you can get one for less than 40k. but not with so many options and with much less power.

BMW, the manufacturer for idiots that pay for options already built in but don’t get activated unless you pay a monthly subscription. Suckers

​@Andrei-kh6kr And why to buy an X1 if there is 0 extra? Just to say I drive bmw? No thanks! I buy a Hyundai or a Kia with double extras! BMW Mercedes Audi have lost their integrity! They promote a car FROM 35k and at the end you have to pay double the amount if you want to buy an actual new and nice car!

I'd probably spec it a bit cheaper, but the CX-60 argument keeps popping up on my Polish channel. Have you driven the CX-60 already? I understand how it may be appealing to some, but I'd take the Bimmer any day of the week.

@@MarekDrivesENG In my local market customer CX-60 will arrive in Q2 - at the moment they're taking pre-orders only I believe. The base engine available here for the X1 is the sDrive18i which makes a lot more sense price wise, as the xDrive20i pretty much lines up directly with the inline 6 CX-60 in AWD form. I must admit that there is a certain allure to having an I6, but then again it's an SUV, so does it even matter?

Now get this! I'm writing the script for my GLC review, and it seems a comparably specced CX-60 is maybe 3-4 thousand euro cheaper, than the Mercedes. OK, Mazda has the 6-cylinder engine, but IMO it has no real impact on performance. Instead Mazda falls into a higher tax bracket in some markets, because of the larger displacement.

My pleasure!

Ahh, there's a menu option where you can turn the indicator blink off while still using the indicator for blind spot and lane drift detection. And customers get details on how to use it along with the "setting the cruise control to drive more than 20cm off the back of the car in front" and " motorway lanes -what, why and how"

Glad you like it! My editor just bought a pack of car infographics, and I also think they add production value.

Fingers crossed!

Congratulations,hope you enjoy it 👍

how r u liking it?

They didn't bother to mirror the console? Cheap bastards!

Hi Ranko, I have the same x1 18d x drive face-lift , and BMW Serbia gave me new model for one day to test it. It was Sdrive 18d, but it was so good. I thought my car was perfect, but the new one is improved. Sound isolation, gearbox, fells faster, you do not feel it is diesel in cabin, steering is lighter, just feels better in every aspect. Only missing 8 gear on high way after 150km/h. Test is and you will probably think the same.

@@urosvranic4930 I have no doubt there are some improvements, I just feel it's not all in direction I would like to see. Looks like most of the change's gone towards design but the real feel is more like a poor man's BMW. Configurationwise, 18d is no longer available as xdrive which is a shame considering a vast torque this engine offers, for that you have to go to 20d which, of course, is much more expensive. Meanwhile, I found out the 150hp in my 18d is more than plenty but loved the inclusion of xdrive for safety and better traction. Also, there are split opinions to say the least about the new DCT, why was this switch necessary when the old converter 8-speed was excellent? This seems to me like a step back, or a cost-cutting measure. Now the quality gap between X1 and X3 is in my eyes much wider and pretty obvious, and I feel even a lower spec X3 would be a better way to go next, even though I didn't choose it last time for size reasons

@@rankod just drive one then we will all listen to you...

1. What are those? 2. If you have dandruff, I'd change the shampoo you are using and/or consult a dermatologist.

BMW has several driving models - Eco, Comfort, Sport, and Sport Plus. I suppose Sport Plus is a compliance exercise - i.e. it allows BMW to advertise performance, which will rarely be accessed, hence it keeps the regulators happy, and clients excited. The Boost function is independent of drive modes, and it probably takes you into Sport Mode settings. Sport Plus may (I'm sorry, but I don't remember what it does on every BMW model) limit traction control, so that has to be activated deliberately by the driver, rather than by accident, when the paddle is pulled.

@@MarekDrivesENG got it, thank you!

I'd say the X one is better.

As this is a mild hybrid, someone's probably adding the electric motor power output to the petrol engine power. I have a spec sheet for this particular test car from BMW, and it says 197 hp. On its website in Poland, and in Germany BMW doesn't state the power output for this model. Data sheet from the press website just states 197 hp for the diesel engine, and 19 hp for the electric motor.

Depends on what you are looking for.

6:15 To jest wygodny crossover i nic więcej nie ma o nim do powiedzenia.

@@MarekDrivesENG dziękuję za odpowiedź. Nie czuje sie usatysfakcjonowany. Życze powodzenia z kanałem, juz bezemnie.

Yes, but it's not metallic AFAIK

28i is no longer available in Europe. Though it sounds like a detuned version of our 30i 🤣 I like my tires thick. Much more comfortable.

@@MarekDrivesENG I think the 2.8i is the 2.3i with a little more hp.... so it's an uptuned 2.3i. LOL. As for liking things "thick" I'm not touching that with a 10 foot pole.... 🤣

I wish it was 2.8 and 2.3 ;) They are all 2-liter now. 3 liters starts with 40i

Standard suspension. As I said, it's better than the 2AT (both on 18" rims and winter tires). Probably a bit more suspension travel. Depends what you compare it to.

They are very similar in size. Maybe 1-2 cm difference, but no clear winner. One is longer, the other one is wider, etc.

@@MarekDrivesENGAgain, that's what she said. XD

It's smooth, but there's no button to activate it. Apparently the way to go around it is to use Individual mode, where you set everything according to your liking, except the engine, which must be in sport. That prevents the s&s shutting down the engine.

@@MarekDrivesENG Thank you. It looks like soon we will have no option to skip s&s

Probably coding :/

@@MarekDrivesENG No coding for U11 X1 so far. I have X1 ordered and coming in the following weeks, and its a bit sad to find out that sport individual mode is the only way to disable s&s.

I believe option packages are done by each country, so the UK staff at BMW UK decide options for UK while the Aussie staff at BMW Australia make options for Australia. That's why my Australian BMW iX1 has almost all the options as "standard" while people in other countries are paying to option lumbar, M Sports, panoramic roof and 22kW chargers.

They made you feel more premium🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@prosserd Yes its true - it goes by markets. But here in Europe we are the dumbest buyers. Example on BMW 7 series we own. "Heating package" right? -Includes heated seats, BUT heated steering wheel is separate extra option LOL. To have them ventilated is yet another separate premium option. In US its one option and it includes everything I listed for the same price as heated seats only here in Europe.

There's nothing strange about it. The price overlap is designed to get the buyer to jump into the higher segment, and hopefully spend even more money.

@@MarekDrivesENG, Of course, ain't right... Is like they advertise a brand new TV with all bells and whistles and give you a price of 300$, but when u go to buy it you realize that this price is with no 4k no remote control no HDMI etc... It's a huge issue with today's car industry! They show you a vehicle and they sell you "another" one! If they want to be honest they can advertise the minimum and the maximum price...from-to... And not to mention the prices that are almost double as it was a few years ago...And all that at the temple of Ukrainian war and lack of materials... bs!!!
