All wheel drive drives smoothly like a dream machine.
BMW x1 is an all wheel drive, love driving this car, very low maintenance,, it has eco drive option. Also sunroof. The trunk space is very spacious. The car is fitted with rear camera and parking assistance. Bluetooth options works very well with android phones, also the navigation. And radio and music system.

Nice car but far too small.
The car is very small and it is difficult for tall people to get in and out of the car plus if there’s four people in the car you cannot push the front seats back. A larger model or if it is a single person. For me and my son when he was a toddler but we already have problems when he’s age 7 and we have another passenger in the car in front seat.

BMW cons & pros you should know.
I have driven BMW for the past 12 years or so. I really love the way the cars look and how they perform on all levels. I always say my car talks to me so anyone that does not check their fluids or tire pressure the BMW is a great choice. I hate cost of repairs though.

My take on the 2014 BMW x1.
No problems with this car. Great acceleration, lots of utility. Easy to maintain. Reliable. The 35 trim engine adds an extra punch that makes the car fun. Great visibility. Back seat could be more spacious but this would eat into the trunk. This is the last model year with the analog automatic transmission, which I like.

Performance and enjoyment.
I love my car its smooth when driving, it's great in the winter not once did I get stuck because of the rear wheel drive. The sports mode is amazing too. We have a long sunroof and its great my children love that as well overall I would buy another without a doubt.

It's a very dependable car. BMW stands behind their products.
This is the second BMW I've owned. I like the way they look. I like the way they drive. IRS a reliable car. I like the service I get from my local BMW dealer. I don't always like the price of the services I receive.

Affordable, practical and good looking.
I have no problems/issues with my vehicle. I have enjoyed the gas mileage and reliability. Though, it is on the smaller side of vehicles, it actually has plenty of cargo space, as needed. The 4 cylinder engine actually has very quickness, especially when merging onto interstates and punching it when necessary.

Small and efficient BMW crossover SUV.
I like it but I wish it had a sunroof a backup camera in dash GPS and power seats on passenger side. I would like a little more upgrades in the interface also. The plastic pieces that are in the back end keep opening and the hatch is hard to open and close.

Love my car. There’s a few things that bother me.
There are numerous buttons that I have to look up is the only problem. Also my headliner started falling this year. Not sure if it is because of the South Texas heat. Other than all that, the car runs great. I have not had any issues with it. The car service is superb also.

Very comfortable AWD vehicle.
The feel of a regular 4 door sedan with extra trunk space. The AWD makes it safe and easy to drive all year long. For it being an older model the car does not feel old. As a negative the sensors seem to be very touchy as the light turns on frequently without anything being wrong with the car.

Compact Roomy Beauty That handles like a CHAMP
I have never had any issues with my vehicle regarding performance, reliability or comfort. I did not opt for the navigation or upgraded technology package but it does strike me as odd that I cannot sync my phone up to play music (I have to use an auxiliary cord). I do have Bluetooth for my cell phone calls. This is my only complaint. The car handles like a champ, is compact enough to have no issues in the city parking and maneuvering through traffic but enough space to load up with kids and cargo for a camping trip. The back seats drop easily when needing extra space. I need a 6+passenger car and I'm really sad to eventually let this one go!

Great car, highly recommend.
The car drives amazing no matter the weather. The tired are very reliable and even run flat. The interior is very appealing to the eye and it has lots of great heating/cooling options. Maintenance on the car however can be extremely pricey, especially if you get it done at the BMW dealership.

Very likely to consider it.
It is a very comfortable car. It give us too much luxury and driving was comfort. It give great miles.Apple's market share is bigger than the car or other cars in the automotive market. This car cannot take you as far as a diploma. This is very interesting to drive. It gave much comfort. I am very likely to consider it. This car increasing it, s comfort level. Driving like this car gave us heaven pleasure.

BMW x-1 not the ultimate driving machine.
Quick to drive, especially when turbo kicks in. Rather Spartan interior with few creature comforts. Gas mileage not that good. Hard rubber floor mats are pain to keep clean. Run flat tires are hard and I replaced them at 60,000 miles. Would not purchase again.

BMW x1 is a great reliable car!
I have not had any problems with my vehicle. I have the base model of the car and the quality is still ten times better than the majority of other car brands. The gas mileage of the car is really good. I can usually go over a week without filling up even with driving a good amount. As long as you keep up with maintenance the car runs great.

It actually has headlights that turn when you turn the wheel. Amazing!
I purchased this vehicle from the original owner, it had 40,000 miles on it and was absolutely gorgeous inside and out. This interior is absolutely beautiful and the features included a panoramic sunroof, a navigation, back up system, a security system and if you lock your keys in the car or it gets stolen you download your car on BMW's app and not only will they unlock your car, they will start it and find it for the police. I live in Alaska and I drive round trip regularly around 400 miles on a half tank. It has so many wonderful features including the all wheel drive and turbo drive. You will not be disappointed.

BMW x1 review. Like the driving of BMW.
Run flat tires lasted 24,000 miles.. Had to replace valve cover on car. Need to replace drivers door seal. Drives very well and gets decent gas mileage. Rear seats not comfortable and has little leg room. Had to replace front and rear brakes. Caliper froze up and had to replace rear brakes again.

2014 BMW x1- great handling.
This vehicle is great at handling and provides a smooth ride. It is sleek and compact while still giving you storage options. Panoramic sunroof provides a fun experience for your passengers. This car offers heated seats, navigation and Bluetooth services. The turbo engine is louder than other BMW models but it also provides more of a boost.

Driver has control in BMW x1.
This car drives really well, although for some people it may be harder to drive than other cars. The steering wheel is harder to maneuver, which allows the driver to have more control over the vehicle. It does not move every time you just touch the steering wheel. It also has features like a backup camera, GPS, and Bluetooth. This car has great gas mileage, I do not have to fill up the tank that often when I am not going anywhere far for awhile.

X-Drive unreliable
X1 2.0 X-drive - honestly the worst BMW I have owned.Whilst it is comfortable and powerful, the x-drive is a disaster. For a while now I have noticed a jerkiness on acceleration which has got progressively worse - turns out it needs a new transfer box at a cost of £3K plus fitting. Only 70,00 miles - avoid the x-drive at all costs.

Keyless entry/exit and windows open with just the key.
Great working car, efficient, gas is good for the price you are paying. Steering wheel is a bit stiff and labor costs are heavy, but if you take good care of it, there should be minimal reason for labor other than usual fixes. Comfortable car with sunroof, heated seats, and easily accessible with keyless entry and locks.

Not quite worth the price tag.
I really like the x1, especially when it comes to safety and overall comfort as the driver. However, I think there are a few things that are not my favorite. Firstly, the car is very low to the ground making it hard to see blind spots well and might not be everyone's preference. Personally, I also find the drive to not be quite as smooth as other luxury vehicles, but this is something that has been addressed in subsequent vehicle updates. On the whole this is a nice car, but later updates really address some of the problems I feel make this vehicle lacking for its overall cost.

Others should understand that she purrs like a kitten.
Sparkling white made for little ole me, sleek leather interior with rugs that are butter soft. Great on gas it will run for miles, but you never hear the engine. Fully loaded with satellite imagery. The trunk space is roomy enough for several bags of grocery. The trunk also has a canvas that covers whatever’s in the trunk space. The most amazing is the satellite radio, which plays many stations. Navigation is a great perk to help you on your journey and beyond. All in all the best driving vehicle on the road.

BMW X1 is GREAT FOR A SINGLE PERSON WANTING TO DRIVE
The X1 has been a life changer. It's the perfect crossover. The gas isn't that bad when you are driving long distances. The warming seat and steering wheel features during the winter have been great. The only bad part that the back seat is a little tight for leg room and also car seat.

BMW x1 - solid, fun, great features.
I have been very happy with our BMW x1. It is a really great car. It has good gas mileage, is fun to drive and I love the details of my car. If you are considering buying one keep in mind that BMW maintenance may be a bit more costly than domestic cars but if you take care of it the car will last a very long time. In our particular car I love the color of both the interior (beige) and exterior (blue). I love the heated seats, heated steering wheel, moonroof. While this is a small car and one of BMW's smallest models, the way the back seats fold down really allows for a roomy back area.
Katie D
on March 26, 2020
The most important thing others should know is that BMW's drive and handle extremely well.
I love my X1. It is a small car on the outside so it's great for city parking, however it is spacious on the inside. The acceleration is fantastic and is something I really appreciate in a car. It was something I didn't find in other vehicles that were of similar size. The car has held up well overtime. I have had the car for about 2 years and it is a total of 5 years old.
Marcia L

BMW model x1 review, year 2014.
The vehicle is very comfortable and aesthetically pleasing. The navigation system is not always well updated with traffic info, but all other features work great. It is reliable and has a great sound system. The leather interior is comfortable and the large sunroof adds great natural light in the vehicle. There have been no problems with it being unreliable.
Candace T

My thoughts on the BMW x1.
I like the car a lot it is just too small for our needs. We have two car seats in the rear row and it is very tight. Also the trunk space is small. There’s also this annoying feature that turns the car off when you stop and you have to press a button every time you start the car to turn the feature off. If I didn't have kids I'd really like this car. It is just too small.

Frank 2014 BMW SUV rides like a sedan
Great small SUV. The car has great performance and is a small sport utility vehicle. The leather seats are nice in both Summer and Winter (heated) and the performance is close to a three series sedan. The moonroof is a nice feature as well for long rides on a sunny day.

BMW midsize love for small family.
I enjoy driving my car. It is reliable and rides really smooth. I like the trunk space and the overall look and feel of my car. I am only 5 feet tall so the size of the car is perfect for me but also accommodates my growing son. I believe it uses a lot of gas with the stop and go traffic but seems pretty good on long road trips. My husband enjoys driving my car as well. I believe it is a good car for both single people and small families as well.

BMW X1 is a reliable safe car
I got my driving license a few months ago and it's really to drive this car for a beginner. I bought it because BMW is a qualify and a safe car brand and it was quite affordable. I love driving it and I absolutely recommend X1 to women who want to drive a safe comfortable reliable car

There's a start stop engine meaning that the engine will stop when the car stops
It has a great no roll-back feature, and is perfect for driving in the city. It's steering is quite stiff, but if you're like me and live somewhere where there is a lot of pot holes and parallel parking this coming in very handy! Although there is no navigation system the audio is fantastic and there is Bluetooth for your phone. Absolutely LOVE this car!

Not bad for reliability. It holds its value.

The best deal on the market.
Excellent vehicle all around. Best car I am aware of within its price range. Completely meets the high standard BMW is known for. Feels great to drive and looks great inside and out. Not cheap to maintain, but well worth every penny. Would honestly recommend it to anyone looking to get the most for the least, financially speaking.

My BMW x1 is the lemans blue with the sport package. Its sleek and very sporty.
My BMW x1 has been a blessing to my little family. The trunk space allows you to carry 1 large luggage, dog crate and 2 large bags. Its fast and is very receptive. It can fit into smaller spaces and can zip through traffic. The interior needs more comfort but it does snug the road. The performance level can get you merging into traffic with ease.
