Can't wait to get this car, there's nothing that I don't like. Things that I like the most; 1. HUDisplay 2. Panoramic 3. Auto tail gate 4. MORE leg room at the back and the option to slide to make more room for luggage 5. Centre screen looks nicer than X3

Our family just signed for one today. MY GOD this thing is good (2016 DEFINITE improvement over the 2015). We weren't even gonna look at BMW when we were car shopping between the lexus NX200t , audi q3, and mercedes gla because the only reviews online were of the 2015 x1. This thing absolutely blows the other 3 out of the water. It combines the comfort of the nx, high quality interior feel of the q3, and well... mercedes gla 250 was garbage so im glad the x1 doesnt take anything from that. Surprisingly little turbo lag makes this feel like its got a much bigger engine. 10 out of 10! Maybe extra half a point for the kicking thing that opens the trunk.

+Boris Terekidi (Xi Digital) I hear you. The new one is such a huge improvement, it's pretty unfair to people who bought the previous one. I will say though, that when the 2014 was *new,* I thought they looked really cool, and were *very* practical cars. So it's still great car! But I would be a bit pissed off, too.

Resell and vaule for money are also important. It might be around 10k cheaper than X3 or X5 but how will it hold vaule after 5 years with 70k miles on the clock. X1 does look appealing as small SUV family car. Do you really have to own G wagon or X5? Or is it just about showing off how deep is your wallet and self esteem treatment?

It'll probably hold its value really well. I Agree about not really needing a larger car. Most people will do fine with the X1.

@Kev500278 жыл бұрын
The X1 can't tow a boat, you can't get a quick version, cargo room is much less than the X5, and although the X1 interior is nice, with a few options the X5 is simply stunning. There's also the fact that the X1 is FWD based, so it's not a true BMW in that sense, more of a fancy MINI. That's not necessarily a bad thing but it's worth noting.
@jimmy.christian8 жыл бұрын
+Kev50027 the price different also stunning, if u want to tow a boat get proper 4x4, x1 more like a city car imo but compare last version this one way more better looking and equipped

Not so sure if to believe this review, most recent ones say that the previous X1 version is a better vehicle, this one only looks better. Not my opinion but what the other reviews say. Previous version: Rear wheel drive or all wheel drive better handling intelligent gearshift 50-50 weight distribution base on 3 series Actual version: Front wheel drive or all wheel drive not as fun handling dated gearshift (automatic retro type) not 50-50 weight distribution based on a mini countryman

Hey MrTheSetter. Yes I think it would be easy to drive, there are lots of safety systems like auto braking if she's not paying attention, and it'll make her friends think she's cool. If you can afford it, go for it. I personally would give my child a smaller car to start with if its their first time, but cars are generally bigger in America anyway so maybe this is what you consider small.
