I sat in an X2 last time I was in Munich at BMW Welt and it was too snug for me. How it drives I'd imagine it isn't bad considering BMW puts so much emphasis in the driving experience. I'm not too into its looks. It almost feels counter-intuitive to make a somewhat large vehicle so scrunched and anti-roomy. I'm very intrigued about how an M35i 2 liter car will perform though. If this four banger screams and gets nice mpg then the cramped ride might be forgivable.

Does anyone know the lease rates for November?
And are the lease rates for the M35i the same as the regular x2? Lease rates for the 2019 X2 along with current incentive to the lease thread would be awesome If you price out a 2018 and a 2019 X2 with the pricing guides the M35i is a steal. Basically for 2019 you get the M35i for the price of a well optioned 2018. Looks like for 2019 the PDC, CP, and driver assistance stuff is now standard. Makes my X2 options 46,825 regular X2 vs 52,620 M35i. That same spec for a 2018 regular x2 ended up at 51,xxx. Interesting. Hopefully the lease rates are good and BMW gives us some Holiday Cash |

For me at least, I have a much more positive opinion of the X2 and especially the M35i when you think about it as a Golf R or Focus RS type of vehicle rather than a SUV or SAV or SAC.

SAV, crossovers, whatever you call them are driving global car sales. BMW would be suicidal not to segment the bejesus out of the market and take sales from the Q1, Q3, T-Roc, you name it. Why are people questioning this car's purpose when the deadliest competitors - including the 500L and the Macan simultaneously - are selling like gangbusters, and the X2 itself is getting great reviews? Is it just "internet fundamentalism"? |

For example, I like the 3 series. (That's why I'm here, not trolling for shit on an Audi forum somewhere.) I like the 3 touring too, as the extra space is useful. However the roads in Britain are pretty bad, and often not suited to BMWs which are developed in a country where the roads are generally a lot better. And having bent several alloys and replaced countless strut mounts, LCAs and lollipops since 1990, I want a tough car with bigger wheels able to soak up poor surfaces. Something like the X1 or X2 (same car, your own personal choice as to which one) does that better than a 3 Touring. The popularity of crossovers in the UK is partially attributed to this. Of course in the end i took neither, but a 2 series and a cheap crapper for £1000 for dragging stuff around in. I leave the crapper outside the house for it to be keyed and kicked . |

Had a loaded X2 as a loaner for a week. Was a shockingly good handling car for what it is. Actually looking forward to trying out an X2 M35. People should reserve their reflexive hate until they actually drive one.

Better get it in black or something. Macan has a much cleaner look.

Most aren't seeing it. At least those of us who grew up on the smaller lineup of 3's, 5's and 7's plus TRUE M cars and special runs of 6's and 8's. And therein might be the issue we debate. I'm wondering if the car has more appeal to a younger segment.

Not offered anywhere apparently. Have to go for 3 series or above vehicles for I6 I suppose?

That is unfortunate. To an outsider who has been a loyal client of BMW since 96, it feels like BMW wants to appeal to everyone. And that's not usually a good approach.

I looked at X2 and X1 the other day for a potential next car for my wife and baby boy on the way. I don't get it. The X1 has so much more room. Granted I don't get America's fascination with SUVs in general

For all the "purists" mongering about why did BMW build this, why wouldn't they? Crossovers and SUVs are ruling the sales market right now. Besides the 2 series, what other small car does BMW even make anymore? The X2 is small, fun and quite different than everything out there, in a great way. Just go drive one, then comment. Here's my demo X2- Last edited by bmwpedro; 11-01-2018 at 12:00 PM.. |
