  • The BMW X1 may come in a small package, but it has sporty aspirations with a hint of luxury. The interior is based upon the 2 Series Active Tourer but, with added visibility in the form of a raised seat height. Does the X1 offer enough space however to outclass rivals such as the Audi Q3 and Mercedes GLA? Whilst it may have a sportier feel and therefore be more fun to drive, will the firm suspension sit well with passengers? Can it warrant its high price tag in comparison to rivals? Find out exactly what I think of the BMW X1 in this full in-depth video review.

    Curious question, the feature that allows you to fold the middle rear seat down (via pulling the strap from the back-seat as found in 1:09) ... does this come in the standard models or is this feature only available with the "reclining rear seat" extra add on?
    I don't care much for the sliding or reclining, but the middle seat being able to fold down is a game changer, especially for snowboarding, skiing and even fishing!

    The only thing missing in the review is the seats: I'm 176cm and 65kilos (so not big by any standards) and the seats are narrow and hard for me. Got a Passat as business car (I know, its completely different but the price tag is pretty much the same) and the seats in the BMW just hurt and don't compare on any level (i've got the xline with half leather sports seats or whatever it is, probably makes it even worse). Other then that, its a really, really good car and even the 18d (140hp) feels fast and really agile, handling is good and even a bit of fun. Engine much much quieter then diesel VWs. Tire roar a bit of an issue but you can get used to it. The interior looks small but you can fit loads of stuff inside. The onboard entertainment isn't cutting edge Volvo-type all-glass technology but its really easy to operate and does the job without being too obtrusive. Prefer that over the Volvo, honestly. Price isn't great: had Discovery Sport, Q3 and Tiguan on shortlist and this is small and expensive but the dealers just automatically reduce the tag price but aprox 10% which made it more acceptable (still more expensive then most competitors). A big benefit for me was no waiting time: in Central Europe there are loads of new ready-made cars across the specs range so you just choose the colour (blue is best for BMW).

    Great review again and looks a leader in the class for sure.
    I need some advice. Am looking to replace my VW Jetta sedan soon and I'm kind of unsure of the best options. We're a Couple without kids and rarely carry three at the back. I prefer a sporty drive without those boatlike bodyrolls around corners but generally am not a speed maniac on the roads, reserving pulling power on the highways or for the overtaking pass.
    My wife on the other hand prefers practicality and doesn't like Coupes or sports cars. She would prefer something reliable and with relatively low running / maintenance costs.
    Anyone can offer any advice re. possible options I could consider?

    I miss my BMW x1 Msport 2016 plate but did a mistake and decided to go and sell it. So i could go and get the JCW (John Cooper Works) Mini Clubman 2016. Only had the BMW for about 5months loved everything about my BMW X1 but only down thing i hated, was that when i drove it in snow it felt like it didn't grip the road properly and it started sliding but my JCW Mini Clubman in snow has way more grip and feels more sturdier in snow.
