Both of the X1’s only variants, the xDrive28i and M35i, are equipped with BMW’s curved display, integrating a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster and a 10.7-inch central touchscreen into a seamless setup. This display runs BMW OS 9, which offers more intuitive touch controls, enhanced voice interaction and support for over-the-air software updates, ensuring features like navigation and system settings remain current. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard across both trims alongside BMW’s Remote Services, which enable functions like remote door unlock, vehicle tracking and climate-control adjustments via the My BMW App.

Its standard suite of safety systems, under the Active Driving Assistant Package, includes forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning and steering assist, speed limit recognition and rear cross-traffic warning.
The M35i builds on this foundation with sport-oriented upgrades, including an adaptive M suspension and M sport brakes from BMW’s M performance division. Its interior features aluminum hexacube trim, a three-spoke leather-wrapped M Sport steering wheel and Harman Kardon premium audio. On the exterior, the M35i stands out with dark trim, an M rear spoiler and trim-specific 19-inch M dual-spoke wheels.
