Autogefuhl is king of timestamps. There's no other youtube chanel that uses so many of them in a single video.I would prefer less, it's hard to navigate with so many because of how short many of them are. One for intro, one of interior, one for exterior and one for driving experience.
@@Kaisersozze that's a valid point, it's a fine line for sure. i guess it's safer to lean towards too many timestamps rather than too little? I'm sure Thomas has some thoughts on this haha
Fantastic yet again Thomas and the team. Watching the channel for 7/8 years and loved your videos. Your brilliant English has also prompted me to start learning German so any tips are welcome, Danke !!!!
I still love the big rotary temperature controls on my E82 135i. So clicky and satisfying to use. Losing the idrive control and manual temperature controls seems like such a step backward and makes me want to hang onto my current X1 a while longer. Another great review @Thomas!
Carwow's review of new Mercedes C63 the other day where Mercedes' PR manager.. Matt really missed an opportunity to bring the issue straight to their face and see their argumentation in unedited video. Anyways, really bad direction of whole industry as such, with except of Mazda who openly opposes the trend. Excellent work Thomas!

I'm ordering one an X1 based on this review. Out the door just over $50k with the M sport mode and performance tires. I like that the X1 does not feel top heavy like most SUVs, so the driving dynamics are much more like a car. Modern with good gas mileage, with decent acceleration (under 6 sec 0 to 60), and mildly luxurious interior. And the length makes it very easy to park in the city.
I've just ordered an iX1 M Sport from Pelras Toulouse having already seen the car at Goodwood FoS. It was the most difficult car ever to spec e.g to have the induction phone charging I had to buy the Premium pack at €2100 and I must then pay another €800 for active cruise or €350 for heated seats after I have taken delivery. I really think BMW should re-think this strategy..it's too greedy. Nevertheless, I can't wait to get my new car next March.
Just ordered an X1 Sport here in the UK and I feel your frustration! I wanted the anti-dazzle internal and extenral mirrors, but to get that I would have to buy a £1,600 package with mostly features that I do not need or want. I also wanted the heated steeering wheel and can only get that through a package too (plus a later subscription fee too!) and yet, for example, I could specify heated seats as a single option. Crazy! Still, great car and can't wait to get behind the wheel!
22:44 You wouldn't need that feature in Kenya. At the traffic lights when it is time to go and you are caught napping, the cars behind you will quickly remind you!
Being a former new BMW owner I love the new X1...I just struggle to recognize it as a BMW and feel the passion when it lacks digitalization of the classic BMW gauges cluster (classic clocks)... As a teenager I had wet dreams of the mechanical clocks and orange night light... The Nintendo graphics alienate me away
Hi, really love you videos. Very clear, unbiased and informative. Any chance you could do a comparison between the new BMW X1 and the Volvo XC40, including analysis of power trains etc??? Would be great if you could. Thanks.
Another great review. I feel like a fan of Thomas. Very detailed and informative test drive in good English. ID8 needs more learning to do the setting but looks really modern. BMW iX1 is worth waiting . There are low tax and super low energy price in Taiwan.
The front looks quite strange again - it's like a cheerful kid in class that is trying too hard not to show it is actually angry. The taillights are too low imo as well. The air vents look unharmonic - the one in the center and the ones in front of the passenger aren't in the same height but are too closely placed and just look out of place. Otherwise Thomas - great review, as always on point and very informative.
The touchscreen climate controls on the new X1 are a deal-breaker. I would never buy a car that didn’t enable me to easily control the aircon while driving. It’s too distracting and dangerous to use a screen. Physical knobs and buttons are so much better and safer. PS: Thanks for the great review Thomas!
@@fvandewinckel So you are saying denying options is a good thing. You like it doesn't mean everyone else should like it. I also think it's a deal breaker as well.
Although I agree the physical buttons or knobs are easier and less distracting, I prefer the button-less approach of the new models because of the nodern design language. I always use auto climate so I don't need to manual control the climate that often. Also, I hope the voice command does the job for these kinds of stuff. My current car has all the climate controls as physical buttons, but if I want to change some settings, I still need to have a quick look . So having buttons doesn't necessarily remove the necessity of taking your eyes from the road. But it is totally subjective if this is a deal breaker for you and I won't argue that
Fantastic review! I love that you do go through all the driving options as it is always interesting to understand what the car can do as you say so you can choose the driving configuration that suits your driving style best 😊 Its also an interesting decision if this vs the 2 Active Tourer - I bet most people will just look at the X1 but the Active Tourer could be the hidden gem of the BMW model range!
@@rimmerblues1586 I think the new AT looks amazing. No idea how they came up with that design but it totally transforms what people expect from a car aimed at that market segment . I think they’ve done a great job with it 👍
How's the shoulder room? I have broad shoulders and in the original X1/1 Series, the shoulder room was uncomfortably tight; I found the B pillar very intrusive. Is that resolved here?
Love this review as always Thomas! I'm really excited for the new X1. That's the first time I've ever said that! I have a 2022 M4 coupe, but this would be such a great daily driver, for getting groceries, city, small road trips. These 19" rims are the way to go, too. Best balance between sidewall and rim size. I don't think I would go with the 20" ones just because the purpose of this car is able to handle some rougher roads, I don't want to worry about low profile tires on my crossover.
I am going to order the BMW X1 xDrive25e Sport next week with standard 17 inch wheels as i live rural and many of the roads are rough here.Hope i have made the right decision.
Great review, as always! It is the first detailed review I could find online for this car. What gearbox did the 23i had? I see in the BMW configurator there are 2 options for the transmission: DCT (probably 7speed) or "automatic" (I guess the 8speed ZF gearbox). 300euros more for de 8speed auto. Please give more details on differences between the 2 gearboxes (driving feeling, consumption and reaction to kickdown), in your future reviews for this car.
IX1 is on preorder. What I didn't like about this car was the lack of wheel options in the order. The Msport starts with 18inch in my country. I don't like the style of 19 inch and 20inch is not comfy and also expensive to upgrade. The second complain is the range of the car. I think it could have been a bit better. 438 WLTP could have been 50km more with slightly bigger battery.
exactly! And the same goes for the price of gasoline, by the way. And you have similar wages, so really don't know why you guys are complaining over there...
I dare the CarPlay problem is more caused by your iPhone - I could replicate the exact same issue in my G21 as long as I used my iPhone X. Since I own a recent iPhone it did not appear again…
Nice review! I wish you could film the cars from the outside a bit more next time please. Meaning, without too much zoom, just from various different sides and more in the city (for example when you are parking it between the two cars, which will show how it looks compared with its size to other cars, or how easy is it turning in tight corners/streets), just to simulate a bit how it looks in the real world instead of watching primarily you in the interior. I hope you will do a review of the hybrid version as well soon?
Really nice review, thanks. What do you thing about car’s performance when is being driving on snowy conditions? Do you thing that awd works in ev and phev versions?
Another Excellent and thorough test carried out in a second language, Well Done Thomas. Will you be testing the PHEV models of the X1 when available. I have range anxiety as do some long trips into Europe as well as many short ones and I believe the predicted range of Electric driving will be north of 50 miles. For me this sounds a good balance but interested in your view and analysis
👏🏽👏🏽As it should’ve been from the get-go. ABOUT TIME!!! Glad to see EVs can finally blend in with the regular combustion variants without being blatantly obvious.
1. Thomas, are you sure you have enough legroom in the front? When driving your knees looked high/close to the dashboard. 2. Is there a PHEV for the X1? Comparable to the upcoming Tonale PHEV?
What's weird about X1s is that they look way bigger than they are. Those are not much taller than 3 series , doubt they are longer or wider, ground clearance is very car like too, the only reason it exist is because ppl judge books by the cover , believe " suv " is by default a safer and a higher end product than a car.
Finally some really thight and good looking stearing wheels from BMW. Best I've seen in a long time. Shame they've removed the iDrive controller as well as temperature and volume knob tho. Great review!
In my country, the Kia EV6 GT-line long range AWD, XC40 P8, and iX1 are the same price. I’ve ordered the iX1. Hopefully the smaller battery will still serve well for the range.
They've always made some affordable vehicles (smaller in size). This never had a negative effect on sales of the other models. I welcome less snobbism, or better yet, no snobbism any day.
huge miss on the underfloor storage. the 1st gen has a huge underfloor storage and you can fit a carry on 22" luggage plus a duffle bag in that underfloor compartment
Great helpful review! If BMW will start making their steering more soft and light like MB, Volvo...then, it's not BMW anymore:( BMW was unique manufacturer letting driver and the car be like one whole connected ultimate driving machine. Good to know that no more actual buttons for driving modes, climate controls.. touch screen will distract from driving to change every single settings.
Fantastic review, but you didn't touch on one thing that may allay the worries people have about there being no I-drive wheel, which is the voice control option. I took an X1 for a test drive the other day and tested this function. I did two tests, speaking in my normal voice (with has a slight Yorkshire accent) at normal volume and intonation. First test: "Play radio 2" and sure enough, 'Radio 2' was selected for me. Second test: "Raise the temperature" - response from Idrive was "what would you like me to set the driver side temperature to?" "22" I responded and in less than a second, '22' appeared on the screen. I presently drive an Active Tourer (2019) and the voice control in that is disappointing. I would say BMW have definitely improved voice recognition ins version 8 Idrive software, as the X1 I test drove responded to both my requests without having been 'trained' to recognise my voice, so it would seem to work as well as, say, Alexa.
I really think this is the way to go. Bmw really made a good decision. I think the i am a ev look is just a trend and i don’t like it. To me evs are not really the i am sustainable so i am the future thing. But really the x1 and ix1 really are good looking cars and how bmw handelt it is really good. This is the car that are the engines you pick what you want the car is the same
Ah, the old style door handles where you pull up, instead of door handles that you pull out. Personally, I think the pull out handles are easier to use when one has their hands full, but it's not a big deal.
did you find that the instrument cluster screen is oddly very small compared to the infotainment screen? no option to get it in a larger size either at the moment, very strange decision
Love the video, I just placed my order in Norway for my IX1 M Sport in frozen grey metallic all options, but with the 17inch winter wheels and 18inch summer, just for added comfort and the fact big wheels are not great for snow in Norway in the winter. I looked at the Tesla model Y but on close inspection at the bottom of the doors inside there was missed paint and the primer was showing through, also I am not a fan of an iPad looking display just slapped on the dash board. I have an I3 at the moment a 2014 model with only 90km in winter when fully charged so this will be a huge upgrade for me. Would love if you got a video of the IX1 factory and went through the production process, I hear it's one of the most advanced in the world. Can you get information about the Idrive 9 ? I hear X1 will get it later in the year my car is due September so I hope I get the new upgrade.
Please bring back the knobs! Mercy car manufacturers. Not even a volume knob!!! Thank you Thomas for the brilliant, honest and sober review. OS8 stand for Ooh Shitty 8.
In my opinion it is not right that the armrest opens just from drivers side, when you are traveling you could not ask codriver to take out anything from the area under armrest.
