I have driven my X1 S-Drive 18d for about 1 and a half months now. Started to notice my engine making a spinning sound, and my gearing is delayed especially when i slow down then it makes a loud noise. Car is brand new, can anyone tell me if this is normal?

the gears on my 23d are so delayed, takes a full 5 seconds to go from drive to reverse. then theres an issue with my interior light randomly turning on while driving? and the amount of chimes is insane

You forgot to mention the bad brakes. 100-0 braking distance is 38.6 meters... the worst in its class ! I read the relative comparative test ! It s a shame... since it s a beautiful car. It has a presence for sure.

I own the ix1 and it’s rapid and quiet. The 20” alloys give an acceptable level of comfort. The range is not the best in class but ok for my needs. Voice control has worked well for me…I don’t miss the rotary iDrive control. It’s way more fun than a Mercedes EQA or Audi Q4.

I have had my X1 MSport for 2 months now and the mentioned issues are not problematic to me, i love my ride. I mostly use the voice assist to do most of the functions in the car even

So far, I’ve been very happy with my X1. I use the shortcut feature to access the start/stop function and others that I want to get to quickly. The personal voice assist takes care of many other functions so, although learning to use the screen and different apps was frustrating at first, once I learned my way around it and the tips and tricks that I learned from watching videos, I find the touchscreen is not an issue overall. Except for the fingerprints on the screen! I don’t like that. So far we’ve been getting about 38 miles to the gallon so we’re happy with that as well. After watching this video, it seems like several of the “problems” were a reach and petty. At least from my experience.

agreed nitpicking

I own a 2021 2.0d version and it's brilliant. Didn't want the new one as it's too wide for the garage . And mine returns up to 59mpg on the motorway at 60mpg. Harsh ride comes from buying the M Sport model. I opted for the X line spec and its ideal.

Had my fully loaded x1 for almost 3 months and the overall quality is satisfactory at this price point ($55k out the door); hell some of the soft plastics are nicer than my 2022 M3 that cost 2x! Guessing the base model is a big step down overall…Still don’t love the overcomplicated curved monitor and iDrive 8 but that’s systemic (thankfully my other car has iDrive 7). Agree on the powertrain, transmission (DCT really!) and fuel economy especially if you’re not mixing in highway driving but it’s fine especially in sport mode with manual shifting. Definitively not a 10/10 but it still remains a nice, practical, entry level luxury compact crossover that to me seems like a good value at this price point. Exterior startling is a BIG improvement especially with the M package with shadow line trim.

Somewhere agree, touch screen and voice commands are terrible, deactivation stop&go inconvenience at all! BUT! completely disagree with fuel economy! we have this x1 since November 2022 and I can say I’m shocked how fuel efficient this car is, it’s amazing, win a city average is about 8.3-8.7, when cruising on a highway around 125-130 he numbers are around 7-7.2. The car is roomy, very roomy, it’s actually bigger then x3 2022 inside, harman kardon sound is s as maxing Steering is great Acoustic comfort I’d say 8.5 out of 10 Strong brakes… huge trunk Great head light, the app works great 🙏🏼✌🏼👌🏼

I have owned my X1 S Drive 20i for nearly three months now and overall, I and really pleased with the car; it is refined, comfortable, practical (mostly!), frugal (I average 50MPG on long journeys) a brilliant motorway cruiser, has very proficient handling on country lanes and is happy in town driving too (except occasional hesitation when pulling out of junctions However, not withstanding the above, I cannot stand and am now beginning to hate what I can only describe as the stupid, impractical design of the centre storage area. You have to crank your hand in the most awkward way to extract anything from the trays below the floating armrest; the forward tray is difficult, and the rear tray is almost impossible. Even worse is a passenger cannot use the front tray at all, as the support for the floating armrest blocks access to it on that side. I’ve also noticed I have inadvertently scratched the plastic down the side of the floating armrest with my watch, when squeezing my hand down the side to get something out of the trays. The storage below the armrest lid is pathetic and of really no use at all; even worse, on right hand drive cars like mine, the lid opens in favour of the passenger, as BMW are too tight and/or lazy to re-hand it for the RHD market! The cupholders (at least those installed in the UK version) do not have sprung lugs to firmly hold a cup, can or bottle that has a smaller diameter than that of the cupholder holes, so they rattle around. I have taken to installing self-adhesive foam around the perimeter of the cupholder in order to mitigate this problem, on a £38k car FFS! My partner’s Hyundai i10 has far better cup holders! I obviously didn’t note these flaws during the test drive; instead, I was just wooed by the floating armrest and centre controls (which admittedly, work well and are convenient).

Exactly the same issues! I also hate the look of the larger curved screen, and essentially no analog temperature controls. They sold me on the center design saying its good to put a "purse" but it would barely fit a wallet! I put my camera there and I cannot grab it out of there unless I get OUT of my seat and tilt it sideways....

Agree with stiff ride quality however other misgivings are subjective and petty. I have been driving my new X1 for 12 weeks now.

Do you have the M model or antoher ? Ordinary suspension or adaptive ? What size of rims? (curious) ?

Hmm, a bit dissappointed with this walkthroug, especially around engine/transmission: How can you saay that the all electric ix1 for instance lacks power: Or the X1 xdrive30e with over 300 hp !?! Which powertrain did you drive?? And the Screen only is valid point, but why do you go through it twice (AC is integrated as well, which was sort of covered in the 1st point)?

Seems they have never even been insider a dealership - I did get into an iX1 at my local dealer the other day (just a bit two small compared with the iX3)

X3 seems to be the sweet spot

Does the loud background "music" help to tell your story? Do we need to be entertained with "music" because the narrator is less than expected. "AutoHell" could review its presentation and make changes so that the "drama" can be verbalized by the narrator and the excellence of the photography. WHY is the "dramatic" "music" played while the narrator is speaking? That makes no sense.

Why are they showing the iX1 in the video and this is mainly about the ice models.

You tell about the fuel consumption and show the electric iX1? Who cut this movie???

I agree with the comments on the voice recognition function, it's crap. I have to use manual input 99% of the time. I miss the buttons as well as the central controller on my previous x1.

what about the pros ?

The no idrive knob is what kills it for me. I do not like like the touch screen. I hated it in my civic and i hate it in my mom's porche. Touch screen is too distracting and in my X1, i have my system memorized so it id easy to use always!!!

These are too far-fetched... absolutely love my bmw x1 2023 m sport

well said

Huh on the acceleration? The X1 goes 0-60 in 6.2 seconds and the GLA 250 4matic and GLB 250 4matic are 6.6 and 6.9 seconds. The Audi Q3 takes over 7 seconds. X1 definitely outshines its competitors in terms of acceleration.

Mine only takes 3.3 seconds. But when my car is below 10% it takes me almost 6 seconds.

After a month, I have to say the seats are really uncomfortable. The Harmon Kardon stereo is marginal. The sport mode is great but stays in lower gears to long, winding the engine. I do get tired of the screen to do almost everything.

I use sport mode and paddle shift

I had the ix1 for 3 months, had to give it back, I couldn't stand the idrive8, touch screen was too frustrating, menu's and sub menus , no physical buttons, lane departure function has to be turned off after every re-start...it defaults to on!!! no idrive controller either. BMW wants you to use voice recognition....sorry, but I do not want to talk to my car!!! Got myself the X3 30e which still uses idrive7 thankfully, much happier with that, also its nice to have an actual engine again and the electric range is plenty for my needs, between 45-50kms

Exactly - who were the overpaid fools who designed the 2023 Xi.

Aside from the occasional 2 second delay from stop to go that drives me crazy, the useless center floating storage and the stiff ride, I think the X1 is a decent car for an entry level BMW.

This clip is so full of conjecture, generalizations and unsupported subjective claims. Worthless. Take the first point the BMX X1 23I has while the GLA 250 has only 208. "as one would expect" "can be unintuitive" "feel cheap" "may not provide" "lacking desired"and on on on.Thumbs down.

Made by Audi or Mercedes ???

The “problems” here are minor compared to this: When you stop the car while maneuvering to park or go into a narrow space, when you wish to move forward the car has a tendency to lurch forward a foot. Which, in narrow quarters, can be disconcerting at best.

Your opinion is important to us Sir.

This video is made by a Karen AI…i have the 28i version and is plenty powerful it zooms quickly to 150khp in no time…the touch screen, well hello you’re not in 1992 anymore, you don’t need to change the drive modes every 2 minutes, the start-stop feature you can add a shortcut to the touch-screen takes less then 5 seconds to turn it off…

Sorry think you are a BMW hater

In my opinion this is one of the worst cars ever made by BMW. It looks amazing, but its terrible quality, ride is horrible (stiff, sounds like it will fall apart running over a pothole), windows have a delay, no real power at all, drive modes don't do anything except change the gearing, autostop turns off the engine before the car comes to a complete rest. For something that costs $60k, it completely missed the mark and its clear that they cut so many corners. After just 1 month I was already trying to return it and will be as soon as possible. I would highly recommend looking at another car.

The inside of this car is designed very poorly I almost got into an accident trying to access my stop and start button and not to mention my navigation has stopped working it stays on the loading screen lack of power and the high price just does not make sense at all this car isn’t even practical. Tomorrow I am going to trade it in for a 2019 440i M performance. Stay away from this vehicle

sorry but I could not watch this, drama music, AI(?) over-layerd voice, 5.30 minutes could be 30 seconds as short informative video instead this unnecessary drama
