Road Tripping The 2023 BMW X1 — What's it Like?

I can't see if the navigation works together with the head up display?

Just got our X1 M Sport Package a month ago and I could say the looks itself is way more better than the Xline package. Suspension is also a big difference which makes our road trips really comfy.

I don't trust anyone that doesn't use hand sanitizer after pumping fuel

"In a car like this, that's what you need." Re: DCT. bro what.

I am so glad reviewers give people little insights into what the believe and how they think so I can calibrate my trust in them. I love the "jerky" feel of the DCT. It makes it feel lively.

couldn't really heard that comparison to Mazda cx30...really curious of your impression between those 2 cars as it's quite big money difference

why not lexus ux250h

Em needs a bra

my biggest issue is that center console... they should have just made it a traditional console...

I loved this video!!! shows practicality of the features, good points mentioned to consider while purchasing. Hope to see more videos with different popular vehicles. Thanks!

Did you say cx-30? How could you??😂❤

I got X1 sdrive(there was no xdrive in Korea when I bought the car) three months ago. I love the interior(that's why I bought it), but my body starts to hurt after driving a while. Driving in the city is okay but highway driving is terrible. Road noise is loud and the ride is too stiff. I used to drive A4 and.. I miss my audi.

Is ID8or ID9?

Thinking of getting this one or the 228i or the 230i

I'm finding the X1 very difficult to overlook. I need to find one on the lot to look for myself, but on paper the interior passenger and cargo space both look to be on par with the Toyota Venza yet with smaller exterior dimensions. It even competes on fuel efficiency without being a hybrid and is similar in price to the Limited Venza but likely a whole lot more fun to drive and the interior to me personally looks much better.

the M package is a must to have, just for the active M suspension and it looks way better then this one with the X line package

I think in the US, we’re so conditioned to how torque converter automatics feel that a dual clutch comes around and we think there’s something wrong with it because it doesn’t behave like a traditional automatic. That being said, I’ve driven the Audi A3 and the Q5, both have dual-clutches, and they’ve tuned it to drive really well in city driving conditions.

Not gonna lie, I absolutely love the new BMW interiors.

🇬🇧 Havha, I really wasn’t expecting you to come out with the word ‘Petrol’ because that’s what us Brits call it, I was expecting ‘Gas’ or Gasoline’. Of course we have Diesel which is used a lot more in our cars & vans. Nice to see some City of Chicago driving there too!

It’s not specked with the driving assistant pro which would have the adaptive cruise control, if it was present the cruise control would toggle with the left hand arrow button between cruise control modes. Adaptive cruise control is an option after purchase through connected drive for £750 uk so I guess around the same in $, for unlimited use

Just curious what is that navigation app youre using here?

Awww emily is so cute. Love the road trip vids. So jealous u get to do that. I’d love to road trip in press cars!

No parking brake? That (P) button on center is Park gear or Parking brake?

Good review. BMW 8 gear automatic is terrible, if 7 speed is worse I need to reconsider my purchases in the future.

The x1 m35i will have a high ouput b48. I believe its the same engine in the X2 m35i. And the did a 0-60 in 4.9sec.

I read up on the dual clutch transmission. Between that and the start stop everyone hates, no go. Nice video though.

400th like. Also, this is such an amazing car. It's nice to see BMW properly back to form.

I was considering the x1 but ended up with the nx because of autopilot. I don’t understand why bmw doesn’t have it across the board in 2023.

Just love it

Im not a fan of the new interior. I was hoping bmw would stick to the X3 interior or something. :( although i am happy they finally included a blind spot monitor...those are useful even if you check your blind spot with your shoulder. It isnt aways accurate

I wil say iDrive 8 is quite confusing, as someone whose driven a number of BMW's, I have found that this new generation of iDrive is quite difficult to navigate and has more menus than ever. I would probably get a used X3 over this, the plusher interior and extra space would definitely be worth it for me

Love the couple aspect of the roadtrip! Makes it relatable on another level, hope to see more like it!

I feel hella single😭

They have a package for all the driver aids. It’s one complaint I have with German cars in general is that you have to add a package to get adaptive cruise ext. at that price point it should be standard. But I also wonder if they will move adaptive cruise lane keeping to their subscription based options, provided the gov does not mandate it standard like back up camera.

My little sister just got her x1 a few days ago she loves everything about it the only complaint is the DCT transmission sometimes hesitating of the line and having to use the touchscreen for everything.

Doing a road trip with Emily’s cx30 would be nice

Definitely should keep her on as a cohost if she wants to be. You work really well with a partner.

You guys seem so perfectly matched. Wishing y'all luck

You were 5' 10" last one I watched?

Are you cheating on Charlie with Emily?

We just came back from Chicago going back to Sterling Heights as well. Small world… averaged 31ish mpg in the 23’ sorento hybrid. Allegedly going 79 mph as well. It did great, such a Great short road trip test for sure.

How do the tires feel in high speed? Seems like they have poor road grip.

In Germany, we also have that trucks overtake each other by hours. We call it "elephant race". 😁 Great review of the car, was fun to look at, thanks for that!

How much performance and economy would be sacrificed if they designed this vehicle to run on regular gas?

Great video of you two! I'm glad I didn't buy one!! Frankly, I'm going to buy a '24 Crosstrek Limited.

cutesr couple ever. I'm sorry but she took all the attention from the car lol

This car is DOA for me because of the transmission. Nope nope nope.

Hope you enjoyed your time here in Chicago!

Emily seems like a great co-pilot! 😂

You both are absolutely delightful! 😊
