Happy Friday everyone! Hope you all had a great week! We've been on the road since Monday and you should expect to see our reviews from filming on the road post on 9/6! Thanks for watching as always and have a wonderful Labor Day holiday weekend :)
BMW SUVs/cars have a strange/dangerous transmission lag when accelerating abruptly! I had this issue/safety concern with several X3s & 3 series cars! It’s why I left the brand for MB. I still love BMWs though, lol. Nice review mate. Cheers
i actually liked the older funkier looking X1, i don't know why, but they were sporty to drive. this ain't bad, but now it looks like every other sub compact crossover on the road.
Strongly considering one of these or Lexus NX350 but for this price point and living in Texas the lack of ventilated seats is almost a deal breaker. Even my 2015 mustang had ventilated seats
The nx is a much worse car than the x1. Just for ventilated seats think about how much you have to sacrifice just for cooled seats on the nx Spoiler Alert: you sacrifice everything…😂 Imo you’re far better off getting a Mazda cx5 signature or cx50 turbo premium both of which have cooled seats
This is the best vehicle BMW makes. The grill design and aesthetic is one of the only BMWs that get it right. The interior is far higher quality than it has any right to be (a leatherette stitched dash, big beautiful screen). Fantastic vehicle for what it is, the best current BMW (even if it’s a Mini lol)
The m35i version is on the bmw build page now. Looks so tempting but don’t think I can afford it. Apparently it also adds a limited slip diff of some sort and drops the car by maybe 0.5”.
Total fan of your channel, Sofyan! I’ve been a subscriber for years. I’m cross shopping the 2025 BMW X1 and the Lexus NX350 coming from a 2018 Alfa Romeo Stelvio that I’ve had for 5 years. Three totally different SUV’s, but looking for something more reliable and with better resell. Would you do a comparison test, or which do you prefer?
I don't understand the fascination with 0-60 times. I'd guess that buyers of this car or most any car you test, NEVER brake torque and smash the throttle. Of more use would be 30-70 or something like that for real world driving, passing a slow car on the highway, etc.
0-60 times are extremely important, especially with millions of illegal immigrants flooding into our country. I’ve been in several high speed/road rage incidents with illegals/Mexican gangs and was able to escape thanks to my fast car.
@@minipandora22I mean… you’re not wrong about swaths of illegals coming in…. But I don’t think that really proves how and why 0-60 times are important 🤣
@@doyoulikecrystalgel oh , I forgot to mention that I’ve been in over 5 high-speed car chases with (MS-13) illegals in the last 2 years. 🤷🏻♂️ In Yuma AZ we have no border wall 🧱
I believe they are doing 0-60 just to display some sort of benchmark or comparison so they can talk about what other cars do as well. It’s just a standard. Silly? Yes. But I’m glad they show us what these vehicles are capable of.
How are you gonna have a premium package with a HUD, eucalyptus wood trim, HID headlights, sport seats, wireless phone charger and full screen displays but no heated seats? That’s a disgrace, they should make them standard on the base for the price.
Hey, how about a video on the X1 35Mi now on dealers’ lots? In particular, how’s the new suspension and steering. And is turbo lag and stop/start better than plain X1? And some 35Mi have a compact spare, and some don’t. What’s up with that?
Before you buy this vehicle, let me point out the error BMW made in its design. On the front grill area where the radiator is located and slightly visible. Designers should have considered to put a mesh grill cover. Just recently purchased the M35i version, in less than 3 weeks of driving on the freeway to go to work. A rock hit the radiator, took it to BMW for service and unfortunately it is not covered on their warranty. Hefty service price to pay 😏
Why ditching lightening fast & bulletproof ZF8? I have not seen better transmission than ZF8 except for the PDK which is only in the expensive Porsches.
Great review! While the design looks nice, the 7 speed DCT and lack of paddle shifters puzzles me. For about $51,000 I’d rather buy a fully loaded MINI JCW Countryman w/ the Aisin 8 speed.
I think it's ridiculous that the basic things like remote start and cooled seats aren't standard in vehicles like this. For a luxury vehicle it should include things like remote start and cooled seats as standard equipment and not a $500 option. I'd rather not have the wood and have remote start and cooled seats standard. These are features that are useful features and not appearance features. Also interesting how they don't have a hybrid version to compete with vehicles like the Alfa Romeo Tonale.
An excellent review- a lot of detail. I drive an X-line with 18” tires, premium and professional packages, heated sport seats with lumbar support, only $45K. So choose your options carefully. Gas mileage 36 mpg at 75mph, 22mpg in suburban driving. Roomy (I’m 6’4”), nimble, quick, super on highway. Defects? Lag/lurch from a stop, and in tight spaces that is alarming. AWD in snow is a joke, partly because the lag/lurch in slow maneuvers like on a driveway makes the wheels spin and the car skates. And on a washboard it feels like a minor earthquake. Overall a winner.
wow, Sofyan has too many reviews to post... the infotainment screen shows it's a Wed 28th (which means he did the actual review on June 28th) but just released it after editing on September 1st.
How do you remember all of those stats without a queue card????? Another great review. BTW all small SUVs should come with emergency 3rd row to at least fit kids.
The new and used X1 series are sold out in Ohio, Virginia, Maryland due to 46K to 50K price. BMW dealerships have plenty of 100K cars on the lot. Keeping my pay for 2016 X1 with rotiform wheels 😃.
Compare with Lexus NX 350 Hybrid? Would love to test drive both. Heated seats and ACC optional?! Too much a la carte. Goes with a fancy restaurant. Thanks for all the details.
The more videos I watch and the more vehicles I build on the various manufacturers' websites, the more I come to love my '24 Outback Wilderness. You simply cannot get its combination of capability and creature comforts from Subaru's competitors for anywhere near Subaru's MSRP. So many of the standard features of the OBW were listed as options on the BMW X1, and very expensive options at that.
Doesn't dual clutch have a reputation for unreliable and costly to repair? If yes, then it would be a bad choice for an entry model that intended to lure new customers to the brand.
I bought this car and regret it. It is boxy and bulky. I owned the previous version (2018) and is was so much nicer. They removed the center dial which was a major mistake. It is a gas guzzler. Lastly, it hesitates and doesn't have the creep needed when speeding up at low speeds....super dangerous.
Unfortunately dodge are known as “bum cars” along with Jeep, Chrysler etc. generally only the poor and uneducated buy those brands. They’re pretty much a joke here in the states
That’s just a gross option. Why even be here on a BMW page? That’s the white trash option and this is the champagne and caviar version. The word Dodge makes me vomit in my mouth. You are not a car guy if you are even thinking about a Stellantis product. Yikes
Rented this on Turo in Canada. It’s a very nice roomy small suv that fit 5 passengers. I had in my possession for 5 days and the front seats look nice but they’re garbage! Soo uncomfortable. I was 230lbs at the time and my brother in law 175lbs and both of us were very uncomfortable
