dude, your X1 video is the one of the best X1 videos on UA-cam. I can say this with confidence because I have watched and saved close to 90 X1 videos that have been posted to UA-cam since November. I don't have have a BMW dealer near me, so I had to rely on these videos to make a decision. I have the X1 on order. Out of those 90 X1 videos, very few have real useful information. Most are just rehashing specs and other nonsense. For example, I have been trying real hard to find out the dimensions of the space under the trunk. I want to know what is the biggest spare tire that I could put in there.(not the donut little spare that BMW USA provides in our X1) NOBODY else has ever bothered to measure it and put the info in their videos. Yours was the FIRST and ONLY one. THANK YOU SO MUCH! 👍👍👍👍👍
Agreed. I ordered in October myself it will he here apparently by end of April. Alot of hate for all touchscreen controls but I'm super into modern sleek interiors. It's what sold me on this.
I am so confused. How do you control the climate, sound system, etc. without looking at the screen? Is this completely voice automated...i.e. turn the temp on driver's side to 70? I am old school and refuse to take my eyes off the road when driving. The lack of a dial and buttons concerns me.
Great review. Part of the reason for the depth of the floor is to give the electric variant (iX1) closer to regular ICE cars’ floor height instead of an excessively high one.
I love, love, love my BMWX1 with its twin turbo engine, fuel injected. It doesn’t have insane HP but it can fly and drives like it’s on a cloud. Mine is the 2015 model. I’m hoping in a few years to be able to buy a brand new one. Or close to it.
I really like the look of the X1 inside and out. No HVAC control knobs and buttons is bad but finding vehicles with buttons and knobs is getting harder sadly thanks Tesla. Flush door handles where the phone charger is etc.
Very informative and fun video. Does it come with spare tire? Notice you were measuring the space below the cargo mat, but didn't see the spare tire. Is the Canadian version different from the U.S.? Secondly, do the rear seats slide forward and backward? The Hong Kong version does, but can't seem to find a video for the U.S. version. Thanks for taking the time.
Just like my 2021 BMW X1 . Hit Sport mode and then click the shifter to the left and Rev to 2500+ RPM and let go of brake with no lag and get mid 5s, but I'm in no rush to upgrade to the 2023 because I like my 3.5" dual cannons exhaust tips compared to no pipes on the 23 and also no Ambient light in the back seats as that is my favorite part on my 2021 and also they made the Ambient half the size as compared to the 21.Though I do like the light that holds your phone. My car looks great at night with the green or purple ambient lighting in the whole car not just the front. I really wish they kept that on the new model then it would be perfect and also keep the 8 speed I have as it is a awesome unit. Great vid and glad you figured out how to launch the best without launch control lol.
I was really looking forward to you review but unfortunately didn’t get much out of it in terms of it drives. I’ve seen other reviewers say that there’s a delay in the start/stop due to dct. Was that your experience too while accelerating from a dead stop?
Disable Start/Stop. Absolutely useless and more harm to the engine plus you actually burn more gas on start up. Nobody is saving the environment by this feature. Also a safety issue if you need to smash the gas to avoid someone rear ending you at a stop light.
I just got my new X1 last weekend and can say there def is a delay due to the start/stop. I deactivate it before every drive and which eliminates the sluggish delay. Super fun to drive!
Always enjoy your reviews, especially because you not only do a great job, but you actually measure cargo space. 👍 I do have to add I kind of dig the rose colored shades. With the beard they give you a General Abbot look from the TV series Sweet tooth.
Very fun vid, well done. I understand most folks lease BMWs, for the most part. But and IF this new x1 can be reliable and not give the usual long term hiccups, then, BMW has a: "winner, winner free chicken dinner." The other thing is always wait for the second to third year of a new production run, less issues, for the most part.
Good review ..But bang for the buck from all of BMW sport utilities the X3 M40 is the best one. I have driven everything because my wife works for BMW and I just really enjoy driving her dealer car and I drive nothing but sports cars and that car drives like one .
Are the seats better than the previous version? That was the huge thing I hated about it. One sit and I walked right out. I don't care if it's the "entry level" car for bmw, it still needs to feel like a BMW! If these are better in feel and comfort, then I'll wait until one comes with at least 300hp.
wow... 0-60mph in 5.5? That's 0.1 second faster than the 5.6-second results that MotorTrend and Car and Driver got in their reviews. Although... it will probably be a little faster in X1 with M Sport package because that one has launch control. :) Perhaps 5.0-second flat? haha... :)
Not a fan of the center console design and execution. It looks cheap and a little plastic-y. That and the rear design is not a home-run IMO. Everything else I like.
Most reviewers have no studio, so they are heavy on drives but for us the visuals are important so focus more on that, but still give a general indication of what the drive is like.
Excellent Rav4 with BMW batch, series 1 isn’t a real Bmrs. Why pay more? For a batch? No way I still preferred a Crv o Rav4 even Cx5 and gorgeous difference in resale profit than a classy and fake german Bmrs. X4,X6 or x5 are real BMw.
Touchscreen controls for everything...yes or NO?
No
No
No
No
No

I ordered my X1 in November and just picked it up last Saturday! It's my favorite vehicle I've owned yet! Lots to love about it
BMW REALLY STEPPING IT UP! the X1 looks fantastic!

Great vid. Always giving us the important details. Thanks for what you and your team do.
Love the phone latch. Everyday is a carnival
Awesome video as always! Always looking forward to your videos!
Much appreciated Ryan!
BMW is stepping up!! I gonna buy this bro.
I truly believe, in my heart of hearts that Mike speaks faster and faster, bit by bit in increments, in each new review.
Just havin’ a bit of fun, it’s just the intro really n in all honesty I actually kinda luv the energy 😋
Great review. Part of the reason for the depth of the floor is to give the electric variant (iX1) closer to regular ICE cars’ floor height instead of an excessively high one.
Nice review keep up the good work Mike
How does this compare to Mazda cx 5 turbo and Volvo xc40?
Absolutely love the new design language on this boxy x1. Hope the new x3 looks similar.
I love, love, love my BMWX1 with its twin turbo engine, fuel injected. It doesn’t have insane HP but it can fly and drives like it’s on a cloud. Mine is the 2015 model. I’m hoping in a few years to be able to buy a brand new one. Or close to it.
I got the 2019 last year it really love it
I love your configurations! This is exactly what I have ordered! :)
Great video! Long time subscriber here. Thanks for years of great content and quality….
I really like the look of the X1 inside and out. No HVAC control knobs and buttons is bad but finding vehicles with buttons and knobs is getting harder sadly thanks Tesla. Flush door handles where the phone charger is etc.
Can't decide between 2023 BMW X1 or X3. Any suggestions?
Saw this parked today for the first time and it's so big, I'll call it a X3. 😏
This one is My favourite colour.
Will get my X1 next week.

Awesome Video 👌🏽
thank you!
Great review!! You kept it fresh and exciting with your tone and energy.
10:46 Nice to see that BMW is taking tech cues from the Chrysler Pacifica.
Just like my 2021 BMW X1 .

Love your excitement 😁, great video, color please!!!
Discovered ur channel only a week ago, but really like your reviews.
X1 wireless charging is best design. If you look closely there is a tunnel in middle with fans to drain out heat. Remember heat goes up.
More important than the acceleration is the deceleration. Hope you can include that in your tests as well!
Isn't the X2 smaller than the X1?
This gets me excited for the X2. Just slope the roof for that more stylist coupe like feel and I’m good.
I think the spare tire sits in the lower trunk space….the X1 that I ordered does have a spare…folks need a spare just in case…
Thanks for the video guys, can you confirm the color of the car? Is it cape york green ? or maybe the storm bay metallic? love these black tires
I'm pretty certain this is the Storm Bay Metallic. I've test driven the Cape York Green and it's much more green in-person than it appears online.
Name of shades? Sick red lense too
Impressive. Very nice.
Wearing The Straight Pipes merch I see. Is there a potential collab in the works?

Yes there was a delay for sure, but I think most of our viewers will shut it off as start and stop is annoying. So when it’s off, it’s all good.
I just got my new X1 last weekend and can say there def is a delay due to the start/stop. I deactivate it before every drive and which eliminates the sluggish delay. Super fun to drive!
My used 7k Msport doesnt have the interior camara or heated seat/wheel😮
Don't shoot me but I think I like it😂
I think x1m would be cool however you would be quickly into x340i territory pricewise
There has been many complaints about it's transmission and delayed shifting.
All Automakers should switch to Mazda solution for back cover, That is very smart clean and handy solution.
Always enjoy your reviews, especially because you not only do a great job, but you actually measure cargo space. 👍
I do have to add I kind of dig the rose colored shades. With the beard they give you a General Abbot look from the TV series Sweet tooth.
my dream car
The centre console is really disappointing to me, n it’s bugging me lol
The X1 for 45K is amazing for the money.

does BMW Canada only have one X1 for reviews? :) it always seems to be this Cape York color one with Ontario license plate BZMW 290. :)
We all drive the same one haha
@@ACCELER8TV did you happen to save the 60-0mph braking test result? Thanks!
Is this the Cape York Green Metallic?
It has to , it shows outside although indoors looks gray
@@stockdetective4396 thank you sir :)
Do you feel the FWD bias?
Which clr is thiss
bro where did you get those glasses
Yes
BMW X1 or Volvo XV40?
Good review ..But bang for the buck from all of BMW sport utilities the X3 M40 is the best one. I have driven everything because my wife works for BMW and I just really enjoy driving her dealer car and I drive nothing but sports cars and that car drives like one .

Yep. Parr of the reason I'm going with volvo xc40
What's the deal with the color. I'm seeing this smoky, powdery, creamy color tone everywhere nowadays.
Shopping between this and a VW GTI. I Can tolerate the all touch for the benefits of the GTI in performance but not for a mini-grocery shopper 😅
But also, I’d love to see your take on the new GTI! @acceler8
We need to get the new GTI on this channel ASAP.
@@ACCELER8TV turned on notifications for when you do ;)

Looks like you snuck into a dealer to film this. Much better reviewers
This is our studio lol
Not a fan of the center console design and execution. It looks cheap and a little plastic-y. That and the rear design is not a home-run IMO. Everything else I like.
10 seconds on the motor. Huh!
You didn't really talk about how the vehicle drives. 😒
Not much to say. It's a small SUV so it handles ok but nothing special.
It definitely drive better than previous F series. But if u want a smooth transmission just go ahead and pick 8 speed zf.
Snazzy
I wouldn't buy a new BMW. To be charged for a heated or cooled steering wheel/seat is absolutely criminal.
Every luxury manufacturer charges for heated and cooled seats, as well as heated steering wheels
x2 is the smallest
Black trim goes away with M
Me gusta Bmw para wendy
I don’t like any of BMW new facelifts. It’s all based on “electric cars” it has this special electric look I hate it
Great video. Just wish you’d spend more time driving and less time on things like exterior design and boot space
Most reviewers have no studio, so they are heavy on drives but for us the visuals are important so focus more on that, but still give a general indication of what the drive is like.
It's a well made grey box on wheels, very forgettable.
Excellent Rav4 with BMW batch, series 1 isn’t a real Bmrs.
Why pay more? For a batch? No way I still preferred a Crv o Rav4 even Cx5 and gorgeous difference in resale profit than a classy and fake german Bmrs.
X4,X6 or x5 are real BMw.
Guess what, X1 and X2 are the only ones built in Germany. True BMW snobs would say only M are BMW.
First!
YEAH!!
Wish to see you compare this new X1 to the new Caddy XT4, they matched well.
Thanks for the detail review. What colour is this? Cheers
Believe it was Cape York Green Metallic.
Thanks for the reply.
