2024 BMW X1 - Tips & Tricks

Looking for some helpful tips and tricks to get the most out of your 2024 BMW X1? Look no further! In this video, we'll take a deep dive into the features and functions of this amazing SUV and show you some of the hidden gems that you might not have known about.
First, let's talk about the convenient keyless entry and start system. As you approach the vehicle, the X1 can automatically unlock the doors for you, so you don't have to fumble with keys or remotes. And when you walk away, the X1 can also lock itself automatically, for added security.
Another nifty feature is the hands-free power tailgate. If your hands are full with groceries or other items, you can simply kick your foot under the rear bumper to open or close the trunk. This makes loading and unloading your cargo a breeze.
When it comes to driving in inclement weather, the X1 has you covered with its adjustable wiper settings. You can control the frequency and intensity of the windshield wipers, to ensure optimal visibility in rain or snow.
And let's not forget about the advanced technology features of the iDrive 8 system. With its intuitive interface and voice commands, you can easily access navigation, entertainment, and communication functions without taking your hands off the wheel. Plus, with features like wireless phone charging and smartphone integration, you can stay connected on the go.
So sit back, relax, and join us for this informative and fun-filled video on the 2023 BMW X1 Tips & Tricks.

The automatic start/stop can be added to a shortcut as mentioned here. Once that is done, a dash at the very top right of the screen can be touched to reveal the shortcut and the note “deactivate once”. Click on that note and “deactivate” changes to “activate”. The gearing remains unchanged, unlike the second method below. A simpler method is when you shift the gear selector to D, push it again and it switches to L. In gear L the start/stop function is deactivated. Also, the car changes shift points to use lower gears.

[@bmwblog]

True. Good idea

[@VeronicaMorrieSlays]

Very cool! Most of these are already in the 7 Series, but I didn't know X1 had some of these as well!

[@bmwblog]

Some of them are. Yes

[@Casper955033]

Very very helpful. Thank you !

[@philforest4747]

Useful. Thanks

[@rezaeefamily]

hi can you tell me how you have set the chirp sound when you lock and unlock. i can't seem to find it

[@papuasingo6489]

what about the glove box light?

[@randyreynolds1045]

Very nice❤

[@S_Paoli]

question for anyone who lives/works near I-95 from Maine all the way down to Florida: when was the last time you saw the 2023 BMW X1(U11) on the road?(except at dealerships, of course) Thanks!

[@ViceCityNightcrawler]

Saw one the other day on I95 down here in Miami

[@devanshkanoria7961]

Hey got a question, in efficient mode the car show’s regenerative braking and added range what is that all about cuz I know my X1 is not hybrid one

[@christianr.6419]

It's about the efficiency / extra range that you gain in the efficient mode compared to the standard mode. E.g. through coasting on the highway (engine decouples/clutch opens when your foot is taken off the gas pedal). Best /CR

[@sazo-navaz]

Cool tricks. I have problem with the profile I already set. After three or four days, all configs in profile that I set already, remove and reset to the factory one with our no reason

[@der.charttechniker]

Weird maybe ask your Car seller

[@kuppsl9414]

Great tips! Any idea, how to tilt the driver wing mirror when reversing for the new X1. Currently only the passenger wing mirror tilts when reversing (right hand drive car!) Thanks in advance.

[@bmwblog]

The driver one doesn't tilt

[@robit28]

Does anyone really hate the gearbox on these? I have just ordered one and pick it up in a couple of days but have heard the gearbox has a lot of lag off the line. I am not going to drive this thing hard, I want more comfort but am a bit worried that the gearbox is not smooth?

[@bmwblog]

The lag was there initially. I think they did a software update on it, but I have not retested it. I would go def test it and test it mostly in the Comfort mode.

[@Ccwuhccwuh]

Yes. The double-clutch transmission is rough. The stop to go lag time is less noticeable in Sport mode but it is there . The X3 is 100 times better in every way. I regretted not buying another X3.

[@bohanan5851]

I see a bunch of stuff that will be expensive to repair if (read: when) it goes wrong. Do we need all this to drive?

[@bmwblog]

That's the story with all new cars

[@youhavebeenhacked88]

There are many other cars you can buy just to drive

[@HenryFrankGarden]

Wonder how to close back mirrors automatically when i close the car

[@bmwblog]

Some cars need a special package for it. Not sure about the X1

[@erenteker6908]

It's in the door lock & unlock settings. You can set it

[@andersonxiao7132]

Can x1 have live view on dashboard and show AR?

[@bmwblog]

Good question. Need to test it

[@SamratPatil-h4i]

Whot is price

[@Danielm316]

Hi there thank you for Your video I lneeded the tip about the wipers . Question where are you located? Are you a bmw employee?

[@MaC.Istanaz]

You forget telling the start and stop engine from remote control

[@bmwblog]

Yes. But doesn't work in all markets

[@ericgutierrez812]

The walk away/approach feature has been a feature since elite the early 2000s lol

[@AustinF516]

If only dealers weren't asking 580 plus a month for a lease on a 45K vehicle.

[@andrewwhite6261]

As I have one of the older x1 I love them but this new style interior a lot looks like it’s been an after thought, this new style will make or brake the selling point I certainly won’t be buying the new one Bmw have totally spoilt it it with the nag interior

[@dfz4032]

Korean and Chinese cars has those years ago, finally BMW is catching on, I wonder how much it costs to add these features 🤣

[@myemail6048]

Can Auto Start/Stop Deactivation be controlled with Voice Command and if so, what wording do you use to do so?

[@bmwblog]

I don't think you can.

[@johnsambo9379]

It's built on a MINI Countryman platform. The seven speed dual clutch is a bad transmission too.

[@bmwblog]

It's def a tricky gearbox. It has its downsides

[@Ccwuhccwuh]

Yes. I bought one and the transmission is clunky. Sometimes it doesn’t move for 2 seconds from stop to go. Very annoying !

[@der.charttechniker]

@@CcwuhccwuhI only got it when I drive in Efficient Mode

[@Ofthe7thSon]

Thanks mate, some very cool tips I wasn’t aware of. We finally collect our new X1 Jun 01….

[@bmwblog]

Glad it helped

[@Ofthe7thSon]

@@bmwblog how intuitive is the BMW Drive Recorder? Should I supplement it with a dashcam?

[@LightSpinAngler]

Any tips for spare tires? The Run flats suck when you need to get to a far shop to get OEM tires 😢

[@edwardosso316]

how to adjust your rear seat BMW X1 2023

[@willmac5642]

Very curious to see price of electric version in Thailand

[@angelamarie5061]

How do you get the voice activated? For bmw to roll window down

[@bmwblog]

What car do you have? It should work for cars with iDrive 8+

[@faceofjok3r]

Unfortunatly, i dont have the first two options

[@SteveLoughran]

I have mixed feelings about the whole "convenience unlock" stuff. It's convenient-but it also adds a whole new way to steal a car from your driveway unless you keep your keys in a metal box. BMW do say "the keys only talk to the car when mobile", but it's still a needless risk. I'm going to get it on my iX1 when it arrives -but only because there are other things in the package (folding mirrors) we actually want

[@bmwblog]

It's not available in all countries
