I hate the "The younger generations want X" bruh the younger generations can't afford a beater honda, let alone this. PS: We know the real reason for a touch screen, its cheaper to produce.
Im 23 and i do not use the screen in my car. I love the rotary dial, but mine is Idrive 6. I can imagine the dial being way more harder to use with the newest idrives
as an older gen z person (24), i can confirm with the state of everything i cannot feasibly afford this. automakers are only ridding of physical controls and putting everything in stick on screens to save costs and make manufacturing easier. anything else is just a lie. i'm only going to have cars with real buttons and knobs for things like hvac bc why would i want it behind 3 menus in my infotainment?
The iDrive knob is the reason I love iDrive 7. Removing it because "younger" people are used to touch is like marketing grape juice to college students because they aren't used to wine.
I’m a Bmw Genius in italy, unfortunately here in europe we also have the 18i/18d engine options. They are basically undrivable. Just imagine the issue you had with the gearbox but with a 3 cylinder engine with 136hp, not only that they are also fwd only. Absolute garbage
Just looked at BMW and the x28i is advertised with $599 / mo on 36 months, but $4,180 down pmt. Apply the down pmt to monthly and it makes it $715/mo. X35i is at $759/mo with $4,630 down pmt. Extended out, that's $888/mo. $32k to drive this ugly thing over 3 years.
@dazzlingd Agreed. The wife has a 2023 X3, and we had a 2024 X1 as a loaner at one point. The X3 is so much smoother and more comfortable. The X1, even though it did not have the M Sport package, was stiff. The DCT was laggy off the line. The best thing I can say about it is that the steering was pretty good compared to other BMWs, and the sound system was great. But, it didn't feel as luxurious as the X3.

@@neelkrishnato answer your question, yes. We do expect it. The only reason vehicles are expensive now is because of COVID. So yes, getting f’ed over on everything because our government shut down the entire economy makes us upset!!
Wheel size has become a trend, just like tech and screens, I bet most people that buy these kind of cars have no idea what the number even means, they just want the highest one. I don't know why you'd want more than an 18/19" driving on the street
About ten years ago I found a used Buick Regal GS with the rare 6 speed manual. I wanted to buy the car, and I could afford it, but it had 21" wheels from the factory. The car was $13,000 with 40k miles. a set of 4 tires ran over $1500. If you bend a wheel on it, that's an insurance claim. I didn't buy the car and that's a shame.
The cause can differ tho. I know in Toyota Land, often times the dealers get what they get. Other times, whatever's on the lot is what the product manager thinks will make him $, and sometimes that product manager has 💩 for brains and no understanding of what their buying demographic needs and wants
hey DCT let the clutch out already!😆 I think this is the nicest you've been to a BMW, and it wasnt even a rear biased platform, thanks for the techincals!
Deliberate change in aesthetics to make new cars look worth it. Its like apple changing the look of the phone for no reason. The depreciation is so bad they need to justify why buy new.
I recently had the now prior gen X2 as a loaner and went from disappointed when I was presented with it, to enjoying it. Surprisingly enjoyable and enough utility.
I‘m 59 and I have ordered mine. Can’t wait to drive it. I drove a BMW1coupe and then an X1 when I had kids to carry but right now back to more sporty version.
Considering car sales are falling off a cliff you could lease for less than owning, and you can do it with better and more reliable brands. Going for anything over 30K at this point is also, a complete and utter waste of money since the depreciation of german vehicles has only gotten worse and compensating with higher prices isn't working.
Car sales are def not falling off a cliff lol. And there's a lot you just cant get for under 30K. This car is crap but that doesn't mean everything German or 30K+ is.
Amazing how much effort they put into this interior, looks great. Contrast that with the new X3 interior which looks like they absolutely phoned it in and cost cut it to the bone. 5 series was similarly nerfed quality wise.
The engine is not the problem. The B48 is a very good engine too, it's just a B58 with two cylinders less. The problem is a lot of the rest, such as how ugly it is, the poor visibility, the stupid touch screens, etc. PS: but the B58 is indeed amazing, I own a car with a B58 in it...
Mark said all that he needed to say, it was built to be leased. And that's the level of quality it's built to, to be disposable after 3 years. If it lasts longer than the warranty with mechanical repairs that don't total the thing, miraculous.
I am nearly always in agreement with the mainstream views on what cars and SUVs are attractive, but I certainly am against the grain on this one. I love it, I think it looks awesome for someone looking for a more agressive stance, small SUV, that its somewhere between a hatch sedan and a true SUV. maybe its because i'm not a previous owner of a BMW so i'm not as put off by it going somewhat against the grain of other BMWs, but i happily bought a X2 xDrive 28i with M Sport and M Sport Pro packages, its a really fun car for the daily highway driver.
Apple Carplay connectivity seems to be common even on the idrive 8 version. there's an inherent issue with staying connected to your phone but when it is connected, it's great.
Thinking about competitors and my next BMW. This coming from the current owner of a 2009 328i Wagon and 2017 X3 (last X3 model that actually looked good!). We've got almost a 1,000,000 mile BMW history. Looking at Merc, Audi, or BMW... I seriously think that the Genesis GV70 may have beat the Germans at their own game! Have I lost my mind!? Also looking at the Ionic 5 NSport. Sadly, BMW has lost our vote going forward.
I loved the last gen x2, it has lots of nice features that even the x3 (current car) doesn’t. Overall I can admit the x3 is a better car, but the x2 was lovely in almost every way and suited my needs perfectly. I liked it more than the current one - especially with the old school controls. It was reliable and great. I chose it over a rav4 prime because the Toyota dealer wanted an extra 30k markup (LOL). I miss it (it was totaled). Shame it didn’t sell well, I loved it and I’m sure others did too - there were dozens of us!😂
It is so sad that bmw has become known for having steering with "not a lot of feel but very direct." I have an e60 at home that is definitely less direct and precise but has loads of feel....like a bmw should. It brings me so much joy simply commuting just because of how beautifully the car communicates the road. I drove a 2024 3 series recently. I have zero desire to own any bmw from the F series and onward.
The only thing coming through those good speakers is disappointment- They nailed the market though . Especially with what folks are paying for entry luxury SUVs. Looks good and looks like if feels good. Just too many close rivals to have any type of overwhelming success.
Hi just a question. Is it also laggy and slow off the line in Sport Mode without Launch Control? Like you were saying it feels laggy/dead for 2 seconds from the get go?
I had the displeasure of hailing a medical transport rideshare and they picked me up in a gold X2. I had to wrestle to throw my walker into the cargo area (do we just call them trunks?) and when I finally hobbled into the rear seat, it felt like a wannabe Yaris.
They should have kept with the Aisin 8 speed trans. It wasn't a ZF but did good enough in the previous models. Dual clutch is fine in a performance car where you expect quirks and trade offs but in a daily commuter I'm not a fan. Also not a fan of the styling on this one. Used to like BMW but with all the quirks I'm done. Had a used 228i GC for 8 months. The car was amazing deal used but within that time the idrive kept having issues with laggy phone calls and music, LED headlight went out, LED fog light went out, drivers door rubber seals were starting to fall apart, barely hit something in the road and cracked the oil pan since they don't even put a solid plastic cover under it anymore.
A quick note to anyone who is coming here gently depressed - make yourself a favor and skip to 8:20, stay at it to around minute 9 and then turn your phone off and have a drink. Not even Svagegeese could salvage this one.
Having driven one, the lag off the line is incredibly distracting. Really not sure why BMW doesn’t put a torque converter on it like Honda/Acura does with their DCTs.
My Hyundai Kona N-line has a DCT my wife hates it but I love it because my driving is very spirited so I don’t feel the shutters it just has harsh shifts which I love so this is a good upgrade choice
I'm puzzled that BMW can't launch a front-drive-based auto. The 8-speed torque converter auto I had in my Clubman JCW (same engine as M135) also had a bad delay getting under way.
At this price point, just step up to the X3. Rear drive dynamics, smoother automatic transmission, a bit more space and practicality. As mentioned, no enthusiasts are going to choose this X2 over other practical sports cars.
I really hate what BMW has become. As a kid, I used to dream about the E32, E34, E36. Then it all got a bit more... arguable? But right now I feel like everything they say and do is bullshit. Like the reasoning for all the touchy-stuff in the interior - goddamn, a car is not a smartphone, it needs simple, safe and easy to use controls, that's it, full stop! Even the indicators are messed up at BWM... I mean, do yoi remember how they've been marketing LED lights when they were first used on the E60? They said LEDs enhance safety because they reach full brightness instantly. And now they're doing that idiotic indicator animation, where it lighs up slowly and disappears intstantly - what the hell? Why? And dont even start me on the design. Those cars are just ugly. You can try to play with different colors, wheels, and optional packages, but what you achieve is that the ugliness doesn't strike you right away. Disgusting.

Like the reasoning for all the touchy-stuff in the interior - goddamn, a car is not a smartphone, it needs simple, safe and easy to use controls, that's it, full stop! Even the indicators are messed up at BWM... I mean, do yoi remember how they've been marketing LED lights when they were first used on the E60? They said LEDs enhance safety because they reach full brightness instantly. And now they're doing that idiotic indicator animation, where it lighs up slowly and disappears intstantly - what the hell? Why?
And dont even start me on the design. Those cars are just ugly. You can try to play with different colors, wheels, and optional packages, but what you achieve is that the ugliness doesn't strike you right away.
Disgusting.
Where did you get that Stanley sticker for your Contigo? I've been looking at doing the same thing lol.
so.... no manual transmission option then?
BMW helped LEGO create new bricks that have seamless lines when joined together.
Goddamn! That is how your fire me up on Friday Morning! A FWD based BMW! Yes, LETS GOOOOO!!!!
I prefer x2 in non m sport package, it makes most sense. Looks better too.
iDrive knob dial is a mistake to remove IMHO.
That takeoff from a stop is... yeesh. I thought my Nissan CVT took a while to engage, but good lord
