Same thing BMW are doing on the new Mini Cooper as well. Exhaust just blows air, inside it's popping and banging. They've even put DSG farts in as well. Tragic.
You struggled to find some pluses, and understandably so, Max, -- your diplomacy is unmatched. Kudos. I'm not so diplomatic -- the car is a POS embarrassment and a result of whatever BMW is smoking lately. Still a huge fan of your show. Keep 'em comin'.
@@norsetv8752nothing was ever wrong with the look of the G8X from launch. Y’all just hate change and find it trendy to hate on it. As you can see the roads are filled with them now.
First time that an M Performance model (and 4 cylinder only) gets the quad exhaust, as VAG has been doing for a long time? 😢 Used to be reserved for real M models only
They give it to models that won't get a full m-version I believe. The x1m135i got it and now the x2m135i as well. We will probably also see it on the next 1 and 2 gt m135i.
Awful car that has no right to exist. Love the way you demonstrate that you can safely drive at speeds in Germany that would get you a lengthy prison sentence in the UK. Many thanks for another honest and thought provoking review!
I'm going from an m240i convertible manual. I test drove the X2 and really did enjoy it. I ordered one right after. I'm going to strip the badging off though. I think a 4c baby M isn't appropriate. But the car handled great, had plenty of pick up and go and he's right the seats are amazing.
That’s absolutely bizarre that BMW have got rid of the idrive controller…. Fingers crossed this doesn’t become the norm, I can’t stand using the touch screen
With a total of 2,253,835 vehicles delivered to customers worldwide in 2023, the BMW brand posted growth of +7.3% from the previous year, with sales reaching a new all-time high!
@@tsaki_titan No way!!!! Duh, I was insinuating is that 5.4 for a 300hp BMW is pretty poor compared to a less powerful GTI, especially at the cost of the BMW. 300hp I would expect it to break into the 4 second range.
I love the look. In fact, I never interested in M car but i probably buying this. "When everyone hate it, its time to buy it" - REBEL. BTW why don't just off the "iconic sound"? I also dislike fake sound
Who the hell is green lighting these new hideous designs? The XM, the new M3/4, the 7 series. They all like cars carved from a block of wood. The dash display look like a bunch of iPads strung together. And I have two BMW's currently. Touch only controls creates safety issues. And he's right VW got smart and listened to their customers, getting rid of touch only.
Highly doubt this is anywhere near as bad as portrayed here. But, I do agree it's overpriced & do agree it's a weird thing they got rid of it as a hot-hatch & made essentially scaled-down version of the X4.
Hi, how reliable is the all-wheel drive? I'm coming from permanent all-wheel drive and would like to buy the X1 M35i. I'm afraid of worsening my drive technology. Thank you for your content 🥳👍
At least it is not that ugly so that you cant look at it.. progress. And yes i get that it is supossed to look like neue classe from the 60s but the difference is that the neue classe actually looked good.
I live in PA USA and I 'ordered' a Vegas Red X2 M35i with every available package and option. A bit over 60K USD and what I thought, given all the hype, was a great deal. Shifted down a notch from my fully-equipped X3 M40i. Ordered early December 2023. No information available on its build and delivery status until early May, when my dealer informed me that the model (?), my configuration (?), any X2 (?), would NOT be provided to customers in the US. No information from BMW area or corporate as to the reason. I checked dealer inventories from Boston to LA and found only a few low-end "lot cars" - mainly non-Ms, two half-equipped Ms. Does anyone know what's going on? A flaw found at the last moment? Baltimore? Robots on strike? Well, if I order another Bimmer. it'll be a 2025 X3 M50, so I can go down to my home state and pick it up. No ocean to cross. Help.
A 540i has 340hp, I do not know which car you have that it does have 300hp. And knowing that a sedan is faster than a cross-over given same weight, because you know aerodynamics, so yeah.
ah saw one at the gym and told myself who the fuck would buy that... it looks preposterous. im glad its as shit as it looks, thanks for not holding back your tongue lol
Even though I am not a great fan of BMW, I really like the exterior of this model. Even from inside it looks good, but the fake sounds from speakers is very pathetic.
NO NO NO..... I've had x3's, x4, x3m40i ....and now the x2m35i. I agree only on 2 point: stupid of BMW to have drop the idrive system. iconic sounds...dumb, I have it off. For the rest...just go and see the various test that have been done....especially the one in spanish...43 minutes just published..very clear.

@@Ignotas_Tunaitis so we have to lose our taste now? Sad.
@@deruniversalindikator Seems like it, unless the market will come back for Europe again…
@@Ignotas_Tunaitis Yeah, I guess we need to stick to the classics and get some old cars / stay with the old cars.
Yeah its crazy to me how car design has tanked to an all time low the last 10 years or so
That speaker exhaust shit is terrible, the car shouldnt have an M badge 😂

Looks better than any old bmw, the old m3s that yall overhype so much, are garbage to me

Didn‘t get that too. If you don‘t like it, turn it off. Would have been interesting to hear the normal sound through the gears. Chance gone.
you know its not a good look when max and martin are more interested in a turbo S passing by than the car they're reviewing 😭😭

Am i really the only one loving this car😂
nope, i love it too
I was given one of these when my E39 Alpina was in for a service.Basically I just laughed.
Best part about the look of that car is the colour
Good explanation as always Max 👍 A sad powertrain however 😕
Nice color!
Man i just can't stop laughing, you can't tell even one good thing about this
Looks like it's built for speed!
I love your videos
the car isnt really that ugly, it looks like a small x6. but man that interior, the lag, the fake sound, the 2L shitty engine... mannnn
interior i agree, they fixed the lag, u can turn off the sound, and b48 is a very reliable engine
Personnaly..i really like the new design👌❤️
I must agree, the seats are almost perfect and in general interior quality is superb. Engine is of course far from being superb... pity.
Step by step, they're working on getting you to embrace the concept of the 15 minute cities...
At least it is not that ugly so that you cant look at it.. progress. And yes i get that it is supossed to look like neue classe from the 60s but the difference is that the neue classe actually looked good.
Nice car
How this design saw anything beyond the trash can after being drawn is beyond me. I really don’t understand how anyone thought this was a good idea.
if they fixed the tailights it would look better
maybe you will try the new audi s3 facelift with 333 hp and rear diff
Way to expensive for what you get in my opinion 😅
Smoke and mirrors is spot on…
Can you do GLC COUPE 43. 2024
Less gooo❤❤❤
As a lifelong BMW lover my take is, BMW is completely lost at design.
Design wise this car is a Fiat Multipla on steroids😂
I can feel your disappointment at 8:17 ......🙃
When you don't have money for a real BMW but really want a BMW...
For the x2 m35i price you can get an f80 m3
Könntest du auch bitte mal einen Kia stinger GT machen?? Das wäre mal ein interessantes cooles Fahrzeug.

How to compare to the Jaguar E-Pace?
For an Autoban Blast 🚀
Omg, 16:42 the turn signal is working.
are the burbles from the speakers?
yep, actual exhaust makes no sound at all.
I wouldnt call that design.
It is. I don’t care what you call it

Its look like an Hyundai or a chinese car😢🤢🤮
i have an '23 X1... i HATE the touch screen and stupid shelf between front seats... i am getting rid of it, iDrive 8 is garbage.
does it really exist? Has anyone ever saw one on the road?

IM BEGGING YOU
They smoking dat new age crack at BMW
I'm very tolerant, so my opinion on design doesn't really matter, but I prefer the XM over this.
This has to betoverall the most horrendous BMW ever produced. Very sad!
XM?? 🤔
Oui
also this is some kind of haldex type drivetrain crap?
Will BMW make full blown M model
I genuinely think this is a good looking crossover
Please review Toyota Prius
He was really disappointed to be honest.
What are bmw doing?
In the first video of the car on this channel I said that I liked it's design, but I'm not so sure anymore...
I have several question, number 1 is: Why tf does a 35i car have a 4 cylinder??
I'm convinced BMW is purposely dumbing down their mainstream products to make the transition to EV's seem like an improvement. Change my mind.
Gibt es eigentlich irgendetwas was der Moderator nicht schlecht redet.boah Katastrophe.Der schafft es jedes Auto kaputt zu reden!!!
The rear looks like a VW T-Roc
That car needed 350hp !!! It would make much more sense to get it in the years of cheap electric power
ah saw one at the gym and told myself who the fuck would buy that... it looks preposterous. im glad its as shit as it looks, thanks for not holding back your tongue lol
Even though I am not a great fan of BMW, I really like the exterior of this model. Even from inside it looks good, but the fake sounds from speakers is very pathetic.
I actually like the design more of this new X2 more TBH, but the rest of the car has so much flaws and glaring faults it is hard to like.
Love it ❤
