- Like its larger siblings, the BMW X1 adeptly blends the versatility and higher ride height of an SUV with the fun driving dynamics of a BMW sports sedan.

On the road, this is the best looking small crossover, in IMHO.
Better looking than the x3. Looks like a baby x5.
yeah lol
U mean baby X6
@@indoguju no don't ever compare that to an x6
Backup camera is now standard on 2018 model. I test drove it yesterday and I really like it.
Such a fantastic video. Great job on this format of car review!
I have this version BMW X1 (F48) nearly the same build and color scheme.
I highly recommend this car but above all, I recommend the following packages:
-Premium Pack: LED Headlights, Panoramic sunroof, ambient lighting are great!-Luxury Pack: Real leather seats
-Driver's assistance pack: As they said, no rear camera...why BMW.
-Tech Pack: ONLY if you care about the larger navigation screen. HUD is ok...and navigation on your phone is still faster and more efficient.
Options:
-I skipped on the Harmon Kardon but after driving the car for ~5000 miles, I do regret not purchasing the upgrade for $875-Also, the sliding and reclining rear seat adjustment for $300 is a great option I failed to tick on my options list. Giving your rear passenger more space and ability to lay back a little.
All in, quite an expensive small crossover but you pay for what you get!P.S. UA-cam won't let me separate the text into a organized paragraph. Sorry for the wall of text.
I bought same exact model including options and color shown in video. Harmon Kardon is worth upgrade. I test drove all 3 competitors and this is the best in this segment. The only down side is Turbo lag which is noticeable during complete stop start.
To solve the Turbo lag, you could put the transmission in "DS" mode which significantly reduces it but at the cost of efficiency. Of course, you could just get off the line and then put it back in "D"
I do regret those speakers haha, I'm currently upgrading mine one piece at a time. I'm able to source pieces from the 2 series active model
thanks I'll keep those in mind as I'll be looking to get one of thse for winter purpose only vehicle.
I have the same car and I highly suggest getting the sports seats instead of going with the regular seats.
jluuhalo1286 Thanks I'm considering buying this car in the future!
So you've finally arrived...
_I've been waiting._
Great video! Though I don't think I'd ever cross shop a Buick Encore when looking at the x1.
My mom has this car but I absolutely LOVE driving this car so much. It's very fun to drive
White X1 look like a Panda!
People who get under these comments and talk trash about others who buy smaller models are miserable. I love my x1 😂
Love my X1! It is a really lovely and fun car to drive!
how do the new F48 (2015+) handle and drive compared to the E84 models? I have a 2013 and LOOOOOVE it. But also love the new styling updates of the F48's. I'm debating whether to upgrade but I no my car is RWD biased with hydro steering, apparently it's much better feeling than the newer F48's....
love the scruff Micah
Please review X3 too!
I love my x1 zero complaints
I was shocked at how rough the ride was. Had never driven a car with 18 inch rims before though
To think navigation would come standard on any bmw. Dreams are crushed
I absolutely love this car it is amazing. I much prefer a crossover like this then a sedan
nice shoes dude
Size wise it seems like the Lincoln MKC is bigger-enough to be compared to the X3 not the X1.
Like the look and the small size of the car, but the road noise on freeway is a bit too high for comfort.
Reliable?
how can i have the text/subtitle of this review?
Micah, Would you buy the x3 or x1? I am trying to decide but I'm so conflicted. X3 is bigger but looks really dated to me at least, the x1 is smaller but looks so fresh.
What did you get/ how do you like it?
@@stevecorn1659 i got the x3, it’s definitely roomier though stiffer suspension to what I’m used to but good with corners
It was film in Cali and X1 is from NJ ^^
WOW! 2016 NO Back Up Camera
a picture is worth a thousand words
The backup camera is standard in the 2016 Civic base model. The value for money is ridiculously low here.
The backup camera is standard on the $15000 Jetta, but not available on the $40000 Audi A4 Komfort Trim. Yeah that's right, and you can't even add it as an option until you move up to the Progress Trim.
iam a big fan
Turn the music up, I can almost hear the commentary. 😉
What’s the insurance looking like “generally” with good driving record?
AngieMusicArt I used to have a X5 and I used to pay almost 400 with progressive but I was young back then and I think they used to go by age my driving record wasn’t the best but it was decent enough
22 yo and $175 a mo on Geico on my 17 X1
EDC? yes, no? please help
cruise control?
How much can this tow?
Are BMWs a reliable good car? Do I have to worry about engine problems later in mileage? Aren't they expensive to maintain?
Jaxxon the Healer if thats what you're looking for, buy a toyota
The X1 has above average reliability and bmw as a whole is in the top 5 for reliability.
Doesnt this model have a recall? How does it affect the insurance cost?
Renato Sevillano the recall has been addressed and was nothing big.
3:28 it had an inline-6, not a V6 :P
Ha you beat me to it! :P
Ugh, I hate dumb screw ups like that. Of course it was an inline-6. Mea culpa!
I don't think anyone really cared anyway lol... I just thought it was funny coz it reminded me of my apprenticeship youth in a garage when I'd call something a 'flux capacitor' to piss my boss off lol
Wait, flux capacitors aren't real?! Crap, I've got a script to update.
IT SAID INLINE V6 ONSCREEN DUMMY
If you want a more luxurious CX-5, this is the one to get Imo.
this is the same size as the cx-3 though. the cx-5 is in the same size class as the x3 actually lol.
cx-3 is way too small even in sub compact segment. new X1 is biggest sub compact Crossover in terms of interior space, so you can compare it with cx 5.
Mazda is shit
+GamingFine Time they've come along way, more competitive now.
+GamingFine Time Mazda is not shit lmfao
how tall are you micah? would it fit a family of 6 footers?
Micah is 5'10" tall. You would have to test that out yourself.
Nice✌️
If Audi would sell the Q2 or Q1 in North America, I wouldn’t be watching this video but this one will have to do
What! 27 cubic feet?
Is there a car Micah doesn't like?
1gen had V6 wtf? You mean I6?
Please compare this with a mercedes Gla 250.
best bmw ever
Rugema Nick bmw 2002 is better ;)
It’s fun to drive, but it’s too tiny tbh. Visibility out of the back isn’t very good either. The piano black also scratches just by looking at it. Buy something else.
what's the price?
o 36000$
random guy lol yea right I've been to bmw they go for 42k to 49k because alot of options aren't standard. like leather or phone integration. Buy this used and you'll be getting it closer to what is worth.
I went to the bmw place yesterday and it was like 30,000 or less
I can't believe heated front seats and a backup camera are optional, I would much rather have a Hyundai Tucson with those things standard and it's better looking.
Heated Seats are not standard in Tuscon too. Of course the backup camera should be standard in any car.
They're standard in Canada.
+sunil varma datla
BMW is a luxury car. Heated seat should be standard. heck, hyundai elantra have heated seat for the rear passenger and that car is 3 times cheaper than BMW x1
Barobran92 ...You can have your Hyundai and keep it. Have a nice day!
Fun fact: the top trim Mazda cx-9, a nice 3 row crossover, is cheaper than this.
Truth: Nothing nicer than a BMW badge.
+smonkey001 also truth: there are a lot of things nicer than a BMW badge
Shell Casing totally agree！ and The Subaru Forster also way better Than x1… the only reason people buy x1 is because its bmw…
Eh... have the gla 250
Would you recommend your Gla 250 over this vehicle?
I don't want all wheel drive I wish it was rear wheel option :/
its really embarassing to drive X1 even if its BMW brand. Why do i have to drive cheapest model and pay over $40k. There is nothing to brag about it. X6 model sounds luxury but X1?? hahahaha
andy sky I have a little dick
Hau Freren the reviewer is wrong. it is available in both xDrive and sDrive which is what you want. the previous gen did not come in RWD.
andy sky I wish I was black so it would be giant
Reminds me of my CX-5, just a BMW lol
Much faster toi
wait, the fact that we even use the word BMW & plastic in the same sentence is wrong. I don't care if it's high quality plastic or not because it's still plastic at that. A German automaker who prides itself on quality sure needs to revision themselves
i think the german are not trying hard no more because their car are to expensive and most people just lease them.
I guess you haven't sat in a recent lower end BMW. A Kia Optima SXL has a much nicer interior than a BMW 340i....at a $25,000 delta in cost, but also a large delta in performance. BMW's mainstream offerings have simply never had a nice interior.
+FudgeRevolution I still think BMW interior doesn't scream luxury at all. You have to step up to the 6 series and 7 series to get luxury stuff even still the interior still pale compared to a Toyota and Honda and to me thats sad. At least Audi and Mercedes give you luxury feeling from their lower end model to their top end.
Pretty much. Though the CLA is much worse interior quality wise compared to a Civic. Toyotas are pretty bad as well. The Camry and Corolla are both horribly cheap with plastic fantastic interiors.
+FudgeRevolution true but at least the CLA was made for teenager's that can't afford the C-Class. but BMW just seem like its the 90's with their interior
motley crue home sweet home
Can’t handle the road noise. Underwhelmed.
why people wan Lexus , it a Glorify toyota.
All the upgrades for 50k....not worth it at all.
Sazon Man buying one with all the options loaded for 21k and 22k miles
You'll never find an X1 for $36k.
Keyboard G, I just bought a basic one for $29K.
There are tons of them.
I would buy a NX over a X1
Вмвх1
Panda........
When did Mica get married?
No clue but I sure am jealous of his wifey.

The only people who buy this BMW are either rich teenagers, or people who want to say you have a BMW SUV (or SAV) but can't afford an X3, X5, X6
wow MJ ur a snob, how about a person who only has one passenger most of the time and does not need a bigger car.😝
izak mend then BUY a civic 😝
MJ Maranan why would you buy a civic. Oh I know, when you're poor as hell
How about someone that needs a fun, good looking SUV that doesn't look like they were made for soccer moms and isn't very wide due to the fact that the roads that they usually travel on are crowded so they might scrape other cars. Plus having a very long car would be difficult to park. If you've been to NYC then you'd know what I'm talking about.
your are absolutely right people who buy a X3 cant afford a X5 and people who buy a 3-serie cant afford a 5-Serie BMW. And in general people who buy bmw or mercedes cant afford a Porsche... and people who buy Porsche cant afford a Ferrari and people who buy ONE ferrari maybe cant afford TWO ferrari? who knows?
So biased...BMW interiors feel so cheap lol
I have a 2017 BMW x1. It's rear seats are inhospitable and worst. Short thigh support, steep incline, makes it unusable, the suspension is also very stiff, and give a Jarry ride, much worse than any Toyota car of half it's price.Its a hoax and BMW just cheating money by showing these reviews
All BMWs look the same. I'll pass.
You right. I could never tell the different. BMW m6 grand coupe is the only car i can spot from miles away and knows its the m6 series because it seem wider than the 7 series.
+Fequi Simon yes they need update the front of there cars. and not make all of them look the same
Yep. Lol good reason to lease the cheaper bmw models. "Look wealthy". Just remove the X1 tag. Lol. 75% don't know the difference ha
This model is pointless and laughable. lol Other non luxury models are better
Actually there is a plenty of cheap plastic: clunky glove box, the cheapest sun visors I ever seen in my life, back of the seats is all covered with horrible plastic, etc. Hell, 2017 Mazda CX-5 interior materials feel much better. And guess what, blind spot monitoring is not available at all in this Ultimate Driving Machine, not in 2016 model, not even in 2017, so ultimate my ass. KBB is just another biassed sell out whom reviews one can not trust.
