  • Nice car, but dealership service dept is worthless - 2016 BMW X1
    By -

    I purchased my X1 off the showroom floor and when leaving found a ding on the dash and a light was missing in the door. The dealer wrote a "We Owe" to fix the problem. Trying to get BMW to do anything is like pulling teeth. 2 months later ding is still there and no light. Their response is, its coming from Germany and we have to get approval. Just make sure your X1 is in perfect condition when you leave, because it will never get fixed. Sad to say this will be my last BMW because of the service Ive received.

  • The worst seats imaginable - 2016 BMW X1
    By -

    The good: its faster than other similarly sized small suvs and has good bmw looks The bad: these are the worst seats. my test drive seemed ok but once you sit in them for a while you know. its like sitting on a flat park bench. sport seats are only available in the m package, which dealers here dont order

  • Wouldnt Get Another One - 2016 BMW X1
    By -

    Got stuck in a lease with one of these, I immediately regretted it. BMW must be paying for positive reviews, because it not that stellar of a vehicle. The car has stylish looks, has many bells and whistles, and is fun to drive in Sport mode, but thats about it - everything else is like driving a typical 4-cylinder, kind of boring and sluggish. The worst part about the X1 is the interior comfort and design. The front seats are the worst Ive ever seen, they have ZERO padding, way too firm like sitting on a park bench, theyre also too narrow and high. The leather is very grippy and not smooth, tugs your shirt. The steering wheel obstructs the dashboard, you cant get a clear view of the entire instrumentation through the top hole of the steering wheel. The controls for the screen and navigation are horrible and feel 20 years old. Selecting single letters or digits to input an address into the nav? Forget it. Its also unsafe having to look down at the control wheel and buttons instead of up. I would not describe the whole system as intuitive at all. Outside temp only visible to the driver, no digital speedometer, annoying. The on-wheel radio controls are not the easiest to set up or navigate. The whole cabin instrumentation is just overcomplicated, and kind of Frankensteined with new and old. The screen looks like it should descend, but it doesnt, its kind of unsightly like its tacked on. MPG is so-so unless you drive in Eco mode which turns engine off at stops. Overall very disappointed with the X1. It looks like a BMW on the outside, but it isnt on the inside.

  • Just not a good value - 2016 BMW X1
    By -

    Ok small SUV, but noisy on the freeway, some cheap bits in the interior and harsh ride. Dealers are not willing to move of MSRP much and its just not worth the purchase price. Poor value for the money.
