drives better than other EVs that you have tried, which ones?

Great video, thanks ! Question : Does the navigation in Apple CarPlay (maps or Waze) show on the heads-up display ?

Hälsningar från Slovenien, tack för de underbara bidragen, jag undrar när BMW ska byta till det nya operativsystemet 9, något sa att från 15.03 2023 och framåt, om du vet något om det, och om BMW också funderar på att sänka priset av fordonet, så som TESL. Min iX1 kommer i juni🙂 l.p.

I like this car and was hoping they would bring it to Canada but it will not be available in North America. I will be switching brands after 7 BMW’s as they do not have a small suv in ev yet. I have enjoyed all the cars I have had from them.

Thanks for good review. I did a test drive yesterday with a demo car from the local dealer Fully Charged Plus MSport. First impression is good. But I could not find a button to adjust distance to the car in front when using adaptiv cruise. Also no function to reset trip teller. Is it hidden in the menus?

Really beautiful car

Great detailed video with some nice honest views on your experience of the car. I’d like to know more about the driver assistance professional and in particular your experience of using the active cruise control. Can’t seem to find much online so a demo would be wonderful- particularly how it works when traffic stops etc.

Wanted to give an update about the consumption Without Aircon heating , which has great impact on the battery, the consumption is really good. In normal city speed, it is between 14 to 17 kW/100 km. So I would expect to get more than WLTP range in the summer. These figures are not including aggresive accelerations. With heating turned on, I would see huge increase in the consumption, some where between 20 to 26 kW/100 km.

Hi, thanks for this very informative & good 'user report'! I'm still unsure about the maintenance of the frozen paint but what you said about just performing regular wash-routine made me think more positive about it :) Just a related questions: do you ever go to a automatic car-wash with this car? Do you notice light swirl-marks of less than on a regular paint?

Great video, very informative, what other ev's have you owned as that would provide good context when you say you like the BMW the best

my 72 reg (nov 2022)m sport X1 just been in the dealer for the fifth time with camera issues, both lane departure and Collison yellow lights come on mainly when bright sunshine is on the screen, BMW dealer had another vehicle the same, BMW aware and a software update is due July, once the lights came on and pulled us into the oncoming lane which was frightening, have loads of evidence. Dare not let my wife drive the vehicle, going to use my van till July

Thank you for the very informative video. Any comments about wind noise in the interior from the panoramic sunroof? Is the built quality good enough in this part?

Hi! I have one more question for you. Are the glasses single-layered or double-layered? Thanks for the answer!

I have ordered one of these (as a stock car) and should have it delivered in the next few weeks. I have the M Sport version - do the interior lights (ambient lighting) come as standard?

Hello, how did you fix the tow bar issue? I can not find video you mentioned.

I am in the process of ordering a BMW x1, and the things you said regarding the seat, would you recommend the standard seats instead of sport ones?

Great video! I am thinking about ordering an iX1 too. Do you mind sharing your config URL, please? You can produce the URL on BMW’s ordering page.

How do you feel about Aircon heating of the car's effect on the consumption? I see it has a considerable impact on the battery. It can easily adds 20% more consumption, expecially in the first 10 minutes of the trip.

Hi, your winter mats in rubber, are they original from BMW or what? On every previously car I had, I used Swedish brand "rensi" and and carpet/floor in the car were as new. I ordered my iX1 in January, delivery April or May 🇩🇰.

Just taken delivery of my ix1 and having problems with the remote services via the My BMW app (Apple). I cannot lock / unlock or take any pictures remotely - eventually get a failed message. Everything else via the app works. I have checked the Data Privacy settings - all ok. Any ideas ?

Hi! Video - superb! I have a question regarding the front grill sensor, maybe you know the answer. Is the sensor in the front grill heated? If you drive in cold and snow, does it freeze and start giving errors? Thanks in advance for the answer!

A really informative video about the iX1! I’ve enjoyed watching this series as it’s factual and unbiased. A quick question about the Boost paddle function - what about iX1’s without the paddle? How do they get their full 313bhp?

Once again thank you for such an informative video. These 20-inch rims are available only with summer tires here in Poland. What winter tires (brand and model) do you use?

Hello @swede365, have you driven/owned a tesla? How does it compare to the IX1 in terms of confort?

Can anyone tell me if the ix1 driver assistant professional allows the car to self drive and steer in Norway? I see this function works below 60kph in other countries in slow traffic?

Hey mate....what's with all the random red flashing lights in the dashboard?

Thanks for another great video both in terms of content and structure, but also in terms of how it has been embellished with various digital enhancements and pointers during the presentation. Just one thing. I was surprised when at the end of the "Handling and Performance" section you only gave it a 4 out of 5, when you throughout that particular section were in constant praise of it. I was expecting a 5 out of 5. I suppose what makes it difficult when making these reviews is whether to compare the car "relatively" with the likes of e.g. AUDI Q4, Mercedes GLE etc. or "absolutely" with EVs like the iX, Jaguar iPace etc. In this case, as regards the "Handling and Perfrmance" section I found it a mixture of the two. It is afterall a cheapish (in BMW terms) entry-level family car, and I personally find it up at "the top of the pile". However, all in all it was a really good and informative video. Thanks for that.

When you have that 250km-300km range, were you referring to from 80% to zero? Thanks from Toronto!

How about road noises level?

Per, where did you get the boot liner from? Is it an official BMW product?

I agree with the comments.. of exterior.. BMWs best looking SUV. IX3 does not make sense and the IX makes me puke.. and IX2 is just weird..

I find car charging very good. I think you judged it too harshly. The battery only has 64 kWh, so it can't charge noticeably faster. The battery heating works very well, in sub-zero temperatures it reaches over 130 kW, which is important for a very long time over 120 kW. Of course, the battery could be bigger, but the car would also have to be bigger. It's just a compact SUV. Personally, I think that when it comes to the battery and its charging, it is very good here. Plus you have 22kW AC which is a great deal. He uses it often.

Is the lumbar & massage worth it ?

Yes the cars from BMW are expensive, 22kW AC charging costs extra and the battery has 64.7kWh only. But that is no a surprise and well known. The car is just not a Polestar 2/Genessis GV60. To whom these things are important, should keep their hands off the iX1. I find the 22kW AC charger a super investment, since I practically always charge at home or at the workplace, DC charging rarely occurs and then only for 15-25 minutes. Therefore, yes, faster DC charging and a larger battery would be nice but is not crucial for many of us.

Can you tell me in comparison with tesla model Y? What is better?

I had a test drive of this yesterday. Beautiful car for the package but for AU$101,000 it's a hard sell. A bit of an unfair comparison I know, but I'm coming from a deisel XC90 so used to much more space and little touches. But I have to say that space was really the only major downside. This car doesn't feel like an entry level vehicle with the materials and design. But damn electric cars are just too much brand new at the moment. Maybe I'll wait a year and buy it used.

Can you tell me what other EVs you compare this car to?

the lights flashing on the dash in opening give me anxiety

Hello, thank you for your excellent videos! 😍 You mentioned that you have all of the available options. I'm wondering if you know the option ordering code or BMW part number for this optional aluminum or steel dead pedal plate in this 2023 BMW X1 picture? (pointed by the green arrow on the left) Thank you! 😀kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e-ConrWhq6fdZIk.html

Who cares about the backseat.

Many thanks for the informative review and fair assessment. Best wishes.
