the quad-exhaust makes it look like a real M-car.
But it only looks that way.
they tune for M . its got quad pipes . I have x1m35 ; for entry leve suv M. I never had a suv. I call it beginner M performance for first time buyers
But the engine doesn’t
and priced amazing. i’m looking at it when my mini countryman lease is up.
@@Freddy_Confetti It’s not a BMW Motorsport engine. What do you think M stands for?
Im not an SUV fan but the design language on this car makes the new M cars look absolutely terrible. What a beauty this is.
Now We def need some battle videos with that Beast 💪
Just got mine. Traded my X3 lease for the X1M. Best decision ever.
Is this much smaller inside than the X3 ? And does it ride harder than the X3??
@@islandknight6105 Initially it felt smaller, which it is. The center console is totally different and the back is more noticeably smaller for passengers. Having said that, it drives so well, it’s fully integrated with voice commands (idrive 9), so much more fuel efficient and more pleasurable to drive. Downsizing with a four person family would be a challenge. I love it.
I test drove x3 m40i and this. I bought this. Feels like more room to me. And better tech.
It's crazy to me that piano black was ripped on for so many years and now BMW is just using it for their grill. 🤯
Yes a fully loaded X1 M35i creeps into base X3 price range, but I much prefer a fully loaded X1 M35i, which is still $10k USD cheaper than a slower base model X3 30i if spec'd with same options.
It’s funny that a small suv is now more M than the actual M’s. Looks and power not just power
Imagine if they stuffed the B58 into this car. I would sell a kidney for sure!
Rocket
Updated X3 coming this fall my friend
@@aritramk True, but a X1 with a B58 would be even more fun!
i have this car i wish they did but still love B48 but man the B58 is much more power
Great review, I am waiting for the X1 m35i now this month.. so excited. We choose limerock grey as colour!
Hope you enjoy it!
Over all package for an x1 m performance looks amazing and sounds amazing too
Agreed
@@SamCarLegion they give so many stuff on x1 to cater people to luxury performance oriented car like leather dash board I think not even standard on 3 series .
Thorough review. Thank you. 💙✌️
Glad it was helpful!
Sam, it seems like every new video I see from you, your production quality is increasing nicely. Not to say you ever had bad videos but they all seem to be a bit more polished than the last. The camera nerds recognize the dedication to the craft👏🏾
Thank you
@@SamCarLegion I've actually criticized past productions, but stayed subscribed due to my love of the variety of vehicles that you choose. Recently, I've noticed and commented the same: Your production quality has definitely gone up. And it seems like you listen to commenters and improve on processes. I'm really glad to see this and hope that you keep up the good work! I know that a lot goes into producing these videos and we appreciate it!
This little suv with a tune and hybrid turbo making 500 horsepower…oh my ❤
Easily
X3 m40i is a better option if you’re looking to tune, even a used one from a few years ago.
Wow the exhaust sounds amazing
From the inside? Not real.
Nice review. Would love to see some performance numbers in your review, like 0-60, 1/4 mile, etc. My wife is looking forward to hers, ordered this past March. She preferred/cross shopped this over the base Macan. Overall, I think BMW knocked it outta da park! She’s had several X3s, but wanted a smaller SUV this time…
Will do!
Please do the X2 m35i as well!
What is the color of this vehicle? Blue Bay Lagoon?
An ideal car in so many ways. BMW refinement, comfort, and utility with relative affordability. A more practical Focus RS.
Nailed it
What's the name of that paint color?
Nice video
Looks great
Is that the b48?
Yep
@@SamCarLegion nice thx
Fantastic video.
HOWEVER… you forgot to harp on one thing: where… the heck.. is the shifter??
Toggling actively between S and D while driving has been a signature thing about driving BMW’s - including dropping into Neutral as a primary functions (as do the bespoke M shifters).
Now suddenly you can’t do either because it’s all controlled by a knob you would never flip actively while driving???
Such a deal-breaker for this entire generation…
Interesting
Can still switch
Good looking car!
I live in PA USA and I 'ordered' a red X2 M35i like in the video, but 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 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.
nice mini JCW
That price is eye-watering 😮😮😮😮😮..
A golf r is a similar price.
I have this car... but on the dash there is an option to show Power... but it is not a MHT.. that is ok but it goes into in Minus battery charge... and sounds like a diesel when you accelerate hard.
Could have been an X1 M Competition… Damn!
bro stop leaning back when it launches it doesnt have 600hp
It’s not about power it’s the grip
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Just 312 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 stop exaggerating the launch
This M variant further bridges the gap between m performance and Full M and dilutes the capital M. You get the front grills in black, winged mirrors in black, M badging steering wheel, m badging seats…. Only thing missing now is M engine other typical M only goodies like M modes, tranny and chassis improvements
How does it compare to a mini gp3(if u ever drove one)
Faster and louder
@SamCarLegion want to get a GP3 but wanted a brand new zesty yellow cooper s
This thing is definitely something to look forward to. Great drive
Got my 2020 loaded x3 non m hud cognac leather 46k this price makes no sense.
Idk why they didn’t put the b58 in this woulda been way better
The M logo hasn’t been reserved for the M cars for a few now there are lots of M lite cars with the M badge
That’s called brand dilution.
@@F_JoeBiden-tu6cl shows how much you know. E28 M535i existed along side the E28 M5 back in 1985. E24 M6 was also called M635CSI before it was called a M6.
@@FrankW1029 LOL. M meant a very different thing back then. BMW didn’t put M on transverse 4 cyl shitboxes! Learn before you post!
@@F_JoeBiden-tu6cl it has always meant the same thing. Motorsport GMBH. just because they didn't do M-lite for a while doesn't mean it didn't exist.
@@FrankW1029 The car being reviewed is not produced by Motorsport GMBH.
do a drag race against Mk8 Golf R
Mmmm
No breakin period?
Already done
This thing rlly has a dual clutch and not the zf 8 speed???!!!
Honestly, this surprised me more than the quad exhausts!
You lost me 2-litre displacement.
Funny that you look like you are sitting on the car than in the car! Looks like not a great driver position for anyone over 5’9
For the size is great
Basically a x1m
Ummm…. VERY far from an X1M lol
Z4M owner here, I can promise you these cars in a world apart.
It’s just an over-branded X3 with a weight-to-power ratio equivalent to a 328i/330i F-series
It’s nice don’t get me wrong. But nowhere close to an M car.
Go drive an X3M and you’ll understand it’s nothing but marketing.
Fake engine sounds through the speakers? 😂😅 LOL...
wow
All modern performance cars have those
100% incorrect@@SamCarLegion
@@SamCarLegion not all but I bet it's far more than anyone realizes.
Must be really fast dropping your head like that 🤦♂️
Yep
We know BMW lies about the HP I have one and it definitely feels faster than 312/313
Those mirrors are TOO Big for that vehicle Almost as big as the headlights
The new x2 m35i looks way better and has similar front grille which is found to the X5 and x6 comp.
🤷my 2013 X1 35 xdrive was still a real bmw 3.0 t rwd based car with x drive 300hp over 10yo car
Amen. That generation of X1 was the best one BMW ever built.
Not only was it RWD-based but also built on a sedan chassis and raised, rather than a compact SUV.
So wish they would have repeated that formula and just modernized it.
😢
It looks like those four mini pipes go to the same muffler.
This guys BMW fanboyism is insane
Glad you liked your own comment 🤣🤣
Smoked one of these in my charger RT
It's just a good looking car (outside). Except that is a FWD platform developed with PSA as i remember. Is nothing about BMW, as the S3 is nothing about Audi and A-class about Mercedes. Could be fast or slow, it remains "a thing" which in my opinion isn't either horse or dog, but something between them 😂. It's just BMW LOGO offered for some woman's which knows about cars only brandname and colour.. Bmw WAS a PREMIUM brand, that's mean longitudinally mounted engine , not the transversally low cost peugeot 308.... but need for much more money destroys everything, the policy of unlimited GREED will send us in the end... at extinction.
Amen.
Wrong motivations riddled all over this generation.
They’re heavy, no shifter (WHAT!?), and FWD-oriented.
If you want that save yourself a few tens of thousands and go pick up a nice Mazda or Honda.
You’re getting the same formula here but paying a LOT more to get it.
You’re not wrong lol. I drove one and I knew I wouldn’t be blown as I own an M4 and X3M. I completely forgot this was FWD bias and pretty much a dressed up mini. It’s got a lot of features and styling going for it but fresh off the lot, it drove like half the bushings and chassis bolts were loose. Nothing BMW-like in how it drives. That’s the purpose I guess. Entry level, quick enough, luxury badge. Not going to get everything. Unfortunately the one I drove wasn’t for sale and I ended up buying an Audi Q3 for my lady. I hate the way the Q3 drives more than this😂.
@@mthusiastmedia9782 I do wish they would make an actual X1M car, RWD-biased AWD w/ 4 cylinders.
I’ve been holding on to my 2014 328i Touring and now looking dropping the next $20K into rebuilding the engine w/ forged internals rather than getting any of the G-generation cars, since it’s such a great daily driver and nothing BMW has put out since matches it on either looks nor driving dynamics.
I think with forged internals you really could have a performant, modern 4-cylinder that also has lower weight (~100lbs for 2 less cylinders).
Would take them back to the roots of what BMW’s were all about, having the cake and eating too.
I just think it would canibaliza their real M cars since what could you sell as a differentiator if not more cylinders?
@@mbradeaI hear ya. When I heard we were getting a new X1 and there would be an M version of it, I assumed that at least meant a B58. I got excited. Something tiny yet practical with amazing tuning potential. That’s exactly how I ended up getting my X3M. These came out as a M35 and although I love the styling and interior, I just can’t get with how it drives. It’ll probably make great power tuned but still won’t feel right.
To be fair it doesn’t drive terrible. It feels like what it is. A primarily FWD 4cyl with a peaky power band and a toned down DCT that’s still about as smooth as my M4 was before I did the GTS transmission flash. Better than the competition but after owning BMWs for the last 12 years, 3 non Ms and 3 Ms, I just realized this isn’t for me as a daily or weekend car or road trip car. Spent another 20k and got a X3M that blows my mind.
Hold on to that 328 though. Last of its kind.
@@mbradeaall the g-series models dominate the f-chasis except when comparing nimbleness/tighter handling between the f80 and g80, which the f80 has it better. But any other f-series pales in comparison to newer gen, at least from 2020-23.
This or the x2
X2
IOS 9 ??? 😂 idrive 9
OS9
OMG, again this Chinese tablet which is mounted with two furniture self-tapping screws, no fancy...
Whatttttt lol
Yeah these BMW dashes are out of control. Their designs I'm just not into, but at least they put some power in their vehicles.
Such an ugly vehicle
No bmw....fake xdrive and look inside the bonnet how the engine is placed...
Engine placement is irrelevant to the transmission & how much power is delivered to the rear wheels. It is rear wheel biased, not front drive slip then transfer power to rear. The engine layout only means it has a heavier front weight distribution.
@@phillm156 Since ever the engine placement has been the same….transmission and engine placement?I have not talked about it…
This is a “fake” xidrive….the x2/x1 is a front wheel drive….exactly the same than minis.
No same xdrive than x5, x3,m340,m240 for example….So, a fake xdrive.
Engine position is important for a car.
@@soneu234 engine placement is important only in weight distribution not power transfer. That’s entirely dependent on the transmission.
@@phillm156 I like to see a bmw with an engine placement as always…
I talked nothing about transmission.
@@soneu234 you can have transverse engine with 100% power to the rear wheels. An inline 4 would cut into the interior space, necessitating a longer wheelbase & vehicle.
That would make it an X3.
BMW continuing their "front end only a mother can love" styling theme. Yuck
