Australian, I purchased this car brand new with a drive away price of $49-K in Sept 2017, it's the 2.0-d Xdrive model incl Panoramic sun/moon roof, auto park, got to pick the 18'inch wheels I wanted (for free) metallic paint (free), heads up speed, auto braking, foot sensor boot opening tail/door, 5 way remote seats heated seats. It came with 0-km's on clock (not a demo). Actually I brought it for my wife yet I drive it a couple of times a week, it has really grown on me, absolutely love it.
I have a 2108 X1 sDrive28i that is a base model. It does have the heated seats and steering wheel along with Park Assist plus the all weather floor liners. It stickered for $36,540. I did get the dealership to activate the satellite radio for $475. It was essentially a 2018 1/2. Meaning, they moved the sDrive28i badging to the back hatch and they redesigned the front base seats a little. Not sure what else they did if anything. It's a great little SUV. I'm happy not to have all the extra tech junk in my car because it's less money to throw away on fixing stuff I didn't even need to begin with. My one big gripe is that the base seats are narrow. A bigger person might need the optional sport seats, but they'd have to go up one trim level to get them as an extra option after that. It performs beautifully and is a joy to drive. Most importantly, it's not a boring Honda or Toyota. It was worth the money. :)
The Park Assist is definitely useless "tech junk", but a sport seat, LED lights and a panoramic moonroof are a must, so does AWD. You can see the difference it makes in acceleration. 6.6 sec vs 6.3.
Base models are good value, but limited on lots, most are loaded with expensive options. But more option equal more things that can and will break after warranty
I have a 2015 X1 Xdrive28i and I absolutely love it. Drives amazing and for a affordable price. I have heated sits, gps antenna. I upgrade the screen to a 10.2” screen with CarPlay for my gps and music. If you want buy the base model and upgrade little by little when you can. #BMWLIFE
Yes BMW X1 is better than loaded CRV or RAV4. That’s the reason we have two X1 now. My 2019 has Collision and parking assistance and paid same price as 2018 X1. I made best decision by not going for RAV4 or CRV.
Honda or Toyota they won’t even let you bargain. They act like they have best cars but compared to BMW or Mercedes GLA their cars aren’t even close. I don’t like big SUVs like X5 so X1 is perfect for me.
Just traded my 2014 Ford Edge for the 2018 X1 xdrive28i. Only 18,000 miles on it. Love this car. Encouraging that you kinda did the same thing and that you're happy with the decision.
That either a 2016/2017 model. I have 2019-gage cluster looks completely different. 2016/2017 models have issues with transmission and engine mount problems. Do your research and or check the vin of the car for recalls and or known issues before buying a 2016/17 model. 2018 and up is more reliable! Anyway i love my X1. It's fun to drive, beautiful interior and visibility is great. Never had any issues and is a super reliable. If you dont need a giant car but still need a crossover, go with an X1 over the X3. Road noise isnt the best but im so used to it, that i barely notice it.
Man Do I appreciate this video!! Thank you. I am looking to lease either an Acura RDX or a Jeep Grand Cherokee....but hell, why not a BMW?!?! Any thoughts on the sun/moonroof option??
I'd definitely go for the RDX based on the fact that it's a much bigger vehicle, it's more luxurious, much more reliable, and the service costs much less
Thank you for this! I have a 320i and I love it but it no longer suits me and was wondering if I should look at the X1. I’m def going to check this out.
Nice review! I like the X1. I drive a 2017 BMW 1 Series and I really appreciate the fact that it’s rear wheel drive, can you tell that the X1 is based on a front wheel drive platform?
I have a 2018 x1 and the road noise is awful. It over powers my music . BMW has the worst tires…The seats are hard too. The body easily dents too. Sheesh I wish people would be more honest. Maybe some individuals don’t know the difference between good and poor quality
I just rented this car today the seats are the worst I have ever seen in my life extremely uncomfortable and the visor mirror couldn't get any smaller I hated the car it felt like a Honda to me

I feel the same. We bought 2018 X1, and 2019 X1. Both came with different options but both are worth money that’s paid.
Thanks for sharing! I’m test driving on this weekend!
Do you still have it? Looking to buy a used one . Any issues?
I wasn't sure I wanted to buy this car but now I know it's a BMW that smells like a BMW! Just what I was looking for. I'm convinced!
get a life

I own x1 and 3, all plastic is breaks and leaking after 5 years. End less money pit

I just traded in a 2012 Honda CRV and got a 2018 BMW X1 Xdrive28i. I loved my CRV but the BMW is on a whole other level.

@@CallAquaman72if you don’t mind me asking. How much do you typically spend a year in maintenance?

A BMW that feels like a BMW? No way
Right,😂😂😂😂
The supra is a bmw now. Why not a bmw?
Thank you for this! I have a 320i and I love it but it no longer suits me and was wondering if I should look at the X1. I’m def going to check this out.
That infotainment screen looks like the first iPhone of 2007
It has fantastic infotainment.

Everyone keeps saying interior looks cheap. But All bmw looks cheap. Go see every model and see for yourself
Great review!
How does it fit a infant seat. Does the front seat need to be positioned uncomfortably to fit the infant seat?
I have a 2018 x1 and the road noise is awful. It over powers my music . BMW has the worst tires…The seats are hard too. The body easily dents too. Sheesh I wish people would be more honest. Maybe some individuals don’t know the difference between good and poor quality
Neat & chic Decent review
Does this car have a digital speedometer?
Yes It has
You need a loaner more often!
Why’s my civic coupe trunk bigger than the X1 models trunk 😔
Since when 35k is a bargain? Also .... describe to me how a BMW should smell, uh?
Savage geese says the interior is tight and small.
I make these! 💪🏾
Cool
would you prefer it from the Range Rover Evoque?
World apart........ Don't go for RR
Take shots every time he says “Now”
I have a few questions. What Brand is it? How much is it? What model is it?
Toyota , 35k, RAV4
@@RickyTickyTV lmfao
Reliability. !!!???
is this a bmw?
🙄
This guy is crazy the seats are the most uncomfortable there is not a car In the world that has worse seats than this car
This isn‘t a 2018 Model
Learn about your subject matter before doing a review so as to not provide incorrect information,it is NOT a twin turbo it is a SINGLE turbo.
Correct. Twin scroll but single turbo
I like the body style, but the interior looks cheap compared to my 2015 X1
Derek Yamamoto bmw interior all look like crap 💩
No it don't
Are you serious?
I own this car, Seats are awful
I just rented this car today the seats are the worst I have ever seen in my life extremely uncomfortable and the visor mirror couldn't get any smaller I hated the car it felt like a Honda to me
That's why you should upgrade to the Msport seats 😉
Ok! We get it, it’s a cheap car! Do you have to mention it 100000000000 times!?
BMW i3 is a much better bargain. Such a low price for a electronic BMW
35K bargain??? Wait till your BMW starts to break down. Transmission, water pump, electronics, etc....BMWs are money pits!!!
💪🏽
X3 great more
Sup First!! 😎
How are you my friend?
Doing very good recently completed my cs degree
It's about the time to pay off my hard work 😇
