Do you like the design of the new 2023 BMW X1?
I love it. Took delivery on my X1 with cline package today
Yes
@@teresamiller2310 How is it so far?
It's okay. but relatively underperforming in terms of style relative to Asia auto brands.
I fully agree. Physical buttons, especially for HVAC and other important tasks, distract less because they require less attention, are quicker to use and offer haptical feedback. Unfortunately BMW couldn't resist to offer important features via touch screen or voice control only. And they have thrown away the iDrive Controller - at least for the 1 and 2 series cars. That's a shame. Of course BMW's cost controllers will be very happy because those measures save lots of $ for physical buttons.
Future is touch and voice control.
Question please. I have a 2019 BMW 330xi. The I drive is stating that the July 2022 software update is set up but that I would be notified by BMW when it can be uploaded to the car. Is this correct or did I do something wrong? Thanks.
Did you try to contact the dealer? If you give them your VIN, they should be able to tell you what updates are available.
@@bmwblog Hi. I did and they told me to wait till I hear from BMW. I called the BMW genius and they told me to call the dealer. Not much help there. Any other suggestions? Thanks.
at the 12:03 mark, it showed the rear seat you were on could move fore and aft === is that correct for US/Canadian models? as no other US/Canadian reviews have shown it to move, only the European countries and other parts of the world does that. Only the seat back rake could be adjusted to 3 positions as far as the US/Canadian reviews show.
That was footage from an European model. Good point.
Really good review, especially the idrive section. Even though I generally set up the destination in advance on my 320, I do sometimes scroll through the address book at the lights, and often reach down to change the heating without looking away from the road. Not here. FWIW trunk space is the same as a 320 touring and the rear a bit roomier. And for descents on my forthcoming iX1 I'll be recharging the motor, even if, as Bavarians say of visitors to the Alps from other German regions, my "tourist lights" will be on all the way down
The iX1 is a great choice. I wish we had that in the US
The voice control is pretty awesome. Dials are dying out.
No one is saying that's not cool, but the issue is usability for things like controlling the AC. Nothing beats a simple switch or knob
@@bmwblog well yes the knobs are nice but a lot of millennials and Gen Z are moving away from dials. I think that’s where BmW is moving their focus to with a car like the x1. I also think the new idrive 9 will probably make it easier for climate controls on touch as well.
will my 2023 x1 idrive 8 update to idrive9?
Likely not. It needs a new head unit
Than move up model range for these options and standard stuff.. This is a basic model..
True also
I prefer the voice command and touch screen. Buttons seems so clunky and retro, whether we like it or not - digital interfaces are the way of the future. I like the new X1
I believe that voice control is far mor safe,and the extra few seconds don't bother me.I've ordered the M sport steering wheel in my X Line,so ican change gear.For me the best car in his category.
In iDrive 8.5 and 9, it will get even better
Agree about the lack of physical buttons but BMW are not the only culprits. The Audi Q3 natural competitor is the BMW X3 I think and not the X1, the X1 competes with the Audi Q2?
Size wise, the X1 is close to Q3. The Q5 might be closer to the X5
I don't understand why people keep messing with the climate controls. Just put it in auto, that it, you never need to adjust it again!!
Cause some people like to adjust the airflow direction and other things
Hit mic button..."I am cold"...temp change is never instantaneous. Ever use Google or Alexa at home?
Just changed my mind about buying an X1 after this video. I have a Sienna with 1 knob and a bunch of buttons and it takes me like 20 button pushes to set my climate every day. The previous generation sienna had 3 knobs which I kiss every day. Lack of knobs is a deal breaker.
That's the only downside of the car. Other than that, it's really good
Many US reviewers think car is bumpy, too much road noise, and has “pregnant pauses” in starting up and when stepping hard on throttle. Any comments?
We mentioned that in the review as well. Kinda like a lag when pushing the acceleration. What was interesting was the fact that we didn't experience that in our 2 previous test drives. Granted, different cars. We reached out to BMW to find out more and we will retest that in another car.
on an otherwise good review, harping on the touch screen and voice controls, is like a Blackberry user complaining about an iPhone not having a physical keyboard n 2012. Get over yourself.
It's a difference to use an iPhone while standing still - or control important features in the car while driving around. Most people will stop walking when they use apps on their iPhone. Why? Because they instinctively know that walking around and concentrating on smartphone tasks can be quite complex to coordinate. But when people are driving around with their cars at much higher speeds than pure walking they obviously think that using the touch screen will not distract them at all from concentrating on the current traffic situation.
Maybe, but had a really bad experience trying to dictate destinations with my London accent on a test drive in England. I was asking for Portbury -10 miles away in the direction I'm driving a-and it repeatedly offered me Portbury, Scotland, somewhere I'd have to overnight if I wanted to go there. Maybe with time the car will learn my voice and I will learn to speek BMW better-but I was unimpressed by an algorithm which chose a destination 500 miles away in a direction I wasn't heading over the one I was driving to...
Maybe, but we still need to address it. There are some shortcomings and they are obvious.
The leather looks cheap sis because it’s not real leather
There are actual leather options too
@@bmwblog not for US/Canada, just Sensatec 2 material.
I took delivery on mine today. Sensatec is better. Leather looses is shape and ages. I also work with leather in my design business. The Sensatec will hold its shape and won’t patina
Biggest sad sack
Petrol cars… ew!
Not all markets get the BMW iX1 electric
Electric cars are terrible for the environment. Ew!!!!
It's fake leather so it's not comfortable.
