While I had a positive experience with the BMW X1, I feel it fails to deliver what it claims. The driving experience was fine, but it left me wanting more. The gas pedal is one noticeable quirk, as sometimes it feels disconnected. When I step on it from a stop, there is a noticeable pause before the X1 begins to move, and even then, it doesn't leap forward swiftly. It feels as if the engine is taking its time revving up. Although using Sport Plus mode improves responsiveness, I wanted a little more from this car. On the plus side, the well-geared suspension offers a smooth ride.

Sleek, efficient and powerful
I recently bought the new BMW X1 and I am extremely happy with the car so far. Looking for a spacious, comfortable and powerful SUV, the X1 was a top choice within my budget and having the BMW tag, I always had an inclination towards it. The car looks amazing with a very sleek... Read More

Much bigger on the inside
I was confused about buying the BMW X1 because, on many online forums, people designated it to be extra small. But after test-driving it, I couldn't even think of buying any other car. It has unmatched handling and acceleration and can outshine even the key players in the... Read More
