The most comfortable car I have owned.

I got in love with this car, when I drove the same model, as a loaner car to San Diego. This is the most comfortable I have ever been driving a car on a long trip. The car has plenty of room to relax your legs specially on long trips. It has a double compartment in the trunk where you can fit extra luggage. I really love this car.

Have only had the car for a couple months.

I have only had the car for a couple of months so don't have a lot of experience with it. Car seems reliable. Handles corners like no other car I have owned. Starting to go from a complete stop seems different from other vehicles but think its something I just need to get used to. The information screen lacks compared to other vehicles but is still good. So far we are happy with the car. Love the gas mileage. We do mostly city driving and are getting an average of 25MPGs.

Limited Edition Package 2018 X1

Been driving the car for a few days now and fall in love with it the more I drive it! I love the Parking assist! Its CRAZY what technology can do nowadays haha! Overall, very comfortable! I wish they made back window a but wider and I’m not to fond of where they placed cupholders but other than that, no major complaints!

Great value for a Bimmer compact sport-ute.

Surprising amount of cargo space, ?peppy? engine and excellent visibility. Fuel economy is fantastic for a sport-ute. Styling is contemporary. Looks great in dark colors with 18 or 19 inch wheels.

BMW X1 saved my husband?s life!

Recently, my husband was involved in a serious MVA, a seven car disaster in which all cars were totaled. If not for the high quality of BMW there?s no way he would be alive today. Even the insurance adjuster could not believe he walked away from the accident. Thank you BMW for saving my husband,s life!

Great Performance Vehicle

The design of my new BMW X1 is great. The SAV drives smoothly and handles like a charm. There interior is spacious and roomy. My child loves the fact that the backseat is not elevated like my previous vehicle , therefore, she has plenty of head room. The back cargo area large and can be expanded with the folding rear seats. Overall, this is a great vehicle!

Peppy little car that?s a pleasure to drive.

I?m very happy with my new BMW X1 purchase. The car is very responsive and peppy to drive. Although a subcompact, it?s got ample head and leg room in both front and rear seats, and a surprisingly large cargo space. Also looked at the Audi and Mercedes competitors in the subcompact niche, but liked both the fit & finish as well as driving experience of the X1 better.

A very quiet ride

The front seatbelts are difficult to engage. The sound system is excellent. The tire pressure monitor system lacks the metrics to disclose the actual status.

Great car

Big enough to get things done and small enough that I feel like I am not in an SUV. Very comfortable and great on gas!
