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.

Amazing Luxury Package

The car is very underrated in the era of BMW & Mercs, Overall the package is outstanding, the interiors are class-leading plush leather & top-class fit and finishes, and 8 yr of a comprehensive warranty, and Lexus protection are additional cheery on the cake. The only thing is EMT, not sure how it would pan out over the years. Super excited to own the car & enjoy a trouble-free ownership experience.
