[@Andrei-kh6kr]

the cruise control has auto adaptive distance, so you don't need to adjust the distance all the time, and it works quite well. I prefer it like this.

[@ahlsn7346]

What does this mean? Isn't all adaptive cruise controls auto distance?

[@Andrei-kh6kr]

@@ahlsn7346 no. The adaptive cruise control keeps the same distance to the car in front by allowing the driver to set the distance. Whereas in this car based on the speed the car decides also the distance. High speed bigger distance. Lower speed smaller distance. You can nodify it in the menu but by default it is set to auto. So basically you no longer have to worry about the distance and you have one less thing to set up.

[@ahlsn7346]

@@Andrei-kh6kr The distance for each setting was depending on speed in both my previous car, an Audi A5 2020 and also my current BMW 3-series 2022. But maybe it isn't like that in all cars. I thought it was standard behavior on adaptive cruise.

[@Andrei-kh6kr]

@@ahlsn7346 you are wrong audi doesn’t have acc like bmw in the new x1 or new active tourer. Look at your wheel. You have a key for setting the minimum distance on your wheel.

[@jarkkohaimakainen2378]

The >10 years old F30 320d (184 hp) can also do ~1200 km with a full tank and the average consumption is approximately 4.7 - 4.8 l/100km (according to the onboard computer). Regular BMW diesel figures for a while now.

[@jarkkohaimakainen2378]

​@Soldier4JesusChrist You mean that SUV's in general have a larger cross sectional area than sedans, which is right. Still, you can compare 10 year old diesel engines to ones that are available to folk today, and the 0.5 liter difference in average consumption between a new front wheel drive X1 and a 10 years old 320d seems quite notable (if the measuring technique is ~the same), even if the difference in the body styles of the cars is taken into account.

Felt like every typical adjustment (change temp, turn on heated steering wheel or seats) took 3-7 clicks to do in the interface. Dealer told me to use voice control for easier access. Think I’m going to avoid and consider either Q3 or go back to a 3-series to satisfy my desire for tactile switches and knobs.

That one about the "cruise distance" for the Cruise Control , is very "compatible" of "selling" features in the car, that are already there from stock, as then, you don't have to different set of buttons in the steering wheel...really a bad move from OEM's, as they actually sell the car with all the hardware, but then you have to pay extra to use something that is already in the car...just crazy!!!

[@ΧρήστοςΔενέχεισημασία]

It actually cuts costs. It is less expensive to produce the same vehicle and just disable a few features, than selectively make each vehicle totally custom made. Besides, you are not paying for the hardware, you are paying for the R&D behind it.

I love my 2019 fully optioned executive package with the adaptive sport dampers; I added aftermarket 19" wheels with performance tires and had mine programmed by a someone that offered the service. ODB connector, cable, laptop and software to add options found on the higher end models. Then for another $500 he added the canned engine software that added a lot of HP and TQ without the expense of worse gas mileage. I also added a BMS intake and lots of cool interior options to personalize mine including a box that fills the area underneath the center armrest so that you can put more stuff there and it won't show or fall out....and even has a hole for the USB ports...and looks OEM! I love the LED adaptive headlights. The X1 is a better value than a VW Golf R and is a lot more practical and more upscale for about the same price. It's the first vehicle that I purchased that has never been back to the dealership for ANY warranty issues. On the highway I usually drive at about 120 Km/hr and get close to 36 MPG....Let's see an X3 do that...probably around 24MPG. I love my heads up display and the self parking feature actually works.... This is one amazing vehicle and In 3 years I'll get the new one...and mine will be easy to sell because of the transferable extended warranty and maintenance plan.....and the lower loyalty interest rate....you can't find a better small SUV on the market. Not KIA, Hyundai, Mazda, Ford, GM, VW and many others....and if you like visiting the garage then get a Jag or a Land Rover. I love driving mine in any kind of weather....because it's predictable, easy and fun to drive....and the next one will be even better.

Tbh by comparing to any other latest bmw design, this x1 is lowkey good looking.

The active cruise control adjustment B.S. may be a deal breaker for me. I alter the following distance quite a bit, so this "buried in the menus" stuff is just nuts.

Thanks for watching send a direct message for more enlightenment👆❤️

I typed in "BMW X1" in the search bar, and Carwow's review came up as the very first result. Leagues before anything else, even before BMW's own page. With the demise of the Trio, you guys are now the best car show on the planet. I kneel before you.

I test drove the X1 after watching your review. Planning on ordering one now. Ive owned many BMWs and this small one really pleasantly autprised me, considering the awful looking cars coming from Munich these days!

[@Bmontepeque11]

I dislike most new BMWs, but this X1, other than the over complicated infotainment, looks like a great car! 🙌🏻

Mat is seriously funny when he is annoyed lol. I personally prefer my own GLB 250 over this though it’s just better ergonomically than this and has a better rear end design wise. But this X1 is far superior to its last generation gotta give bmw props!

Anything Mercedes is better

[@the0verrated893]

why do they not offer black alloys as an option?! does anyone know if they plan to change that?

[@art_by_seth4985]

It’s just better.

[@scottroberts5529]

Wonder if they will offer the m35i motor in the x1 like they did in the x2

[@icbhamzahcars51]

That’s a lot of hp for a family car lol
