Be aware if you're planning on buying this model. There is a huge design fail, those 2 cutouts under the front headlights leave the radiators exposed. Which makes it easy for it to get punctured because those holes are larger than they seem. A rock hit mine while driving and I've had it for maybe 2 weeks. They should've really added mesh grill to them. The cherry on top is that warranty won't cover it 🙃
This is a very common BMW design! My 335I F30 has oil coolers in that area, my X5 G05 also has oil coolers and radiators in that area. I have never had an issue with rocks and the radiator/coolers are just as exposed. I mean the regular radiator goes pretty low on most cars and there have never been an issue. Maybe you live in a crappy area and got unlucky and a large rock broke your cooler.
what do you think about comparing this with the new GLC 300 4matic ? Similar Price point. Apart from the sportiness this offers, the GLC also has a mild hybrid system and a decent power behind the wheels with a ton of comfort options and a bigger vehicle overall. While the 2025 X3 will take quite sometime to arrive in Australia, these 2 seem to be the only options.
So for an additional $10K-$15K over a comparable regular X1, whaddaya get? Quad tailpipes, piped in sound, a second faster, and stronger brakes. Whaddaya lose? Well, poorer gas mileage, no spare, bouncier ride. And what didn’t change? Still have lag and jerk from a stop. Seats are not better than sport seat option in X1.
Just depends on what you want. This has a more performance oriented drive. Some people like myself like that. It ads excitement to a small crossover. I drive an Audi R8, so to me, this X1 M35 would be a fun crossover to give me excitement. The standard X1 is great for those who just want a normal crossover. Buy what works for you
Yes, buy what you want. Personally, I find my $45K regular X1 with 18” wheels and all the trimmings like lumbar support, heated seats, premium package, etc is roomy, nimble, quick, and comfortable. Don’t like lag and jerk from a stop, and a washboard feels like a minor earthquake. The ride in the M35i is not better, maybe worse.
Hi I just wanted to say happy new year my favorite bros fourr speed I can't wait to see what you have in store for us next year But I have a request please give us the latest updates about the next BMW M4 COMPETION please I will appreciate it thanks again for your efforts enjoy your new year
I wanna feel this dct and tune it because for some rzn this seems like a suv that is very fun and the dct is rare nowadays for bmw. U can get this transmission except this car now I believe!
Excellent review, but if I may respectfully give you some constructive criticism. Please don't be so quick moving the camera while you are talking as it can induce dizziness and nausea in the viewer (others agree). Otherwise very well done.
@@BrosFOURRSpeedyes there is. There's even two currently at the Chicago auto show, X2 M35i. The redesigned 2024 X2 is just now making it's way to dealerships.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed My mistake I though it was a 8 speed ZF. BMW doesn't even have dual clutch even in their full fledge M cars, so it's a bit surprising to see a dual clutch in a budget entry level X1.
@@xFlaredA ZF8HP would not fit in this category. Also the ZF8HP (Longitudinal) is far better than a dual clutch. It far reliable, far easier to maintain and a lot smoother. Now a DCT makes sense in this platform, as there are not great options for a transverse set up.
X1 literally has the same leg and headroom #s as a X3. Cargo (less) and hood (longer for V6) are what's different besides the 8spd. M35i stays on both X1 and X2. Nothing going away btw.
@@Slappysan I have built In stabilization with the camera and stabilization with editing, please time stamp where you are talking about? I’ve been filming for 12 years, I’ve learned over the years…
