DCT's an interesting choice, but that's a pretty compelling package. $50k is expensive, but in BMW land it's decent value for the price. Should be able to do 0-60 under 5 seconds too
Ben. I have owned three BMWs and overall, I loved them. Every one I have ever driven has lived up to its old tagline of, "The Ultimate Driving Machine" because they are all great handling vehicles, in my opinion. Here is the funny thing about them, and I am dating myself a bit, but I have always called them the "Banana Republic" (store) of vehicles because more so back in the day, Banana Republic clothes were for the urban, stylish, trendy guy that looked great for a minute but not meant to last, so then it was on to the next thing. BMWs look great, but like Land Rovers, just lease them. After 100,000 miles, (maybe sooner) the electronics and other expensive out of warranty things begin failing.....So.....On to the next thing.
Had a ‘17 X1 M sport, then a ‘20 X5 M50i. My wife would differ, but I prefer a more nimble vehicle like this X1 M235i. You don’t need more vehicle for most situations.
The real comparison to the standard X1 shows you get maybe a second more speed 0-60mph, but poorer gas mileage and a bumpier ride and no spare tire for about $10K more than a comparably equipped standard X1. If you’re happy to give up a rear window wiper/washer in addition, go for an X2😢
Is someone paying you to watch these and post this same comment? This is the third or so I've seen from you. You're on every video of this car posting the same drivel. Is this the Mazda brigade I've heard about? Go do something else with your time.
I hate blacked out vehicles now. It feels a bit tacky unless its done really well. Im a huge audi fan and i cant stand when the 4 rings are blacked out and just blend into a sea of black completely invisible and monotonous
I think you should take cars out for longer and more dynamic drives. Walking pace crawling in a dealer's lot doesn't seem too entertaining.

With the high performance tires in the warm weather it's going to well
BMW built awesome vehicles. This BMW is the best one love the the red and black interior is so cool
It’s a great vehicle .. it definitely blows the Q3 away. Q5/X3/GLC .. More like it .. super impressed .. good job Ben
Hi Ben, can I ask what your height is and how was the leg room in the back sat behind the driver seat? Great review.

In general BMW (77%), Audi (70%), Land Rover (69%), & Benz (67%) are the top 4 most leased vehicles. Most people don't want them past the warranty.
Can you do a review on the new 2024 Lincoln Nautilus please . 🙏🏽
Kind of a shame that the x3 don’t have this dual digital screen
Exactly, I wish the x1 was the same size of the x3
It will.
Better than the M5 competition?
Not as fast, but it’s a great value
Compared to GLB 35, what’s your thought? Saw your glb35 review.
Tough choice, but I lean towards x1

Review BMW X2 pls
hmmm... this or the volvo xc40? that center console area really turns me off in this and i think the seats in the volvo are probably more comfortable
2024 BMW X1 M35i or 2024 Mini JCW Country man??
Where they put the new check engine lights?
It’s a driving ms daisy video
What do you think of the new X2?
I want to see one in person first
@BenHardyCars is this ruby black metallic color?

The problem with the X1 is the problems you have with everything in the screen. Not daily driver material!
X2 is sportier looking
I feel like the interior is outdated already 😢
about to run that thing dry lol
50k for something the size of a Chevy Trax
Wow that weak power for 55😢
On no planet is this the best BMW lol
The standard X1 is a better deal- better ride, better mileage, spare tire, only a second slower to 60mph.
Oh, and $10K cheaper when comparably equipped.
