BMW x1 review

It's a very good car having both interior and exterior nice designs and very comfortable, smooth, good mileage. Just go for it without any doubt. I'm sure will be never disappointed by this car.

Luxurious sportiness

Not buying but driving the amazing car feels like luxurious sportiness. I achieved 250 km/h in a few minutes with amazing performances with a luxurious interior, looks quite good but not so sporty. Maintenance is a little bit higher in this segment and maintaining the car is properly heavy The negative thing is absolutely ground clearance on Indian roads diesel engine noise is coming into the cabin of the car.
