BMW X1 2016 review | TELEGRAPH CARS

[@evoermine]

Colour coordinated gloves are an essential when driving I find...

[@FerranBellavista]

this girl is getting prettier with the years, OMG!!!! By the way, nice car.

[@shanjanusman9974]

Shes a smart and classy lady very lovely too

[@zkambov]

+Ferran Bellavista Her boyfriend is a fitness freak hence beauty

[@Firemarioflower]

+ZS K She's got no boyfriend you liar!!!

[@Firemarioflower]

+Xplosion51 Sweet, now let's pour that into my RedBull

[@oneslackr]

+Fire - Guess you missed the big rock on her finger 1:54 so she is engaged.

[@efebaba92]

Rebecca is love, Rebecca is life

[@samharper5881]

I love it when Rebecca shows us what space she has in the boot.

[@RickyXV]

+Sam Harper Sorry but it's only big enough for me. =P

[@ArthurRJ-Racing]

+Sam Harper Why?

[@ArthurRJ-Racing]

sagat4 I get that but this time when she opened the boot there wasn't much visible about her.

[@aabidamn]

+ArthurTHTV Hello, Sheldon!!

[@gioatt]

And when she says "it's big enough to carry two adults in the back..."

[@accg1991]

1:48 - Excellent song choice there!

[@ultrafloss492]

Damn, I didn't expect the car to be this nice and that quick, very lovely.

[@nicksokolis6343]

Great review. However, it seems that you have some problems with the sound in your last videos.

[@swmike]

Yes, whatever microphone is used when doing the non onscreen narrative is definitively not up to standard with the rest of the production. It sounds like she's sitting in an small echo chamber.

[@IceFish.]

+Nick Sokolis you produce better ?

[@nicksokolis6343]

+culinarymatt87 Sound wise? actually yes, I do. The camera work is excellent. Simple and nice. the audio needs works. Rebecca's reviews are some of my favourites and the criticism I make about the sound is because I would like it to be as good as it deserves. In the end they have to compete not with me but with other channels of the same content.

[@1whamster]

You need to see Rebecca reviewing a 7 seat SUV to appreciate how well she clambers into the third row seats in jeans and those high heel boots 😉

[@ravs05]

That is absolutely true...the entry level has got all the spec but there is a 6 month wait to get one with comes with power folded mirrors & front parking sensors!! There was no other option rather than to go for higher spec models!!!

[@boethiusm8438]

BBC should have invited Rebecca on to top gear

[@wildan2136]

+Ras ibra big black...oh wait

[@pb5x5]

+Ras ibra I thought of her or Suzi Perry for top gear.

[@simon199418]

+Ras ibra she's too good of a car reviewer to waste it on top gear. Now if top gear where to reinvent itself again and go back to what it was in 2002 then yeah she would be great.

[@pb5x5]

+simon199418 Yes top gear was much better 10 or more years ago, not the joke it became.

[@aneebaba06]

The new X1 looks so much better than the older model. But as far as the X3 (I drive the 1st gen), it also is much improved and though I don't know about the UK, it is selling well here in the US.

[@SHAHRULAZ]

Kudos to Rebecca. Very professional comment indeed, as usual for other cars that she had commented all these while. Including my all time favourite, the new MINI Cooper S

[@TheAndiBay]

BANANA

[@An.Individual]

+TheAndiBay she kind of giggled as if she knew these comments would be coming

[@Firemarioflower]

+Chainsaw Dude Well she started it.

[@Kryojenix]

+TheAndiBay She was a bit brazen about it this time...

[@LysanderLH]

Cream coloured String-backed brown leather driving gloves. Need they say more?

[@jamiep61]

Rebecca Is one of the best reviewer's for a Motoring KZbin Channel

[@jasonl5589]

1:40, I think it's funny for her too. hahahaah

[@robinrobson4726]

[@robinrobson4726]

[@oneslackr]

Rebecca has a thing for big bananas. She had one with her in the Mercedes GLC review too.

[@colinsmith1176]

Great review! She's a natural presenter.

[@pulixpulix2420]

Rebecca is very pretty indeed am so is the car if I can say so myself. Love them jeans with those tall boots on her, nice choice of wardrobe. We now have the 2.0d engine with two turbos at 231hp? It not at 218hp anymore?

[@wagsbass]

the X1 has storage space for a banana, that's all I needed to know.

[@Pandamasque]

It looks as big as the original X5.

[@indelebilis11]

BMW X1 has standard ground clearance around 18cm, MB GLA only around 13cm.

[@AdamAus85]

Heyyy, I found where Rebecca went after carbuyer.

[@Lennox1492]

I will say I enjoy the color outside of typical black, blonde or gray

[@jh5kl]

absolutely gorgeous car, inside and out

[@mariokajin]

I'm sorry but this is not a review. Don't know folks if you understand Italian (and I'm not Italian) but the real review was on Quattroruote's KZbin channel. They described all the characteristics of this fwd car. All the ups and downs... It's worth watching. And have a nice time... :)

[@damianotoole]

hi rebecca, do you know if those were the optional sports seats? the standard seats look flat and are not comfortable.

[@lundwipro]

this bmw luxury suv is really a best on his segment

[@Himlovesrunning]

I know I am 6 years late here :-) but is it a good buy in 2022 - used 2016 BMW X1 sDrive 18d Sport 5dr that is. Thanks

[@smoursy]

Are you guys going to review the new Mercedes GLC?

[@chamindawanigasinghe8979]

My dream vehicle x1

[@duckman5642]

Rebecca is just fantastic at everything!!

[@MrIlshatt]

Lovely, well done!

[@evangelosspyromilios5994]

Pretty nice gloves!

[@rickgreen626]

Did the heater not work ?

[@toncibrkovic]

That's exactly what I thought when I saw her sweater

[@dbgfwbe1497]

EDC? yes, no? please help

[@Clove_Parma]

Original x1 failed to get good reviews? Bollocks, it was lauded as having the best driving dynamics in the cuv segment, hell it practically started it in the west.

[@zkambov]

+Dan Ghys yeah, it was a best seller, even used ones are selling like burgers

[@GeorgeS-l4n]

Who would buy an SUV for its driving dynamics? You care mostly about practicality when buying such car, and the old X1 was crap in that department.

[@Just_Mike64]

Hey BBC if you are reading this, contact her and get her on Top gear right away.

[@jjrdias]

So classy...

[@SENAYAN123]

Annoying when she mentions "three diesel engines and one petrol" then only discusses two of the diesels...HELLO...what are the other engine options?

[@rajsrivastav6940]

stunning..........i mean her.....

[@jakubbalog8610]

this is ridiculous, X1 is the size of X5 1st gen.

[@michals547]

Sexy, elegant, gloved and boots wearing beautiful Lady driver BMW. I love it !

[@avranwani1982]

Nice car rabbica. Rabbica u keep it up . My tag line will be , beautiful rabbica.

[@pb5x5]

A bet that test car cost a lot with all those options.

[@jonholmzee1]

Nice looking car but no mention whatsoever about the fact it sounds like a tractor at idle and pulling away. But I suppose it wasn't in the script.....

[@sunilvarmadatla]

+Jon Holmes Its problem with all Diesel Cars. This sounds better than Merc

[@sonnykilgallon825]

Doesn't matter what car she's reviewing, she always likes a banana in her box.

[@tayl0rd553]

So who's the VERY lucky fella??

[@conorjackson5360]

x1 vs evoque? help

[@MordFustang1966]

+Draxler Munoz If you actually like driving, get the X1. If you dont like driving and want to not feel anything, get the evoque. However dont forget the reliability of the land rover/range rover brands...you will spend 6months in the repair shop each year..

[@sunilvarmadatla]

+Draxler Munoz Evoqu is more costly than x1. Its totally in different price range.

[@tj9382]

Rebecca is lovely. What was this video about again? 😂

[@danthire]

I think the banana is a metaphor for mens ego!!! Or it means the car is big enough to take care of business!!!

[@Jack9788]

First to mistakenly believe that this is the first comment.

[@whiskey4609]

whats with the bananas?

[@Firemarioflower]

But why front wheel drive?? Honestly!! And the back end looks like that awful Granny Tourer (which is a fake Kia)

[@brucec43]

seats are too narrow for men. She fits fine.

[@MrIlshatt]

Lovely;)

[@sparky191]

Sound is weird. Good review otherwise.

[@kuddin9021]

The old X1 was ugly as sin, this is a major improvement but still lagging behind its rivals in the looks department

[@zkambov]

+Komor Uddin What rivals???? They all suck

[@sunilvarmadatla]

+Komor Uddin Merceds GLA looks like Wagon than an SUV. Checkout Audi Q3 in person, it looks like a cheap crap.

[@Firemarioflower]

Bullocks.... this is ugly as hell. the X1 used to be a nice car.

[@da_great_mogul]

How do you feel now?

[@z00h]

It's 2016 BMW isn't premium anymore.

[@MordFustang1966]

+z00h haha butthurt 1998 civic owner

[@z00h]

Mulkyan are you trying to tell me that in your 3rd world country people still cream over a BMW?

[@MordFustang1966]

z00h dont hate on cars you cant afford kiddo

[@z00h]

Mulkyan I heard that people in 3rd world are impressed by premium things like tap with running hot water or clean toilets or central heating. Whereas in more developed countries these things are taken for granted. And not premium at all. Do you catch my drift?

[@MordFustang1966]

z00h kiddo, go watch used hyundai reviews, they suit your budget more ahahahaha

[@superdiver.]

is that a wedding ring?

[@Romgenas]

No leather

[@fkporsche1]

You are a cutie. Love your review. I think BMW would sell more cars with you. 👍🏻😃🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@denooraM]

Rebecca from all items or fruits you chose a banana?

[@kapuzinergruft]

Vee haf vays to make you drive...

[@rickgreen626]

Gigerdy

[@PTZOUTZ]

those black plastic bumpers are really annoyingly bad looking... come on bmw you can do better than that

[@Awayze]

Horrible diesel noise.

[@jinx9991]

Interesting as to why you insist on squeezing a banana in there,,,,😉

[@me-zb8jc]

Rebecca love bananas.

[@muneebamalik8136]

why she put a banana

[@carlosr4456]

she's married????

[@flaziola]

engaged by the look of it.

[@jzy0104]

...and banana, which smells...

[@sylvainadamczewski4282]

beautiful womens

[@andrewdale]

Great 🍌🍌 Great 🎬 but poor 🎤 Shame 😢

[@appelpower1]

Completely soulless. It may be a good car, but you just know this car was made entirely out of commercial interest. No creativity whatsoever went into it.

[@adrianxxxx36]

BMW the worst car I ever had. Bad painting, corrosion on all 4 alu wheels after 3 years car was washed every week. Problems with lights 3 exchanges per year minimum. Front lamps are not water proof. Head rest too short. Engine chamber has on wheel arc tree big holes where water can go into engine. Engine start to be noisy after 90 000 miles above 1600 revs. This is not a car this is disaster. I forgot problems with front windows visible traces from pull up and down mechanism on both front windows. I was statistically once per month to repair something. I do not recommend at all. And on the end. BMW post service cannot be worst most people from staff believe they do not work there they are kings and their customers are their slaves. Shocking.

[@hasha9]

first

[@eggbirdtherooster]

Just another BORING BMW X car!!

[@hasha9]

ahahha first comment suckers

[@danielmwai412]

not even close

[@kingrofty]

It's still a fugly car. Only bearable to look at cos Rebecca is standing in front of it. When Rebecca said "No matter which X1 you go for, they are all a delight to drive" & somehow expected "No matter which X1 you go for, they are all butt ugly". :p

[@Firemarioflower]

What a great intro!!! Just keeps you thinking, why don't they make such beautiful cars anymore? Everything nowadays looks numb, full of angles and edges, instead of timeless simplicity and elegance.

[@lawrencepll76]

Best Looking BMW yet!!

[@Awayze]

I hope that's sarcasm. this is hideous, the M6 GC is by far the best looking.

[@lawrencepll76]

+Awayze i appreciate your opinion

[@Firemarioflower]

Horrendous..... the M2 is the best looking and most real Bimmer for sale now!

[@troop73oo]

Big thumbs up for letting us know the fuel consumption you actually got. Pity more youtube reviews didnt do the same.

[@scoopermg8226]

I love the jeans and boots. I want to make your face look like a plasterer's radio, Rebecca!

[@UPdan]

She looks great in this video showing she should have her own t.v. series. ...and she remembered the banana!!!

[@aabidamn]

Nice gloves!!

[@hawkesworth1712]

Loaded with plastic parts in the engine bay that are designed to fail after the warranty runs out.

[@BenzinioB]

Yo really have to do something with the sound record. Regarding X1... spend more money and take X3 its the real deal!

[@jocelynchouinard]

Came for the car, stayed for Rebecca

[@89AbdelAlim]

U made The car looks big in the video Nice review :)

[@stewartclanachan7792]

bad audio presumably in studio mode. makes the review sound cheap

[@DIASDEMUSICA]

I love you Rebe! And i love that car with you inside! :)

[@ElleyElley-et4ky]

NAH, not for me!! It's German overrated unreliable expensive high maintenance money pits.

[@uphillfreewheeler]

Another grotesque killing machine being presented inappropriately. It's "so good." Why don't the Telegraph start advertising guns for use in drive-bys? That would be so good.

[@leonklei6393]

+uphillfreewheeler killing machine? why and how?

[@uphillfreewheeler]

+Leon K About 35 killed every week, the equivalent of a major terrorist atrocity. Worldwide about 1.3 million killed every year by motor vehicles. This is not to mention the 29,000 who die prematurely every year as a result of air pollution which is mainly from motor vehicles, particularly diesel.

[@leonklei6393]

+uphillfreewheeler you're talking about cars in general? Guess you shouldn't be watching videos on them then, supports the industry you know.

[@uphillfreewheeler]

+Leon K Yes I'm talking about motor vehicles in general but I particularly dislike SUVs and diesel engined vehicles. I rarely actually watch these videos as I have no interest where the cup holder is or whether there is a sliding back seat. Why are the Telegraph supporting this industry but not more sustainable ones?

[@evoermine]

+uphillfreewheeler - never caught a plane, driven in a car, or train or turned your electricity on then?

[@MicrolonProTV]

I doubt Rebecca ever gets over 40 mpg on anything she drives....she's a race car driver so probably is booting the accelerator on everything she drives!

[@MrIlshatt]

Lovely;)

[@RobertLeBlancPhoto]

Gotta love a gal who always keeps a banana in the center console. :p

[@focusgazblay3177]

Little bit of tyre noise?? Really!! The one I test drove was ridiculously noisy, fun to drive but let down by a very noisy cabin ☹️ my 335 touring is the same☹️ Ps I do like your reviews 👍👍

[@jjdundas3496]

Please can we stop calling this type of car a SUV...leave the yanks to have their simplistic names for things we're a touch more grown-up in the intelligence department.

[@maya1787]

I think Rebecca left carbuyer & joined Telegraph...

[@dshapl11]

why was it mixed with commentary from a tin can, poor sound quality yet again, ps congrats on the engagement 😀 !!
