2017 BMW X1 Unboxing - We Found The (Almost) Perfect Luxury Crossover

[@aryanahmed3301]

I really feel that BMW has done a real neat job with the X1

[@carbuzzcom]

Oh yeah, without question BMW did a nice job here. But the previous X1 was cool because it wasn't so, well, richy suburban soccer mom with a vodka habit. Point being, the first gen X1, despite being less room inside, was more fun to drive and geared more towards enthusiasts as opposed to the mainstream.

[@GoHabsGo-db7cb]

43 k and they give you a 6.5 inch infotainment screen? How about making the larger screen standard for that money.

[@doogcat]

i actually love love this car for myself and im in the market always wanted a BMW and this is the year for it

[@XDMIIIIIIIII]

Did you?

[@boomshaker27]

CORRECTION: Sport setting in the X1 does not tighten up suspension. Also, the M suspension is not standard in the X1. The vehicle your showing does not have the M Package.

[@mujjuman]

first video i've seen of yours and im impressed. subscribed within 30 secs. loved ur intro

[@ometofu]

Just watched your x5 review. I think this looks better. Equip with AMG package and awd. It might be better buy than x3 or even x5. The back seats are awesome

[@spiltrut]

Amg package?

[@guyr7351]

Problem with BMW is that due to the numerous options available it’s almost impossible to get a standard spec car. So you go test two 2nd hand cars and they can seem totally different even though in theory same original spec. Front wheel drive to be used on smaller BM’s 1and2 series based but not on all other models. Hope to be picking up a 2019 X1 diesel this weekend. X drive so predominantly FWD but 4 wheel when needed

[@CodyAsh]

Nice car. Dull review. Sounds like you record some audio in studio so you can write out a script ahead of time. If you were live reviewing on a GoPro I'd understand.

[@sunilvarmadatla]

I own 2016 BMW X1. 0-60 in 6.4 sec... It has more interior space than any other SUV in this segment. The only downside is Road noise because of s**t Pirelli Tires.

[@carbuzzcom]

Yeah, I've heard from a few others about too much road noise due to the tires. Have you thought about replacing those tires?

[@dhui777]

The road noise is really too much on freeway at times. The run flat tires may be the culprit.

[@shizzlette]

I have a 135i... lots of road noise from the original run flats, changed to normals and it's much better.

[@don-cw1yz]

You start the video saying this is the 2016 BMW X1, but then your headline says 2017? What is it 2016 or 2017?

[@kryptoknight.]

I just want to know if this has a softer ride than the Lincoln MKC.

[@myvillageandcityvlogs7839]

nice work.

[@monicar6991]

just brought one with Oster colored leather blue exterior

[@carbuzzcom]

Good choice and it's a great car. You'll be happy with it.

[@serviola3]

Great combination.

[@guyr7351]

Oyster?

[@bruh-bd1tr]

What about AWD? I live in Massachusetts 😫

[@TheSirUno]

X1's also come as AWD vehicles, built on an FWD platform (the version he showed was an XDrive version). This video might have been a bit misleading in that regard.

[@bruh-bd1tr]

Oh, Thank you. I thought it was FWD, it wasn't stating clearly if the car is AWD or a FWD so I was a bit confused. Anyway, thanks for clearing that up.

[@hoopenhanger]

What's the base price for the AWD?

[@MrRgarcia112]

Is this car reliable? is it better to buy it or lease it?

[@gabrielphillips8980]

I'm a Mercedes fan boy but I never thought BMW would make FWD anything.... this is the death of the "Ultimate Driving Machine" :(

[@abdullahwraikat4058]

Gabriel Phillips I'm the only who doesn't fight which is better like Audi, bmw, Mercedes like Germans are Germans nothing could beat them

[@gabrielphillips8980]

tru

[@carbuzzcom]

No, this isn't the death of the Ultimate Driving Machine. BMW has gone on record stating that the 3,5, and 7 Series will always remain on a RWD platform.

[@tanish_chandran]

Gabriel Phillips its still sporty

[@troop73oo]

The Model he's looking at is an xdrive model which is 4 wheel drive. But I agree with you, I don't like to see BMW's with front wheel drive.

[@jbi3022]

Great SUV

[@miguel3079]

you have any glk review

[@melvinjohnson7033]

Keep the paddle shifters. I'll take the six speed manual anytime.

[@TheAZchambers]

what if you have one broken foot and one broken wrist?

[@guyr7351]

Often the auto boxes are more economical theses days, in Europe the diesel models are big sellers and auto boxes work really well on diesels

[@MJ4cars97]

It's good cause it's basically a wagon...Still prefer the 3series wagon tho!

[@carbuzzcom]

Yes, it's essentially a taller station wagon. And yes, I also prefer the 3 Series wagon; it's just more honest.

[@guyr7351]

Weirdly though I think the X1 gives more load space from a shorter vehicle due to the FWD basic set up

[@joels5260]

Will it be available in diesel in the near future?

[@carbuzzcom]

Diesel? Not so sure. Plug-in hybrid? Without question, yes.

[@guyr7351]

Do BM export the diesels to USA? In Europe diesels hugely popular and BM make some superb engines, hopefully getting a 2.0 diesel X1 this week

[@sureshgaikwad9596]

Awsome car.... i love this......

[@TiMQiN]

All good except the fog lights! Raaah

[@uncledudley4265]

Even though the headlights are LED, the fog/driving lights are halogen.

[@guyr7351]

How often do you use fog lights? And I mean in fog not just like some do as extra illumination. For all the years I’ve been driving fog lights are almost the least used item on any car I’ve had ( UK based) and that includes when I was a sales rep on the road every day

[@gigis4582]

The X1 is made in 2017 he said 2016 😔

[@addievalentine8336]

M sport always looks better only firm ride unless if u add adaptive dampers.

[@carbuzzcom]

Yeah, the M Sport Package does make the cars look cooler, but the adaptive dampers aren't for everyone.

[@derrekb4501]

Dude stop pressing every button like a child. Really we get it.

[@carbuzzcom]

But pressing buttons is fun! Don't you get it?

[@tiltheendoftim3]

I thought it was based on the Countryman......

[@ajbeatz7406]

Who else sees what’s wrong with the title it says unboxing, like if u saw it

[@zulusmith]

Like the car, don't like the reviewer.

[@colorcodetrader4032]

Go for the AWD if you can. The FWD is rubbish.

[@Mustafa1998]

how many did bmw pay you lol? it's a good car ofc, but not best

[@econohound]

Yack-yack-yack.

[@afgrichi8]

very good video my friend. Sub ;)

[@carbuzzcom]

Thanks!

[@mujjuman]

hey man i like ur style and i like ur videos. my criticism of your videos, if you'll allow me, is that i hate the long pauses you have between sentences. that and i dont wanna see u move the seats around for a couple mins... it's kinda annoying lol. only reasons why i stopped watching ur videos.

[@cageybee777]

you buy an x1 because you can't buy an x5, because you can't afford it. but in that case you better off getting a lexux nx because bmw is going to cost you an arm and a leg to maintain after 4 years and it will lose more value than a lexus.

[@Bmw-pr4wo]

Ramin wtf ? People buy these cars according to there requirement. I own a BMW X1 because it’s a mid size SUV car, can go anywhere though I can afford an X5 but I would still prefer x1 because it fulfils my requirement.

[@caseymoore4759]

Yeah not everyone wants a x5 lol I won’t buy a suv bigger then a x1. Not because I can’t afford it but because I need more space then a car but want to retain a more car like driving experience. The x1 drives pretty stiff and nimble which makes it pretty fun to drive unlike lost larger SUV’s that feel like a boat. The turning radius is even better then a smaller car like a focus etc. there are plenty of reasons people would pick this over any larger suv.

[@hoopenhanger]

This looks like a used car.

[@adrianxxxx36]

Do not buy very low quality and very poor service. I owned X1 3.5 years actually BMW should give me brand new car for free. Just could you imagine statistically I was 2 times per month to repair or replace. Haha this a empty batch.

[@caseymoore4759]

My 2016 x1 has 43k currently and hasn’t had a single issue except a hose that got a leak which was a quick fix

[@MrC72k]

Need to work on presenting, you're a fairly poor presenter
