I'm assuming the DCT is for fuel economy but surprised with your comments on the tranny. I daily a Hyundai Elantra GT N-Line with their 7spd dry DCT which is known for being not great but I would still take it over any conventional auto I've driven (including the '13 X3 35i I used to drive)

Seeing the vid for the first time. At first I was turned off by the squeeky voice but decide to listen/view anyways. Gotta say it's a great video, well spoken, well edited and well reviewed. Keep up the good work. I'm in the market for an X1-M and have watched plenty of videos to make my choice.

I had my brand new X1 M35i for a total of 6 weeks then got rid of it. Essentially it’s the same drivetrain and interior as the X2. I’d urge anyone thinking of these cars to go for a test drive before placing an order. The car doesn’t feel like a BMW to drive. Constant iDrive 9 issues are a pain in the neck. Roll back when driving off. Hesitation when pulling out. I changed to an M240i and couldn’t be happier.

@@CarswithMiles this has been part of bmw´s new marketing and design strategy, specifically in the x2,1 and 2 (gran coupe) series . These are entry level bmw vehicles and they wont get any meaningful M modifications, it´s all about having a sporty look, ie M badges, sport seats etc. That´s why you´ll see these getting those extra aesthetic options, to attract customers to these otherwise dull ¨performance oriented¨ entry level cars. The reasoning behind it is that something like 90% of customers buying these entry level bmw´s are 1. not buying the top trim and 2. didn´t even know/care the car was rwd in the first place.

BMW is far superior to Audi and Mercedes-Benz within the same price range and options-that's a fact. I currently own a 2022 X3 Competition and a 2022 BMW M4 Competition. Both vehicles are top-tier in performance and quality. I consider them sports car killers.

I live in PA USA and I 'ordered' a Vegas Red X2 M35i with every available package and option. Almost looks like the one in the video, but with different 20" wheels. A bit over 60K USD and what I thought, given all the hype, was a bargain. Shifted down a notch from my fully-equipped X3 M40i. Ordered early December 2023. No information available on its build and delivery status until early May, when my dealer informed me that the model (?), my configuration (?), any X2 (?), would NOT be provided to customers in the US. No information from BMW area or corporate reps as to the reason. I checked dealer inventories from Boston to LA and found only a few low-end "lot cars" - mainly non-Ms, a few half-equipped Ms. Except the one in the video. Does anyone know what's going on? A flaw found at the last moment? Baltimore? Robots on strike? Well, if I order another Bimmer. it'll be a 2025 X3 M50, so I can go down to my home state and pick it up. No ocean to cross. But now, given this review, maybe the right thing happened by fate...

How can you not understand what BMW is doing here? They are targeting the X1/X2 to a younger market (first time buyers). What does the younger market want? Cool factors. This is their first BMW so all of the traditional things don’t matter. Real BMW enthusiasts on the other hand won’t look at this at all. They’ll instead wait on a real M model, like the upcoming X3M. Edit; also you didn’t notice that the X1/X2 does not run the same iDrive as other BMW’s. It’s iDrive9 (which is slower, confusing, I know) made just for the X1/X2 only. Other BMW’s are running iDrive8 or 8.5.

Not really, you get what you pay for! Don’t miss the final outcome of the whole exercise? remember, what you’re getting here is exactly, and precisely what you’ve ordered, Will be built with extreme quality and exacting standards of course. Not to brag, but I’ve owned six BMWs, four of which I was able to drive on the autobahn in their natural habitat. Nothing like it!
