Ranked number one in subcompact SUV?s

Powerful and fun to drive! Cabin is extremely comfortable and filled with luxury features to include leather, heated seats, memory settings, navigation, backup camera, and eco features to save on gas and help the environment!

Love it for driving around town.

Love this car. Great value for the service and reliability. My growing teens don?t like long rides in it... it?s small. But perfect for me around town.

Worst BMW I ever owned..Highly overrated..

Brakes and pads replaced at 2832 miles..Dealership horrible in returning service calls. Interior very small..hate wheels and rims. Seats uncomfortable. Not a fan of this one

The Best Car I've Owned

I bought the X1 from the dealership as a demo/ courteous car, and it is the best car I've driven or owned. It has the same engine as the X3, but is near 1,000lbs less. Combine this with a RWD based AWD system and it is phenomenal in all weather conditions. The AWD admittedly isn't as good as my Subaru, but the speed and handling is far superior. I just hit 85k miles and plan on keeping the X1 forever. Only regular scheduled maintenance, no mechanical issues, very very reliable. I have had all work and maintenance completed by my local BMW dealership as well.

1 month in, love everything about it.

I bought a used 2015 BMW x1 x28i and I love this car. it has the ultimate package with Terra Dakota leather interior. Its absolutely beautiful. sits high enough up for me being 5ft9. heated seats, heated steering wheel, navigation, back up camera, back /park assist. Tons of stuff I haven't even figured out yet. Its probably not a car for a big family but its just me, my husband and our dog and its perfect. I also work from my car mostly so it has plenty of room for my work out of a trunk stuff and it gets great gas mileage, currently getting 35MPG for an AWD. It all makes me a happy girl!

Just right sized SUV

Didn't need a big SUV, Sedan was too small. The X1, is an excellent compromise. Plenty of sportiness, enough room for everything we need. A BMW in every sense of the word, comfortable with a touch of luxury as well

My Favorite Car Ever!

The hands-free system and the smooth exceleration are my favorite features of this car. The style, sun-roof, run-flat-tires, and keyless entry add to the car?s appeal.

Beautiful Lines + Power

This car is beautiful both inside and out. The sleek sporty look outside (Mine is a jewel-tone, sparkling, teal blue-wowzer!) and the saddle/black leather interior is top notch. All the bells and whistles inside except for cup holders, but thinking the Germans aren't big on drinking and driving! Smooth ride, lots of power, start/stop idling technology (which can be disabled) is a fun option. Even has heated steering wheel and heated seats! And, that panoramic sun/moon roof is the best!

Awesome crossover

Only had my BMW X1 for 30 days but live it so far.... For a 4 cylinder it's quick and responsive due to the turbo... Look forward to seeing how it handles the white stuff with the x-drive
