I'm currently leasing a 2024 X1 M35i and enjoying every moment driving the vehicle. One negative is if rear cross traffic alert is a important safety feature, you will be very disappointed at how this system functions. This apparently is common on alot of BMW vehicle models to my knowledge. My previous Cadillac XT-4 had a superior RCTA system. BMW really needs to address why this system doesn't meet the industry standards.

@@garfieldanderson4539 Yeah, I've noticed that RCTA on BMWs will only alert at the extreme last minute, if at all. Other than that they are great driving vehicles. And the M35i is plenty fun. 💪🏾 Thanks for sharing and for watching!

You are going to need it as you can’t see out the back with your own eyes. Only with the camera. Also the duel clutch is super awkward low speed and especially on a hill and parking. Go back to the ZF please

@drewyager4020 Actually, the DCT isn't that bad thanks to the electronic parking brake. A number of companies have figured out how to automatically engage them on hills so that you don't experience the typical odd behaviors. It's seamless and they're much smoother at low speeds now, too. RCTA, however, can be questionable at times.
