Exterior: great
Interior: huge letdown That deep center console....looks very low class. And the shifter...don't even get me started. If I was in the market for something like this, I would run to get the old model right now. I'm sure it will sell really well. But most buyers don't see the things that I see. A great car - but this is not a BMW. Let's hope they do better with the X3. |

Nope.
From this I can only deduce that the X1 will get a 4-cylinder M-Performance model: http://f20.1addicts.com/forums/showp...&postcount=348 http://f20.1addicts.com/forums/showp...&postcount=350 |

But most X1 drivers don't really care about that fact. In my opinion, xDrive should be a no brainer when you are having a SUV anyway. It doesn't make any difference on how the engine is mounted - the X1 is no racecar and there will be no situation where you will recognise a difference in real life. Interior looks great, but I am not a fan of the new gear shifter for auto transmission. That looks horrible and so much like an Asian car.

Looks great but that center console around the shifter looks horrible. It's too deep and that tall shifter is horrible.

Design wise looks a bit better although the old x1 was very well distinguished from the x3,x5,x6...as for the the exterior it looks better on the sides , appears sleeker , the interior has nice seats , the center console looks like from 1er,3er , display looks like its from x5,x6 , the center analog cluster still appearas dated , the only thing that is totally different from any other bmw is the gear lever...Engines are top notch , quality is surely excellent , I don't see an M version anytime soon? why is that?..imagine M50d in this x1?

For what it is, it absolutely demolishes the competition which is the Q3 and GLA250. Neither of those vehicles offers a total packages like the new X1. Its also better looking in my opinion. While dynamically its a step back from the old X1 which was basically an E90 wagon with RWD and more powerful motors, this new X1 will prove to be a valid entry model SAV BMW.
I like it. |

And it's hilariously naive for him to think that FWD are all dull. Obviously never driven a MINI. Hell that car is more fun than a majority of the RWD cars in BMW's current lineup.

I personally liked the E84 more. ONLY because it was more car than an SAV. That said, I do feel this will be a better fit for what people want. It is much more SAV like, has more interior room, much more updated. I will be considering this for my wife, who likes bigger SUVs.

For the right price, this is a great dog/beach car! Interested to see where MSRP and options will fall.

What's with the "fake" kidney grills? They look closed off in the pictures. Is this because the engine is mounted transversely or is this just a preproduction thing?
Correct me if I'm wrong.

I definitely wouldn't mind one of these to replace my ageing 4Runner. The trunk looks decently big too. Still wish they would offer more wagons, but this isn't a terrible alternative.

Looks a lot better than the previous gen, but it just blends in with the rest of the cheaper SUVs out there like the Hyundai Tucson/Santa Fe Sport. Driving the wrong wheels and seems underpowered. Shifter seems like the outcome of cost cutting.
Other than that, the interior is a lot better! And thankfully, the headlights do not merge in to the grille. |
