BMW X1 SUV 2018 in-depth review | Mat Watson Reviews

  • The BMW X1 may come in a small package, but it has sporty aspirations with a hint of luxury. The interior is based upon the 2 Series Active Tourer but, with added visibility in the form of a raised seat height. Does the X1 offer enough space however to outclass rivals such as the Audi Q3 and Mercedes GLA? Whilst it may have a sportier feel and therefore be more fun to drive, will the firm suspension sit well with passengers? Can it warrant its high price tag in comparison to rivals? Find out exactly what I think of the BMW X1 in this full in-depth video review.

    Curious question, the feature that allows you to fold the middle rear seat down (via pulling the strap from the back-seat as found in 1:09) ... does this come in the standard models or is this feature only available with the "reclining rear seat" extra add on?
    I don't care much for the sliding or reclining, but the middle seat being able to fold down is a game changer, especially for snowboarding, skiing and even fishing!

Only had the BMW for about 5months loved everything about my BMW X1 but only down thing i hated, was that when i drove it in snow it felt like it didn't grip the road properly and it started sliding but my JCW Mini Clubman in snow has way more grip and feels more sturdier in snow.
