Thomas, you are the gold standard for car reviewers. Your attention to detail is unmatched. Keep up the excellent work

✌️🤗

[@Njpro]

Thomas is the only person I can watch do a car review from start to finish and I don’t skip the video. Thank you sir.

[@autogefuehl]

Way to go 😉

We all love Thomas! He’s very good at describing what a car feels like and what are the best options for different kinds of drivers.

[@cavman1]

Thank you for your continued hard work. Your reviews are the BEST on the web, period. You understand design, engines, as well as driving dynamics. Always learn a lot, and you are not afraid to point out drawbacks as well as the positives. Thank you.

[@autogefuehl]

Highly appreciated. Please support by sharing and recommending :)

[@mannyechaluce3814]

Can't compliment Thomas enough. Outstanding review . Thanks

[@mickyeverton]

Many Thanks Thomas, Ordered one today. Peace From London. 🙏

[@juliusakkerman772]

Lovely when you wake up at 2PM and you can no longer fall asleep, you get to hear Thomas' English with gorgeous German accent. Works better than ASMR!!

[@autogefuehl]

Enjoy 🤗

As always, good review Thomas! After that, I can sleep well... 😜

[@andreipashkov2773]

What I like about your video's, is that the quality as the content are always premium. Keep up the great work

[@autogefuehl]

Please recommend 🤗

Nice review as always Thomas. Great work! 👍

[@iantovey273]

I am really beginning to like the X2 m35i. Thank you, as always Thomas. Your reviews are highly regarded.

Another shade of Thomas blue! Excellent video!!!

[@gbthegreat]

Finally a proper detailed review. 👍🏽

[@20cent84]

There are engine sounds that give me goosebumps. Any 6 cylinder from BMW would send me to paradise. I don't like 4 cylinder sounds, especially amplified in the cabin through speakers...

[@jiholl0306]

Wonderful review as always! Question...how do you feel about the blind spots?....especially since blind spot warning is not available? Does it feel dangerous to change lanes? Thanks!

[@autogefuehl]

One big thing that is missing here

[@phillipw393]

Fantastic review with so much detail! Thank you from Canada 🙏

[@neilturner6749]

Great review and I test drove an M35i, it was fantastic apart from the rock-hard suspension. I wanted to order one but here in the UK it comes with 20” wheels only, and therefore no adaptive damper option! I could not live with the car on 20” rims and M Sport suspension, but love the style and sporty drive of the X2 so much I have ordered a lower power 2.0i Xdrive (19”wheels) with adaptive dampers. I’m still annoyed with BMW UK for their decision, though!

[@autogefuehl]

Awww thats bollocks! No way with M Sport and 20" - way too stiff! Yes good decision m8, fantastic ride with 19" + adaptive !

[@rimmerblues1586]

Yes, this is the thing that's pissing me off with X2, not just the M35i but also lower spec 20i ones, they come with the 20 inch rims on runflat tyres of which there are only 3 branded tyres and one budget available - ridiculous! Hate all the Pro-pack across the BMW ranges with hard big wheels, I think most are dealer spec along with the cheap high-gloss black interior trim! Argh!!

[@thomasa4578]

Very well done.I went out and bought one...Very happy so far😀

[@autogefuehl]

enjoy !

[@pistolpete6321]

Fantastic review, very informative!

[@janeharris9094]

Thanks very much Thomas, very detailed and I feel like I know about a lot of the features before test driving. Excellent overview and very useful!

[@michaelitexpert8069]

Thomas your reviews are detailed and pleasant, I've seen many, danke. But where are the negatives? Is this an advertisement, or a independent useful review? I've seen other reviews on the X2 and they mention very serious negatives: Back breaking suspension, jerky non-BMW gearbox, limited rear visibilit

[@HNZKFK]

Hello, I have a selection in one bazaar X2 M35i 2022 with adaptive suspension, I heard that with sports suspension is too hard for longer rides, I was discouraged by many from the m35i due to the harshness of the chassis, my question is if this model with adaptive chassis (0223 Adaptives Fahrwerk) is acceptable for normal driving for comfort? Thank You very much for answer.

[@chrisbagginsmay2474]

Was going to sleep here in the UK, then another video drops 👍🏻👍🏻

[@autogefuehl]

enjoy or watch the rest tomorrow :)

[@chrisbagginsmay2474]

Autogefühl I HAVE to watch it ALL when it appears! 😎

[@teddym2808]

That's interesting, I can clearly see adaptive cruise on your steering wheel. I thought since we can't get it in Australia that it's a limitation of the model, but it's obviously available and they just want to cut corners here. Insane for a 75 thousand dollar car.

[@sundancebleu]

Excellent and thorough review! Thank you! Can you tell me how the adaptive suspension actually works for the X2? I can’t find a great explanation (I’ve heard different BMWs have different versions). Does the adaptive version feel as stiff as the standard M suspension in sport? Does the comfort setting feel softer than the regular "Comfort" setting without the adaptive suspension? Are they both softer depending on the situation? Maybe you wouldn’t mind describing it more? Thank you again!

[@autogefuehl]

Adaptive suspension will increase comfort in any case!

[@sundancebleu]

@@autogefuehl Thank you!

[@HNZKFK]

⁠​⁠@@autogefuehlis adaptive suspension available for m35i engine? Or only for lower engine? I read m35i is only with 20“ wheels and its without adaptive suspension, it is real? Thank you

[@HNZKFK]

Looking for m35i year 2000 but many reviews says its not good without adaptive suspension, what specifications must have for good comfort? Always there just M sport chassis or adapptive chassis in cars details. Is adaptive chassis good for comfort or not? Thank you

[@stizzygrayson5541]

Great review. Luv this car.

[@rimmerblues1586]

Was the car on run-flat tyres? Also now it's come out since this video, how does this compare to the new 1er M135ix F40 as you suggested?

[@keremuluer]

Hi Thomas, when you say 470 liters for boot capacity, does it include the separate compartment below the cover ?

[@LUCKYGUYWAI]

i love it.. nice review. thanks thomas!

[@autogefuehl]

👌

[@astrospacenot1607]

the only big downside ist the lack of the virtual cockpit which is also included in the M135

[@lucbos7516]

I asked BMW if they sell the X2 in Holland because i never ever saw one The BMW X2 M35i cost 75000 euro in the Netherlands so nobody will ever buy it Way to expensive for a Kia Niro size car

[@P.Galore]

Those seats look incredible. Alcantara is way nicer than leather and will not crack like leather.

[@SuperWolffie]

I am not sure about it lasting in time!!

[@pierre-andreliagre1762]

Hi Thomas and all the staff, thanks for the review, i have the BMW Gran tourer 220XD with M Package, the interior looks like this M2 interior, i'm not happy with the quality, a lot of noise, plastics near the gearbox are very sensibles with scratch, the M-Sport steering wheel made with poor quality plastic make some incredible noise for this level of price, BMW in this level of range is very expensive for the quality.

[@autogefuehl]

thanks pierre!

I am very impressive with the new BMW x2 M35i 2019.

[@Mgoblagulkablong]

Price of the car as shown in the video is ~€63.000 in low tax (for european standards) Germany...

[@woutervanes3533]

Hi Thomas, around 14:48 you talk about the instrument cluster. What's your view on the material used for those screens? I think they are way too scratchy....even if you just take a way some small dust with your finger, when the sun hits the cluster you already see scratches.....I think that's a design mistake IMHO.

[@autogefuehl]

yeah u have to pay attention that nothing gets there =)

[@ArtcoPhotography]

I don’t get what BMW are trying to do here, and what demographic they are targeting. I can see that this would complete with Audi Q2 but I just think these types of cars have no overall difference comparing to a saloon, estate or a traditional SUV. In the UK, almost 4/5 people who buy SUVs or compact SUVs do not take them off road and are such just jacked up cars. So what is the point? When you can get the same practicality and performance with transitional cars.

[@ICHDERTWEETY]

It doesn’t matter to BMW whether these cars make sense as long as people keep buying them…

[@matthewgaines10]

@@ICHDERTWEETY Pretty much.

[@matthewgaines10]

@Artur Corka If you don't understand it, you're not the target demographic. They are targetting the demographic that is abandoning cars for crossovers. They have plenty of data that this is a viable offering. It may not be for you. It may not be for me. But they are building it for somebody other than you and me. Regardless of the use case you quote for crossovers in the UK, those people still bought them nonetheless now didn't they? The point is as long as there are customers, they will build them.

[@steveo8533]

And now in 2023 these style of cars have become some of the most popular cars on UK roads. The Puma for example is now Fords top seller, a vast majority of people prefer to drive in a higher seating position and whether we like it or not these type of cars are the present and the future of the motor industry.

[@jeremiahbachmann3901]

Can you get a better speaking voice for a German car review? This is perfect...thank you.

awesome, you ll enjoy the better climate comfort - and also that you ve done something for _the_ climate =)

[@DS-pk4eh]

So its engine has nothing to do with 1 series M135i or M140i? No more i6? :-(

[@ozkan38]

Thomas, if they cost the same, a second hand x2m35i or an Alfa Romeo Stelvio Ti (2018). Can’t decide, I’d really appreciate your advice thanks

[@autogefuehl]

Stelvio is the bigger vehicle, is that a pro or con for u?

[@ozkan38]

@@autogefuehl thanks for replying! I’m 6ft3 (193cm) tall. However, jn Australia I can get a 2018 stelvio ti for the same price as a 2018 x2 m35i. I’m definitely a driver’s experience kind of guy. Which vehicle would you choose?

[@autogefuehl]

Both nice for sure. Stelvio is bigger, both drive well. Reliability could speak for the bmw

thanks! I always mention consumption :)

[@autogefuehl]

Yes of course why not

[@ewald3730]

Excellent review! I like this X2, I think it will do very well. Love that blue! My only comment is about that M batch. BMW is quick to stick a M batch on their cars. I cannot help thinking M batched BMW’s must have at least their legendary 6-line motor. Perhaps they should have invented a new batch, like wbM...(wanna be M).

[@autogefuehl]

thanks for watching!

wow they put 35i on 4 cylinders already?!

[@McBeamer94]

Looks very nice in M-Performance guise combined with the Thomas Blue colour, I have to admit! But other than that, I have a serious question: what is so special about a 4-cylinder, so as to even call it the 'strongest 4-cylinder BMW have ever made'? Nowadays we are awash in 4-cylinder engines and they all sound the same (which is to say 'colourless')! There is absolutely nothing special about a 4-cylinder engine! It is the most common engine available anywhere!

[@autogefuehl]

It's just that its their strongest 4-cylinder, next step then is the 6

From concept to production this is one of BMW's most underwhelming I think. Even in that nice hue its quite disappointing.

Why do BMW make the “M-lite” models? They confuse people like me and piss off BMW loyalists.

because they sell more than the true M models
