The best car I have ever had.

This is a excellent vehicle, comfortable and a great drive. The seat belts are difficult to reach and road noise is a problem. Everything else is good.

Love my new car!!

The ride on my new X1 is superb and I live the interior! The windshield seems larger and the “creature comforts” make all the difference especially for those of us who live in cold climates. In addition I live all the tools that help you park and being able to open the trunk hands free is a big plus!

Best Car I've Ever Owned

Everything feels solid, and well built. It is very comfortable, and in Sport mode has plenty of get up and go. It also has a Comfort mode, which is great for every day use; and an Eco mode which I don't use much (as it makes it feel underpowered). The iDrive system is easy to use and intuitive; and the warrantee seems to be better then most.

Very nimble and much more enjoyable than the X3.

I think it’s one of the best all around vehicles you can buy. Some are faster, some carry more cargo and some may be fancier but this has a bunch of all of them including being a luxury vehicle with excellent gas mileage. Plus the price is very reasonable. BMW hit a home run.

It takes time to understand the reliability

Good vehicle for regular commuting, I like it and it comes with all needed for winter driving as well as summer driving. Still need to drive more to get a good understanding of the car before giving high rating.

3 Driving Options

I love that you are given the choice to choose economy, comfort, or sport driving options. Sport uses more gas but has the best pick up. Economy is great for highway driving.

Worth every penny, beautifully designed & reliable

This car met my expectations. It has a beautiful interior design. Big sunroof, spacious, plenty of legroom in front and back. It also has a hidden compartment at the back to keep some valuable stuff. Smooth ride and great sound system.

Nice Small SUV

The car meets my needs. Rides well, doesn't have all the bells and whistles like my previous car, but it has enough. I would recommend this car if you are looking for an SUV.
