The 2024 BMW X2 M35i xDrive Is The Sleeker & Sportier SUV For Enthusiasts
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
The #BMWX2 returns for 2024 built on the same redesigned chassis as the boxier #BMWX1. The #X2M35i is the more performance oriented version with the new #X2 also growing in size and luxury this year. It also finally gets a design that looks more coupe-like and gives off more baby X6 vibes versus the tall hatch vibes of the previous generation.

This guy made it possible to shoot a video without anyone in the way in a crowded place. Spoke fast and clear. That’s why you have a million subs.
Right now I'm at the 2024 Chicago International Auto Show for the 2-day press event. I'm shooting reviews for the Vehicle Visionary KZread channel. While walking the floor this afternoon I saw Mr. Bey, as he was reviewing a vehicle (I won't say which), and I stopped him when he took a pause, introduced myself and asked him to take a picture with me. This guy was SO gracious and polite to me and took the picture, and took time to chat with me, even though I was interrupting him. He's a gentleman. Thanks for the picture Mr. Bey 🙂👍.

I absolutely love the look of this car. My friends here with me agree. I think this car will be a WINNER for BMW, especially for the price and for all you get.

We currently own 3 BMWs. An M850i GC, a Z4 M40i and an X5 50e. I have to say I adore this little X2. Might just get one for tooling around town.

Thanks for the nice preview. Congrats on one million subs.
i almost bought the first gen as a daily last yr. but wanted to wait to see what gen 2 was gonna be.
I feel like BMWs get tackier each year. The previous M5 CS is probably the best looking one i've seen in recent times.
that type s in blue back there yummmmmmmmm
I got a question , I went to the dealer and the panoramic roof doesn’t open up as a sunroof/moonroof
Like this new updated coup version. Reminds me of baby Lambo suv
What happened to the halo DRLs? And why does the rear look like a Chevrolet?
I'll have to see it in the metal. I'm not excited by the pictures.
X2 looks good in this color
One of the best looking bmw suv. I would actually prefer this over the x4 (in terms of looks)
I like it! I need my roof to completely open tho☹️
Looks perfect for me @ 5ft 2” 🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️
OMG!!! I definitely love the color on this SUV.
Vegas Red is beautiful.

I first saw this reviewed in a matte blue and thought the styling looked clunky and awkward -- but the red really does wonders making it much more sporty.
Nice, they did a great job with X2, it has come a long ways from when they first came out with it and was selling them, thanks for the video. The rear end with the spoiler and taillights looks like C7 vette in my opinion.
Nice
Finally better back light
Just when I thought they couldn't make the front end look anymore ridiculous, BMW comes through to prove me wrong
Will u be testing this soon ?
they just brought back the 2014-2019 3 series Gran Turismo... they never should've gotten rid of it
I remember when 35i used to mean the car had the 6-cylinder (like a 335i sedan)... now it means an upgraded 4-banger? I know the 6-cylinders have moved to the 40i designation, but still.

It reminds me of the Mustang Mach E , still looks good. Never was a fan of the x2 but I understand why this has to be made. I love the car now ….
Will u be testing the 2024 bmw x1 m35 soon?
The rear reminds me of a 2004 mazda 3 sedan lol
Great review of a car with a 10 year Outdated powertrain. Welcome back to 2014.
No rear window wiper/washer and no spare tire. Same lag/lurch from a normal stop/start as regular X1. Same engine as X1 M35i. So, basically another X1 without a rear wiper and less cargo room.

Yea biggest complaint about my 2018 X1 is the start from stopped feeling. I was hoping they fixed it on this new generation. No spoiler at the top of the X2 window and wiper will be my reason I stick with X1. The sun and hail in Texas will destroy the X2.
absolutely do not like the floating center with no hidden storage. That's a big miss if you ask me.

I thought the same thing. Then I took a minute to ponder who this car is for: Mid level manager. Late 40s early 50s. Recently divorced. Kids are grown and hate dad. Needs to “show off” at company events. So, that large area is for the purse of his long-term “escort girl” or, equally likely, the young intern secretary that he has woo’ed by throwing her some money here and there. And yes. He bought that gawdy purse. And paid too much for it.
I saw this in person today in Frozen Portimao Blue. Definitely looks a lot nicer in person than on videos/photos. Same as my G87 M2 - videos/photos don't do it justice. The interior is really nice as well.
This is awesome, i hope the paint looks this good on the production model
Kinda off topic but did nissan unveil anything new?
Nice! , are these carmakers trying to steer you into electrification for ex not have a traditional retractable roof ?.. off the grid here, so I test driven a BMW i5 M60 yesterday while getting an oil change on my 23 x3M40 , and the dealership salesman was trying to get me to break my current lease to put me in the M60 which I am thinking to upgrade, but I’m not sure. Question does anyone know how much to insure a luxury EV vehicle ? I don’t particularly like electric vehicles , but I did enjoy that M60
The Buick Envista is better looking but definitely not as nice inside… lowkey Buick should make an Envista GS with twin clutch AWD… to give BMW a run for its money
Love your channel! This totally looks like a cheap Chevrolet, at least in video.
I love the style of that. For me personally I stuck with the X1 for the space practicality. My X1 M35i is somewhere between the factory and the boat, so maybe a month out. This new X2 would look amazing in so many flashy individual color choices as well but that red is great on it. Note that the price difference between regular and M versions is not quite as much as it seems. At least for the X1, the M25i version adds a handful of things standard that are optional or in packages on the X1 28i. For instance, the HK sound and m sport brakes (and 19" wheels) are standard on M35i
I do love the color but this is NOT for enthusiasts. Front wheel drive based and a Mini 4 cylinder does not a BMW enthusiast model make. At this price, buy a used X3 M40i.
So a mazda??

Funky but I like the looks a lot

It looks very nice as a city car!, just loved it!
Nah, I'd go with the Cape York Green!
Bro what the, without the grille and badge I would've thought it was a new honda cr-v
PRICE ??????????????
I think it looks great overall the design, but the rear is a bit controversial to me being honest.
Yeoo the back actually works 😍
I’m just waiting to see a prelude , I know you’re gonna have it first from anyone
Looks better than the old one!
Loved my X2. This is a major contender for my next vehicle. I have an 2022 X3 M40 which is wonderful, but too big for me. Knowing that the new 2025 X3 will be larger, not sure I want another.
A 1 second improvement to 60 doesn't seem like a worth while upgrade considering the higher price vs the 28. Might be better to go with the base engine with M styling package. No one is going to track this so I doubt you will miss the larger brakes and extras that go with the m35i.

I find the ~30i level of power is often the sweet spot with BMWs. Unfortunately in the UK we're only getting the 20i (170hp 1.5L) and the 35i so there's a pretty massive jump in performance (and price) if you want a faster one

@@stevelouie5928 Definitely enough power for a daily runabout. I had a '21 320i for a few months and that felt perfectly adequate with only 184hp. Got over 50 mpg UK (that's over 42 US) with ease on the motorway which really impressed me, although apparently the 330i can do just as well considering its basically the same engine & gearbox. Great cars!

BMW didn’t start it with the X6, Infiniti did with the FX
@kevinW826
4 ай бұрын
If you compare the FX, the first generation really didn’t have a coupe like backend as it had a slightly curved vertical roofline and tailgate, like the Buick Enclave SUV. The second generation FX released in 2008 had a more curved incline roof and tailgate, but it was still not as drastic as the X6. The BMW X6 was released in 2007, that was a seriously inclined roofline and tailgate that was more noticeable than the FX. So therefore what he is saying is correct. BMW was the first company with an SUV with a coupe like backend.
Riddle me this…..who’s got $60k for that car ? If you’re in that 2 percent market , have fun with it.

This looks like it could've been a full m with all the things it comes with
Have BMW designers completely lost their senses? Complete and utter garbage. Tacky gloss black everywhere, cheap looking tacked on screens... uninspired wheel designs, the only redeeming element would be the front seats. Another throw away lease machine.
Looks like a GM product from the side

I like the exterior styling of the X1/2 but the interior for me is terrible.
Looks far better than the previous generation!
Ooofff...nope!
I went to the auto show twice, both times this thing was getting tons of attention.
I applaud bmw for trying to make a distinctive looking auto when everyone else has the same jellybean SUV shape pioneered by the X6. But... this is not an attractive or practical design.
Why is BMW trying so hard to stray away from the greatness that they are known for? Also that center console looks cheap AF.
BMW snobs aside, who think how dare their beloved perfect car company sell anything other than a straight 6 RWD car, well this generation looks like they re-skinned a Polestar2, no thanks, I'll take a barely used previous gen M35i for under $30k and it's as simple as a VW for maintenance, it has the same best FWD based AWD Haldex system, which means you only need one extra Haldex oil change every 40k compared to any other basic AWD car out there.
