2023 BMW X1 Is Small And Mighty But These Three Things Make It Annoying

- The BMW X1 is the starting point of their crossover lineup and it offers a compelling set of features at an aggressive price for a luxury brand. However, I found the driving experience comes with a pretty big drawback.

#BMW #X1 - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
The x1 is obviously not a people hauler. So to criticize for being tight for 3-5 people is a non starter. A very nice sub compact for the class. I’m waiting for the 2025 x3M40/50.
Agree with your review. Start stop is a pain to turn off. Would be nice to save a default driving profile but that does not exist. Wife hates the delay from stopped position. Also, never thought to ask about a garage door opener…. Apparently made into an option. Back to acura as soon as this lease is up.
Apparently you have not driven the M35- just bought it and the lag issues are not noticeable at all plus paddle shifters. No Start stop button is an issue waiting for beamer code update
Great review. I am looking at the M35i variant and have been waffling between this more efficient model you are reviewing here or the perhaps more powerful model. I wonder if the 'Auto Stop/Start' functionality is configured the same way in the drive modes in the m35i?
The M45i is not a 48V mild hybrid, so there is no special electric motor generator to avoid lag from a stop.
It doesn’t feel like an eternity at all to accelerate from a stop into busy traffic. Yes there’s a barely perceptible lag but not as described on this video
Secondly you can get lumbar support by saving a seat position with seat massage. My car has excellent lumbar support. Also the start stop is so smooth I had to turn off the volume and really focus at first to figure out if it’s working. Your assessment is surprising.
The standard seat does not have lumbar adjustment. I assume, your vehicle has it (it costs extra).
If these seats dont fint you there are 2 options, one, take care of your health and lose some weight, i have a IX1 and they are big. number 2, get the msport version, has massage seat and lunbar support.
We traveld 2 ppl for 8 days and even slept in the car, works great, it has more room than any car in the same size.
Paddelshift is for the m-sport or an extra to buy when ordering sometimes.
thank you so much for sharing this information
The owner's manual says the auto-stopped engine will start when the brake pedal is released.
This is not your grandpa's starter...
BWM seems to be quiet on this subject, but my guess is that the starter is mostly not needed with the mild hybrid system helping the dinosaur-fuel engine to get going.
Hello and thank you for the mostly good review. But you can order this model with paddleshifters and also with lumber support in the seats. Beside that I agree with your comment regarding the auto start stop.
well you need the MSport package to get the paddle shifters (along with other items) - can't just get it ala carte..
The M-sort package includes a modified suspension that some reviewers advise against because it is bumpier.
Herenin Switzerland or Germany you can have the paddle shifters without M sport package. If you want to have the M sport seats you have to choose the M sport package but then you can choose the „normal“ suspension instead.
Very accurate report on the stop/start lag/lurch aspect of the X1. This aspect also is harrowing when moving in a tight space where a sudden forward lurch is disconcerting.
Paddle shifters are available as an option.
Another issue is the AWD that is inadequate in snow- going slow on a curve the car simply skates wherever it wants to go.
Auto start/stop can be defeated, although you have to do it every time you get into the car. So you want to add a short-cut to this menu item. Then you swipe down from the top of the menu to reveal the start/stop icon and turn it off (each time you get in).
You have to do better homework, cancelation of a start stop is available in any drive mode, not only in sport mode. You find it in a menu and add yo a short cuts, then you simply swipe down on a screen and get to the function.
I agree it’s not as convenient as physical bottom.
We have this car since November 2022, and I can say it have an amazing fuel economy and amazing brakes.
Unfortunately we didn’t have an option back days for a lumbar support and massage seats as we’ve got HEA package, but today, today you have so many options, to customize your x1 or newly coming x2
In 2025 the X1 M1 version will come with 507 HP, this will give you confidence in traffic.
"Only when you step up close do you realise how small it is " eh?
Yet to find the lag....drive mine in sport so no auto start stop.
Is this a review of reviews?
Usually things appear BIGGER when getting closer to them. At least in my world.
