Same thing BMW are doing on the new Mini Cooper as well. Exhaust just blows air, inside it's popping and banging. They've even put DSG farts in as well. Tragic.
Well, even bmw admitted that china has become their biggest market, so makes sense. SUVs for Americans and Ugly 5 and 7 series for Chinese audiences...
You struggled to find some pluses, and understandably so, Max, -- your diplomacy is unmatched. Kudos. I'm not so diplomatic -- the car is a POS embarrassment and a result of whatever BMW is smoking lately. Still a huge fan of your show. Keep 'em comin'.
Awful car that has no right to exist. Love the way you demonstrate that you can safely drive at speeds in Germany that would get you a lengthy prison sentence in the UK. Many thanks for another honest and thought provoking review!
@@norsetv8752nothing was ever wrong with the look of the G8X from launch. Y’all just hate change and find it trendy to hate on it. As you can see the roads are filled with them now.
First time that an M Performance model (and 4 cylinder only) gets the quad exhaust, as VAG has been doing for a long time? 😢 Used to be reserved for real M models only
They give it to models that won't get a full m-version I believe. The x1m135i got it and now the x2m135i as well. We will probably also see it on the next 1 and 2 gt m135i.
With a total of 2,253,835 vehicles delivered to customers worldwide in 2023, the BMW brand posted growth of +7.3% from the previous year, with sales reaching a new all-time high!
@@tsaki_titan No way!!!! Duh, I was insinuating is that 5.4 for a 300hp BMW is pretty poor compared to a less powerful GTI, especially at the cost of the BMW. 300hp I would expect it to break into the 4 second range.
That’s absolutely bizarre that BMW have got rid of the idrive controller…. Fingers crossed this doesn’t become the norm, I can’t stand using the touch screen
I'm going from an m240i convertible manual. I test drove the X2 and really did enjoy it. I ordered one right after. I'm going to strip the badging off though. I think a 4c baby M isn't appropriate. But the car handled great, had plenty of pick up and go and he's right the seats are amazing.
Who the hell is green lighting these new hideous designs? The XM, the new M3/4, the 7 series. They all like cars carved from a block of wood. The dash display look like a bunch of iPads strung together. And I have two BMW's currently. Touch only controls creates safety issues. And he's right VW got smart and listened to their customers, getting rid of touch only.
I love the look. In fact, I never interested in M car but i probably buying this. "When everyone hate it, its time to buy it" - REBEL. BTW why don't just off the "iconic sound"? I also dislike fake sound
Highly doubt this is anywhere near as bad as portrayed here. But, I do agree it's overpriced & do agree it's a weird thing they got rid of it as a hot-hatch & made essentially scaled-down version of the X4.
The 1st thing I did - switch off those "Iconic sounds". And indeed, there's not much fascination in that bread-and-butter inline-4, it's just doing its job.
At least it is not that ugly so that you cant look at it.. progress. And yes i get that it is supossed to look like neue classe from the 60s but the difference is that the neue classe actually looked good.
Hi, how reliable is the all-wheel drive? I'm coming from permanent all-wheel drive and would like to buy the X1 M35i. I'm afraid of worsening my drive technology. Thank you for your content 🥳👍
I live in PA USA and I 'ordered' a Vegas Red X2 M35i with every available package and option. A bit over 60K USD and what I thought, given all the hype, was a great deal. Shifted down a notch from my fully-equipped X3 M40i. Ordered early December 2023. No information available on its build and delivery status until early May, when my dealer informed me that the model (?), my configuration (?), any X2 (?), would NOT be provided to customers in the US. No information from BMW area or corporate as to the reason. I checked dealer inventories from Boston to LA and found only a few low-end "lot cars" - mainly non-Ms, two half-equipped Ms. Does anyone know what's going on? A flaw found at the last moment? Baltimore? Robots on strike? Well, if I order another Bimmer. it'll be a 2025 X3 M50, so I can go down to my home state and pick it up. No ocean to cross. Help.
Trying everything they can to make it seem like a M car, exept for all the parts that would make a M car. At least no one would recognise it as a M or even a BMW.
A 540i has 340hp, I do not know which car you have that it does have 300hp. And knowing that a sedan is faster than a cross-over given same weight, because you know aerodynamics, so yeah.
The dude tried his best to stay calm and diplomatic but the frustration is clear…
That speaker exhaust shit is terrible, the car shouldnt have an M badge 😂
"BMW - The ultimate driving machine"
Same thing BMW are doing on the new Mini Cooper as well. Exhaust just blows air, inside it's popping and banging. They've even put DSG farts in as well. Tragic.
The car looks great, like a BMWX4, an modern SUV must have an aggressive und brutal look and BMW delivers!👍
The car industry has really become tasteless
Well, even bmw admitted that china has become their biggest market, so makes sense. SUVs for Americans and Ugly 5 and 7 series for Chinese audiences...
@@Ignotas_Tunaitis so we have to lose our taste now? Sad.
@@deruniversalindikator Seems like it, unless the market will come back for Europe again…
@@Ignotas_Tunaitis Yeah, I guess we need to stick to the classics and get some old cars / stay with the old cars.
Yeah its crazy to me how car design has tanked to an all time low the last 10 years or so
jesus christ BMW design has been going downwards so fast for the past 3 years its almost unreal
Just wait for the fanboys to say that it will grow on you 😂
This video is so funny to me hes just shitting on the car the whole time🤣🤣🤣🤣
yes because he didnt had sex for a long time

Id be embaressed to be seen in one of those..
Until the wife wants it and you have no choice 😂
@@gaara4667 If your wife wants one of those, thats a very good reason to divorse her
@@Admonitor_ that’s literally a woman’s car so what’s the issue🤦🏿♂️divorcing over her preference of vehicle is not wise. 🤷🏿♂️
I like it visually. The fake sound is too much🤣
Looks better than any old bmw, the old m3s that yall overhype so much, are garbage to me
Normally I hate when people just shit on a car during reviews but this car legitimately deserves it. And I’m a little bit of a BMW fan boy
Awful car that has no right to exist. Love the way you demonstrate that you can safely drive at speeds in Germany that would get you a lengthy prison sentence in the UK. Many thanks for another honest and thought provoking review!

in a recent bmw seminar they told our salesman that the touchscreen reaction will become way faster and that it was just a production mistake
Bmw is tryin everything to drive its customers/fans away.
New 7 series, new 5 series and now this
BMW has welded its colours to the mast. And they are the colours of countries like China, Russia, America, Arabia and India.

Yeah… that’s why their sales increase year over year.
Your perspective deserves the platform you’re growing I hope more people get to enjoy you g
5.4 sec 0-100 is GTI w/DSG territory. Not good with nearly 60hp more.

@@PinkFuzzyBalls it's heavy bruv... I'm sure it's over 200kg heavier than a GTI.
@@tsaki_titan so is the Audi SQ2, but it breaks the 4 second barrier 🤷
@@tsaki_titan Sure, but also has more hp, more torque, and the advantage of AWD.

I was given one of these when my E39 Alpina was in for a service.Basically I just laughed.
you know its not a good look when max and martin are more interested in a turbo S passing by than the car they're reviewing 😭😭
I love the look. In fact, I never interested in M car but i probably buying this. "When everyone hate it, its time to buy it" - REBEL. BTW why don't just off the "iconic sound"? I also dislike fake sound
Didn‘t get that too. If you don‘t like it, turn it off. Would have been interesting to hear the normal sound through the gears. Chance gone.
9:41 that's just BMW knowing their customers.
My name Max💀💀
and they all sound the same :D dutch
Hallo, maai neem is Meks
I'm MAX!
??
Highly doubt this is anywhere near as bad as portrayed here. But, I do agree it's overpriced & do agree it's a weird thing they got rid of it as a hot-hatch & made essentially scaled-down version of the X4.
Man i just can't stop laughing, you can't tell even one good thing about this
The 1st thing I did - switch off those "Iconic sounds". And indeed, there's not much fascination in that bread-and-butter inline-4, it's just doing its job.
He's the yummiest YT car reviewer!
Alfa Romeo has nailed it with the dashboard in Gulia, that's exactly how it should be
Best part about the look of that car is the colour
I love your videos
Am i really the only one loving this car😂
nope, i love it too
Nice color!
Nice car
Good explanation as always Max 👍 A sad powertrain however 😕
Looks like it's built for speed!
if they fixed the tailights it would look better
the car isnt really that ugly, it looks like a small x6. but man that interior, the lag, the fake sound, the 2L shitty engine... mannnn
interior i agree, they fixed the lag, u can turn off the sound, and b48 is a very reliable engine
How this design saw anything beyond the trash can after being drawn is beyond me. I really don’t understand how anyone thought this was a good idea.
Smoke and mirrors is spot on…
I must agree, the seats are almost perfect and in general interior quality is superb. Engine is of course far from being superb... pity.
Step by step, they're working on getting you to embrace the concept of the 15 minute cities...
At least it is not that ugly so that you cant look at it.. progress. And yes i get that it is supossed to look like neue classe from the 60s but the difference is that the neue classe actually looked good.
maybe you will try the new audi s3 facelift with 333 hp and rear diff
Personnaly..i really like the new design👌❤️
I wouldnt call that design.
It is. I don’t care what you call it
As a lifelong BMW lover my take is, BMW is completely lost at design.
Design wise this car is a Fiat Multipla on steroids😂
Oui
"let me decide!"
Get used to not being able to any more
Way to expensive for what you get in my opinion 😅

Könntest du auch bitte mal einen Kia stinger GT machen?? Das wäre mal ein interessantes cooles Fahrzeug.
Stinger GT Most underrated
Vom KIA Stinger GT hat schon genug Videos gemacht. Vielleicht mal googlen nh...
I can feel your disappointment at 8:17 ......🙃
Am i the only one who quite likes the car?
For an Autoban Blast 🚀
It’s like they have a contest at BMW who draws the ugliest car
Time to hire that dude back from Hyundai Genesis
M really stands for marketing these days
What are bmw doing?
This, or the iX2 30?
video starts at 9:55
i have an '23 X1... i HATE the touch screen and stupid shelf between front seats... i am getting rid of it, iDrive 8 is garbage.
The rear looks like a T-Roc lmao
The X1 M35i is far better looking in every way
The rear looks like a VW T-Roc
Please review Toyota Prius
Will BMW make full blown M model
Less gooo❤❤❤
For me it's the side view but otherwise i like the look

When you don't have money for a real BMW but really want a BMW...
For the x2 m35i price you can get an f80 m3
Omg, 16:42 the turn signal is working.
How to compare to the Jaguar E-Pace?
This has to betoverall the most horrendous BMW ever produced. Very sad!
XM?? 🤔
MEGANE MK3 RS REVIEW ON NURBURGRING PLEASE!!!!
IM BEGGING YOU
does it really exist? Has anyone ever saw one on the road?
Its look like an Hyundai or a chinese car😢🤢🤮
They smoking dat new age crack at BMW
Can you do GLC COUPE 43. 2024
I'm very tolerant, so my opinion on design doesn't really matter, but I prefer the XM over this.
All this and only 50 error codes per liter.
Motorsound ist das nicht oder bang und olufsen stereo mode
This car looks crazy😍
I genuinely think this is a good looking crossover
He was really disappointed to be honest.
In the first video of the car on this channel I said that I liked it's design, but I'm not so sure anymore...
are the burbles from the speakers?
yep, actual exhaust makes no sound at all.
I had zero emotions driving it recently
That car needed 350hp !!! It would make much more sense to get it in the years of cheap electric power
make a reveiw of bmw xm pls
Already done
I have several question, number 1 is: Why tf does a 35i car have a 4 cylinder??
Nice color….only thing I like😂
I'm convinced BMW is purposely dumbing down their mainstream products to make the transition to EV's seem like an improvement. Change my mind.
I actually like the design more of this new X2 more TBH, but the rest of the car has so much flaws and glaring faults it is hard to like.
Looks good till you see the back
Trying everything they can to make it seem like a M car, exept for all the parts that would make a M car.
At least no one would recognise it as a M or even a BMW.
My 300hp 540i stock does the 0-60 in 5.0 or less….how is this thing so slow??
A 540i has 340hp, I do not know which car you have that it does have 300hp. And knowing that a sedan is faster than a cross-over given same weight, because you know aerodynamics, so yeah.
also this is some kind of haldex type drivetrain crap?
