Kind of expensive for what you get, no? And with a FWD platform is there anything "BMW" about it that justifies a higher price compared to the competition? I don't see a competitive advantage on this one.
Why not get a Q3 or a GLC/K... |

There is nothing out there crossover wise that drives like the current X1. Whoever claims different hasn't driven the lot I bet.
What bugs me truly is that the old one is significantly faster than the new one, and most likely handles better. But this is better value for sure, mine was $42k and has far fewer goodies. I guess we'll see what the lease rates will be next year. If not I'll lease second hand a nice E84 M sport with the N55 engine, that's a proper little rocket.

Beautiful Crossover! Its design is the most beautiful, even very top of X3, X4, X5 and X6. You definitely have to buy a X1, sporty and elegant.
I desire and want a X1. But where is the M-Sport package X1? Where are the color option Estoril Blue or Silver Platinum? Last edited by Pure; 08-25-2015 at 02:18 AM.. |

Looking FWD for the FWD to get this for the parents as the next BMW present
Also -- does anyone know if we'll have this in sDrive diesel format? I'd be interested in that.

Totally agree. I hate their 2016 colour range. Ordered mine in Platinum Silver, which looks like is not available in the US. Last edited by KPD; 08-25-2015 at 06:43 AM.. |

Haha of course the M DCT is king, and I didn't use switcher as a word for transmission, I used it as a lack-of-a-better-term for gear selector. The physical stick. No doubt the M DCT is ahead of the 8ZF, transmission wise, but I like the gear selector (switcher) more on the ZF.

the last generation X1 drove better than the F3X 3-series.....this generation will likely drive worse than a Toyota Rav4.....the details here are all cost cutter and cheap-ish. Also gone is the fantastic E8X hydraulic steering.

X3 xDrive28i $51,445 Code: cv45hfpu xLine Metallic Leather/Wood Trim Cold Weather Lighting Premium Technology X1 xDrive28i $44,245 Code: cv4lop3c Metallic Leather/Wood Trim Cold Weather (Xenons included) Luxury Premium Technology That's a $7,200 difference. The X3 is a little bigger, and a little nicer. It's up one model in the line-up, so that makes sense. We're at the end of our lease and examining pricing on the entire line-up, and the X1's pricing is strong when you start dipping in to the options. Yes, there are some items that simply aren't available (heated steering wheel), but there's also quite a bit of savings on the table.

I am more than willing to give the new one the benefit of the doubt, I'll go drive one as soon as practical. It even comes with a space saver reserve, that is proof BMW is listening to our complaints.

a no line x3 in alpine white, ZPP and ZCW is 45745 (which is all most people want). tack on navigation as a standalone option for 1950 if you wanted and its 47695.

love how folks say a RAV4 will drive better! so far every review I've seen(though there are very few) love the way it drives. you think BMW was just going to mail it in when everyone is watching this switch to fwd?? does a Mini drive like a Corolla? no it doesn't. so why would this drive like a rav4....or crv or sante fe or any other wallowing crossover. it will probably drive similar to a q3 or tiguan but better.
