The BMW x1 is a great start but my experience
Just a BMW x1 and car started to heay up and need. Like the color but if you get it from a car lot they will not tell you what you be fixed or what was the problem before and to them it's just to sell the car- Purchased a Used car

Very good, with a couple of caveats
2020 X1 w/sport seats and convenience package, purchased in 2023. Positive notes: It's a true BMW: sure-footed, agile, and no shortage of power when needed. It feels remarkably glued to the road despite its small size. Handles as well as my former 3 series and is just as fun to drive. Storage space is good. Ergonomics are good- Purchased a Used car

Drives and Feels Premium
Smallest SUV in the range and it still drives confidently. Plenty of power and torque from the turbo 4-cylinder. A very refined ride. Interior appointments remind you that you’ve bought a quality car.- Purchased a Used car

I like my car power and style
This car meets all of my need, enough power good fuel economy. Little noisier as I like ( I find after drive X3 loan car), short beam is excellent, but long beam in the sky. Some feature is not as good as 2013 X1, bottle holder in the door much worse, bottle fold down. Less power than 2013, both models are xdrive 28i.- Purchased a Used car

Most beautiful and comfortable car I’ve owned
This car is not only beautiful but very comfortable. Easy to drive and reliable. It has everything I’ve ever wanted in a car and very economical. Only 4 cylinders! It had the right features... mini SUV looking with a sun roof. 4 cylinders... pretty & fancy looking. So far... my personal best car I’ve ever owned.- Purchased a New car
