What Owners are Saying About the 2026 BMW X1
"Great car so far"
"I am a first time BMW purchaser having driven mostly Hondas and Toyotas. I purchased a car specifically for the excellent front seats lumbar support as well as the excellent mileage and large amount of room in the driver seat for a person above 6 feet tall. I’ve had the car for a couple days now and I’m very impressed with how it drives in terms of handling, acceleration, and overall responsiveness. It also rates very high for safety."
"Super happy."
"I recently purchased a 2024 BMW M35i SUV and I am absolutely thrilled with my decision. The sleek and sporty design of this vehicle is a head-turner on the road. The performance is exceptional, with a powerful engine that provides a thrilling driving experience. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with my 2024 BMW M35i. It combines style, performance, and luxury in a way that few other vehicles can match. I would highly recommend this SUV to anyone in the market for a high-end and exhilarating driving experience."
"Happy with my new 2025 M25i"
"My wife and I love SUVs. In fact, over the last decade or so, we have owned probably a dozen or so. Presently we own 3 -- a 2021 GLE 63S AMG, a 2023 GLA 250, and now this new 2025 X1 M35i. Last year we bought an Audi Q3 and we hated it so much, we turned it in after only 10 months and bought this M35i. We are very happy with the new M35i and are slightly unhappy with only a few things. The Info system is not as intuitive as I would have liked, and some features/details have funny and non-descript names or labels. There is no on/off switch for the start/stop engine capability; you have to use the info system to do that each time. I also would prefer that the transmission shifter were a stick on the steering column instead of the strange little pull switch on the console. And to use the paddle shifters, you have to put the trans into manual mode first. I would have preferred if this capability were automatically engaged whenever you pull on the paddle shifters. But other than these few things, I am really happy with this vehicle. I love its power, performance, and low end acceleration. It has good gas mileage, and it handles beautifully. The center console storage area is sort or wonky, as most cars have a much deeper center console storage area than this car."
