X1 [Official] The new 2022 BMW X1 and iX1


The BMW X1 is a line of cars produced by BMW since 2009. A subcompact luxury crossover class, the first-generation X1 was based on the E90 3 Series and offered rear-wheel drive layout as standard. The second-generation X1 marked the switch to a front-wheel-drive-based layout using the UKL2 platform shared with the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer and the Mini Countryman.

Winner! Looking like a proper SAV, grown in size and matured. And certainly bigger than the first generation X3 (E83).
 
Another tacky VAN.

I like just the rear. After the ambitious 7er I knew that they will come out with a turd.

Hard to appreciate the downmarket mess. Still much better than the EQA for what it is.
 
The dashboard is almost the same as that of the 2AT, but it has some marked differences, the door panels are not very visible but they are totally different at first glance, I will comment on the rest later when I appreciate it well, but I really like what I see
 
2 Series Active Tourer inteior looks spot on inside the car.

From the b-pillar rearward the car is dynamic with a very interesting bumper design. Shame that the front end is rodent-like.
 
Dislike for the absence of 'aviation style' buckle-shaped door pulls, which have otherwise been spreading to a large part of the lineup since around 2018 -- not only are they different esthetically in a good way from the very commonly used stick-shaped door pulls, not only do they give off a sense of sturdiness that's always welcome with controls you are constantly interacting with, most importantly they genuinely perform better ergonomically, as they allow for the most direct door opening motion by a simple wrist flexion, no twisting the wrist downwards on top of that

As seen on the leaked visuals, BMW now claims these stick-shaped door pulls somehow have a "familiar X model design", which doesn't make any sense: the X5, X6, X7 and even the not yet launched XM all have the buckle-shaped door pulls (the X3/X4 still have the older stick-shape design due to having been launched earlier, and the X2 mimicks the current X1). Looks like unnecessary downgrading for the latest lower-end FWD-based models: 2er AT, now X1, likely next X2.

These are better when opening the door the "Dutch" way. Which means opening the door with the right hand so one can look over the shoulder to see if there is an upcoming car/bike.
 
Nice!

this wil replace my current 2.5i

bring on the 300hp mperformance version.
 
It has a friendly face, with a profile and rear that are extremely nice and as a whole they managed it big time, again a very pronounced and notorious change of generation that is a hit, charming....
