Review

After test driving a few other SUVs and crossovers from both premium and Japanese makes, I decided to pull the trigger on the X1 and traded in my 3.5 yr old A4. I took delivery of the M Sport variant close to a month back and so far I've been enjoying every moment I'm behind the steering wheel. At current prices, it's definitely more value for money than non premium brand SUVs or crossovers as most of them are priced way to close to the the X1. I like the way the car looks especially in M Sport trim and the overall interior packaging makes it feel roomier than what the dimensions suggest. Steering is direct and sharp even though it lacks abit of feedback. Ride comfort is on the fiirmer side as the M Sport variant comes with the sports suspension so it might or might not be to everyone's liking. The firmer suspension does provide more precise handling though. Power is sufficient for our roads and overtaking maneuvres are never an issue. The 1.5t 3 cylinder is surprising smooth and makes a rorty note when stretched.

X3 lite is actually a good thing!

Lucky ones to secure Jan 24 COE, alot of saving with overtrade of existing car for the price, is really bang for bucks.


It being just 3cm smaller than older x3 dimension equate to spacious interior and practical space for strollers.


Quiet comfort highway cruising machine. The tall body surprising stick to the road during hard corner with no flex or body roll.

The new BMW X1 has really grown up when it comes to its exterior, as well as its cabin layout. It's an angular design that will take a bit of getting accustomed to, just like its new, swanky, and much more pleasing to the eye infotainment system.


Should you get one?

Unrivalled Looks & Practicality, Average Performance

Review

The U11 X1 strikes the perfect balance between cabin space and external dimensions. It is very handsome & modern looking all-round, inside-out. IMHO, it is the best designed and most practical BMW X vehicle till date.


The curved display and sculpted seats gives a sense of luxury quite unrivalled in this compact SUV segment. All seems perfect till you realise the front passenger seat doesn't have electric adjustment - something of which is included in the 2 Active Tourer.


Test drove the X1 sDrive16i M-Sport and the ride is surprisingly quiet. The adaptive suspension is comfortably firm and corners extremely well. However, when you floor the accelerator, the 122hp engine struggles to pick-up and shortly runs out of breath. The 3-cylinder engine rattles and vibrates the cabin when you start/stop at a junction.


This vehicle excels in almost everything except the engine, making it a compelling choice for families who value practicality over performance. For those who wishes both, consider a used BMW 2 Active Tourer sDrive18i or Mercedes GLB 200. The all-electric iX1 is up in the horizon as well.

I drove Mitsubishi Outlander before & traded in my 4.5yr old Peugeot 5008 for BMW X1 2023. Love the manly looks & elegance. The drive is smooth and best bit is the refreshed & intuitive info-entertainment system. The M Sports model also looks nice with the sports rim, interior & both electric car seats. Value for money!

Got my Mineral white X line from Eurokars early march 2023, just in time for my wife birthday (thanks to them), v good responsive experience. Installation of roof carriers too were aided by my SE, again smooth and recommended service. Well done.


Apology, first time owning BMW, hence not able to compare to PML....Have some other experience with non BM, similarly good/neutral feedback with Borneo (both toyota and lexus), C&C merc, Komoco hyundai, Tan Chong Nissans, Kah motor Honda, a few PI and some used card dealers.


At that moment since December 2022, we were choosing between Q3 (sequential lighs not available), GLA (no rear aircon), NX350h (costly), XC60 (carplay not wireless), Kodiaq/Sorento (dont need another 7 seater). Own harrier before so give it a miss, BYD good too but guess more models will be out soon from them, Tucson hybrid sunroof has almost everything actually but tempted to just own BMW at least once.....

No regret so far (only perhaps may consider the M version, at the expense of less comfy ride and lower ride height)

The car that makes me SMILE :)

Review

Driving U11 MS since Dec 22, I can't help myself but smile everytime I approach the car.


As an ex-F48 owner, I've been eagerly waiting for the new model since spy shots appeared. And I was not disappointed & quickly book it in Nov. The first few months owning it, knowing it, understanding it, and of course appreciating it, made me enjoy the car more & more. There's nothing much to complain about going towards my 1st servicing next month. So if you are an empty nester like me, willing to indulge with your hard-earned $$ for something handsome, sporty, high-tech yet knee-friendly and not too big a ride, you can't ignore the new BMW X1 U11.

Let's put it quite bluntly. The Mercedes needs better interior fit and finish, the Q3 looks a bit boring is becoming dated, and the UX is even older still.

If you're looking for a small premium crossover but still want a premium interior, this X1 should be your first choice. Throw in a premium ride and those tasty 19-inch rims and well...

Good driving dynamic, beware of 3 cylinder engine & after sales

Review

Test driven the vehicle, I must say the interior is a massive upgrade from previous gen, comes with driver assistance and alert such as land departure warning, pre collision warning etc.

Good driving dynamics, BMW being BMW, but its 19-inch wheel may be too hard for some people.

Boxy and appealing exterior style, nothing to shout about considering its hefty price tag.

Lack of hybrid drivetrain makes this new model, especially with its 121hp output inferior compared to other makes and model.

But being current owner of F48, I am troubled by the same 3-cylinder engine, which carries unfixable issue like vibration during engine startup, coarse engine sound during idle, which made this premium small car not that premium after all.

It has failed me on several occasion, engine mount crack, oil leak, crank shaft pulley noise, yellow ageing LED running lights, are some issues need to beware and accept when make decision to buy.

Otherwise, it is a good-looking branded car that makes you smile when driving around town.

A great junior luxury crossover

Review

It's the junior of BMW's SUV lineup, and comes with 121bhp, which isn't all that generous, but don't underestimate this X1 - it's quite the capable thing.
