    • @Nicolas-dp5hx
      @Nicolas-dp5hx 4 месяца назад +7

      Those ugly designs are due to 5 factors:
      1. Chinese Market. From now on, the more conservative designed cars will be X1, X3, X5 and 1,3,5 series. The others will have those big grills and etc…
      2. Chinese like to be driven and show up more than everything
      3. CEO’s decision, because the design team always come up with 3 different models, and the CEO decides which one to produce
      4. EV drag coefficient, because now these models have a full EV variation
      5. Try to reach younger conseumers
      This is all strategy. In my opinion, a wrong one, but…

  • @A.D.Ryan93

    Honestly there is something very wrong with the exterior design...i just don't know how to explain. The side profile alone just looks weird, the overall proportions seem to be completely off.

    why BMW is putting soft materials in the rear doors in the X2 and not in the X1 is a mystery. Nice cars but prices are out of control nowadays. Nice review Thomas

    • @Nicolas-dp5hx
      @Nicolas-dp5hx 4 месяца назад

      The reason for those prices now it’s because, after the pandemic, all automakers noticed that is better to fight for profit on a unit sold over having more market share

    • @Nicolas-dp5hx
      @Nicolas-dp5hx 4 месяца назад +1

      And regarding the materials, the difference between the X1 and X2 rear door panels it’s just that in the X2, there is a foam layer between the plastic shell and the rapped PVC vinyl
      Because the X1 doesn’t have this foam layer, gives the sensation it’s hard, but both of them have a PVC vinyl added to the hard plastic shell
      Only the lower part is hard plastic

    Hey, thanks for the excellent review of the new X2s, which are ready to go on sale this coming Monday, March 4th. Yes, I was originally dreaming of ordering an X6 M, moving up from my leased full-boat X3 M, but when I saw the initial media coverage of this car back in November, I said, What the hell, maybe this would be a more appropriate vehicle for me, and my wife too, now that we're in our early 80s. So, I plopped down a deposit and "ordered" one, the first week of December, a Vegas red M35i with all the options like my X3. It's less than half the price of the X6, $20K less than another X3 M, and per your review, probably going to be a load of fun for an active old geezer who's lived life with performance cars, airplanes, motorcycles, boats, and... women. At just over $60K, the car's a deal, particularly contrasted with "lighter" versions of M-B AMGs, Jags, Audis, etc. Delivery could be in three months or so to Pennsylvania, USA. I've learned that getting a BMW from Greer, SC, is a hell of a lot quicker and more predictable than from the plant in Regensburg. Obviously. Now as for your soft criticisms of the M35i, plus those of others on RUclips, sure, the car's a compromise. What car isn't? Even the fire-breathing X6 M dream car. So's life. So I'm looking forward to buzzing around in my little Red Rocket whenever it shows up. Again, it's a bargain in my opinion. And again, thanks for the super review. And... in my 80s, I still try to live by the philosophy behind Sheryl Crow's old song, "All I wanna do is have some fun..." Warum nicht?

  • @drunkenwhiskeyeu
    @drunkenwhiskeyeu 5 месяцев назад +5

    I really could see myself driving this around town, it does the trick pretty nicely - boot big enough for your shopping, aggressive and fast enough to compensate for anything you need to compensate for. But the pricing, it's so effing off! In my country of Czechia this model is 1.86 million CZK = 74.400 EUR give or take. A 6-month-old BMW X5 50e with 20-25k km on the odometer can be had for about 96.000 EUR in a configuration that initially was around 130.000 EUR. Last but not least the 50e has even better acceleration figures and overall dynamic.
    The X2 M35i is a nice piece of kit but it will depreciate like crazy! I think they are trying to milk the 2024 market before the new X3 drops, because there is nothing German and premium in the small SUV market on this price end. Sure, there is the new GLC, but it's also crazy expensive. Other than that, there's the old X3, super old Audis (Q3/5), and not-at-all cheap new Tiguan. The sensible thing to do would be to wait a few months and then take out private leasing on this, or wait until the new X3 drops and then pick this one up for about half the price. It's a damn shame, from all the videos out there on RUclips this seems to drive really smoothly.

    It seems like they are on the right track with the M35i. This kind of dynamic setup is what people are drawn to BMW for. If you want comfort get a 28i w/out M suspension. The interior is special on these also, the ergonomics/design/quality. It's compact but not claustrophobic. They really did an excellent job with the X1/X2.

    Thomas - you've made some brief references to differences between the new 2025 MiniCooper Countryman JCW and the BMW X1 and X2 (m35i). I wonder if it would make sense to create a short "addendum" that is your opinion related to the strengths and weaknesses of the two models (as all are based on the same U11 platform). In other words, similar to what you did with the X1 and the X3, and which one would YOU buy?

      Having an M340i with the fake engine noise I can tell you, as soon as you put it in eco it disappears. Could be driving a 320i, but stick it in sport and then it boosts the noise. Either way, if you want peace and quiet you probably shouldn’t be looking at the M/M-lite models.

    BMW is really difficult at the moment.
    The design looks completely inharmonious, but also not sporty or powerful. I don't understand what kind of feeling they are trying to convey.
    The voice control is at a high level, but it's just annoying and uncomfortable when you have to operate everything by voice. While driving, this UI is the plague and a far cry from the premium feel suggested by the price.
    I have just driven the i5 M60. Incredible power (you actually need a certificate of proficiency to drive something like this - i mean it), great quality and then a glass roof that doesn't open, the cheapest hard plastic right in the door handle and this creepy operating system.
    There's so much light and shade here that I can't see how you can legitimize premium prices anymore. Very sad

    @rimmerblues1586 4 месяца назад

    It's always compared to the X6, does no one like the X4? Honestly in the EU only the iX2 makes sense over the smaller ICE engines. M35i might be okay but it's still slower & larger than the last-gen model with no improvements in rear passenger space. Also looks like the ride quality is the same as last-gen, i.e., even if you have the non-M-suspension the ride is still too firm but then still too much sway, so not comfortable or sporty - stick with the hard m-sport for better stability. With the launch control i'm sure i heard/saw the front-wheels scrabble for grip, still even with xDrive it's still _too_ front-wheel biased. Very expensive item just for brand fashion.

    The whole second half of this car looks FIAT Multipla bad. It's quite a feat to look bad from every angle.
    From the side, the back looks weirdly uplifted, like the car was rear ended and the back wheel axle was comically pushed forward lifting the whole back.
    From the rear it looks like a weird bubble that they ran out of ideas how to correct so they proceeded to put lipstick on the pig. Slap on a diffuser, a TALL spoiler, BIG exhausts, anything to hide the swine.
    The result looks like a worse version of the latest Peugeot 408, something that should be impossible and yet here it is.
    And that's before discussing utility. X6 and especially X4 are both heavily compromised for "the looks". That chopped back eats into what the car can do but here, due to the car being so small overall, the chop makes the compromise truly tragic.

    • @andyp7449

    I agree, I doesn’t make sense for me either. BMW should never build a car like this, but that’s their strategy internally. Trust me, I know what I’m saying.
    They make a lot of research in what type of design consumer wants. If the X2 looks ugly like this, it’s because people who will buy X2 want it that way
    I take as another example the XM. For me, the ugliest car BMW made, but you be surprised how many costumers liked it (rappers, artists, UAE costumers…)
    It’s sad 😢
