The BMW x1 is a great start but my experience
Just a BMW x1 and car started to heay up and need. Like the color but if you get it from a car lot they will not tell you what you be fixed or what was the problem before and to them it's just to sell the car
- Purchased a Used car
- Used for Transporting family
- Does not recommend this car
Very good, with a couple of caveats
2020 X1 w/sport seats and convenience package, purchased in 2023.
Positive notes: It's a true BMW: sure-footed, agile, and no shortage of power when needed. It feels remarkably glued to the road despite its small size. Handles as well as my former 3 series and is just as fun to drive. Storage space is good. Ergonomics are good
