Special thanks to our Patreons for their support of the channel! X2 or GLA?
Iam using a gla now moving on to the x2
I love the looks of the GLA the X2 is hot looking in the front but the rear is so not me
great job. When you were frustrated with the car shifting for you, try this: Pull back on the toggle shifter a 2nd time (first pull = D, second pull = M). Then, it will do it's best to obey your shifting choices, while always reserving the ability to downshift or upshift to protect the powertrain, if you forget to keep working the paddles.
Nice pace, good facts about this as well as comparison to predecessor and competition.
And, like others, the profile really gets me as an old SAAB-o-phile from way back. So excited for this updated model.
The MINI-ness of it? BMW was already using UKL2 for years before the first Mini based on it, the F54 Clubman, came to market. It's a BMW platform that trickled down to Mini.
Love the old 1990s Saab-like profile. I own a 2022 x2 m35i and was impressed with my test drive of the new version. ordered new m35i in storm bay with red interior and 21 in wheels.
Only thing is I wish the rear end sat a little lower.
First time viewer and Great review Matt. Really great insights. I am a lifelong non-gear head Beemer driver. Almost exclusively a 5-series middle aged business man driver. I did test drive the new X2 just last week as well and was pleasantly surprised. With my wife in a '22 X3 (thus covering us for cargo and size when needed), am I crazy for thinking about a fun X2 to replace my '22 530i? Really feeling inspired to have a sporty SAV. Sort of a larger sports car. Was considering the base model 2.8 with M-sport package added as I don't think the full M is warranted for my primarily commuter and local driving. My only question - which you do touch on in your video - is how you think the ride will be for 2-4 hour highway drives along the northeast I-95 corridor? To me, the 5-series has always been a "sportier Cush" to their Benz equivalents. Do you think my 60 yr old body will get uncomfortable at all for periodic, slightly longer drives? Open to comments from all, and thanks again!
Good question - the 5series will certainly be more comfy and more refined. You’ll notice the price difference in the cabin with the X2. It’s good for what it competes against but against something like a 5 series it’s going to fall down on comfort. But of course everyone’s experience is unique so just be sure to get some seat time in the X2 before making your final decision👍
I love the design
It’s nice!
My lease is up in a few months, I think I found my next one. Thanks for this video!
Glad you liked it 👍
So funny that this video popped up Matt. I just test drove this vehicle today. My lease is up in a few months 😏
Iiinnnnntttteresting 😏
Great review! 💪🏿 🫡
Thanks!
An outstanding review. Thanks. My fully-equipped red "Baby X6" that was "ordered" back in December should be delivered to me here in PA USA in a few months. Hopefully! It'll replace an X3 M40i which might have been replaced by an X3 M or higher... but upon the recommendation of my cardiologist, I opted for the X2 since it's more appropriate for folks in their 80s. The car looks and sounds great, it's got plenty of space for groceries and stuff (but maybe not a wheelchair), and it is sufficiently lux and techie inside. (I heard that there's no interior leather due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.) Plus, at just over $60K, it's a steal compared with most competitors, like a M-B AMG. The one flaw for me is that a Class 2 trailer hitch isn't an option like on my X3, so I'll have to find another means of pulling my Harley trailer. Hopefully, the car will be here in time for the MVasion event down in TN and NC, where it would be great fun to take it on the Tail of the Dragon or to cruise the Cherahola Skyway. Yes, indeed. Bimmers = Lots of Fun. Thanks again for the positive review.
I’m not crazy about the design, but the rest of the car is what I was looking for, so I have one on order in Cape York Green. I would have gone with dark blue, but this would have been my fourth consecutive dark blue BMW, so I decided to get out of the rut. The car is built and is presently waiting in Bremerhaven to get on a transporter ship.
I saw one at the bmw performance school in Greer…I kinda want one LOL
I actually like this design. Love the interior design, rear spoiler & quad pipes! Car sounds great too. I prefer BMW design over all of its rivals… Ordered a new X1 M35i for the misses just yesterday. She loves it - she picked it over the X3 M40i. She preferred the much smaller footprint and the lower front hood that is easier for her to navigate in a smaller SUV. You sound a lot like the UA-camr, Eat, Sleep, & Drive, lol! Nice review mate.
thanks! glad you liked the video, and hope your wife is enjoying her X1!
the logo being the trunk release is somehting that exist in x4 some while ago
The logo boot release was in the mark one X2 from 2017 !
I wouldn`t mind driving one of those around town. And that comes from an M850i, X5 50e and Z4 M40 i owner.
High praise 👌
I had an X1 as a loaner, and I thought the ride quality was pretty bad. Did they actually make the M35i version softer? I find that hard to imagine lol.
depends
from factory m sport trims are stiffer but the sweet spot is with the adaptive suspension that can soften it up
100%
Front fascia looks awkward, with that huge blacked out spindle grill beneath the kidney grill. Reminds me of Lexus or Toyota.
I know its engine is sound enhanced, but it sounds great! ✌️
It does 😎
Gotta say, I hated the design when it first came out, but it's kind of growing on me somehow...😂.
How does the ride quality compare to the Alfa Tonale? Is it firmer and busier?
Better than Tonale - feels more solid, the base x2 will be a little softer, but even the x2 m35 with the adaptive suspension is soft enough to be comfy 💯
Thanks Matt 👍.
Pero qué demonios tratan de hacer con las ópticas ? Horribles las de atrás por lo menos y las de adelante aún no me convencen 🤔
You get harman kardon instead of bowers & Wilkins 😂
Previous generation had the trunk release in the BMW badge ;)
😎👌
Front looks good. Exhaust looks great. Rear loooks bloated
I’m one of the first people to own one I love it!!!! 🥰
"Perfect shift" with fake sounds coming from the speakers 😂
True. I bought one and sadly I noticed later
I actually don’t mind the look
me neither!
@@dwnshft I fancy this
Man, I just don't know if I like that exterior styling.
In terms of the design, I'm not a fan of how the new X2 looks. It looks too high off the ground and it could topple over if you take a turn too hard. The black trim pieces up front are too geometric and just don't fit with the overall design.
Topple over? Really? I'm sure BMW has done their testing.
@@991carreras3 Visually it looks like it could topple over very easily. I'm not saying it will.
It turned quick laps on the green he’ll. I have several M cars, including an M2 comp and an M Roadster, and this is not what those cars are. However, it’s a fun, quick, and capable vehicle. A great daily.
@@davidbarrett8451 I'm talking from a pure design and visual perspective, not a dynamic/performance perspective. I have no doubt that the X2 M35i performs very well and that it's a solid daily driver.
BMW M is officially dead. RIP
