I was very excited to purchase the BMW X1 after having a great experience with other vehicles offered by the brand. Unfortunately, it has failed to live up to my expectations. When accelerating the car hesitates making it feel frankly, less responsive and a little unsafe. The middle console knobs and dial have been replaced with a touchscreen interface, meaning I need to make simple adjustments I need to take my eyes off the road. Yes, there is an option for voice assist, but it doesn’t work as expected. The auto shut-off feature is another annoyance as it turns the car off when I stop at traffic lights.

BMW car that can stand out due to its refined interior section
I always stress upon the quality of interior section of a car while I plan to own one. That’s one of the core reasons to filter out BMW x1 amidst heaps of its other major contenders. This compact luxury SUV car is of premium quality and is filled with latest tech features... Read More

Very unreliable and slow vehicle
I thought the BMW X1 would be an exceptional vehicle as I had heard lots of good things about it. Unfortunately, it's not. When speeding up, this car hesitates. It is not at all safe. The lack of the knobs and middle console dials are annoying. Now I’m forced to take my eyes... Read More

Full of tons of glitches
We invested in the BMW X1 because of its reputation for quality but we’re very disappointed with it. From the start, the fancy display was troublesome and hard to navigate. At critical times the CarPlay connection got cut. I literally reached my limit when I was unable to... Read More

Overly complicated display system
I invested in the BMW X1 considering its exceptional quality and prestige, but it became apparent over time that the car was not able to live up to its reputation. I found the display system to be overly complicated and it even malfunctioned at various times, cutting out at... Read More
