BMW X1 reviews

Total surprise with this car, came from 3 series m/sport 328i, so I was not expecting any sort of performance comparison, but what a drive! I'm sure the diesel is good' but not as good as this. Launch control on an suv, down shift revs compensation', even the 328i did'nt have that! I have had this vehicle for 6 months now, and my son asked how i was getting on with it, I said that I have'nt enjoyed a car so much since my Golf GTI mk2. The only thing I'd criticise is it's ability to cope with bad potholes, even on non runflats it can be severe. Can't wait to get in it again!

Now superseded by a new model, at least late versions of my model did not deserve the somewhat scathing reviews of the motoring press. It was strange how the most of the press also seemed to share the same opinions. I have owned many BMWs and this has been as satisfactory as any in terms of what it is intended to be.

Like the car very much, generally very reliable but somewhat disappointed to have to replace the differential at less than 40000 miles. Covered by extended warranty and very good service from BMW Santander.

A small 4x4 which is comfortable and roomy. The X drive is good kicking in when you need it. The diesel is economical giving 50 mpg on long motorway runs! A fun drive

SOLID RELIABLE ECONOMICAL REASSURING IN BAD WEATHER ESPECIALLY WITH WINTER TYRES FITTED. SUPER SPACE FOR LUGGAGE AND 5 PASSENGERS AND LOOKS GOOD TOO
