బిఎండబ్ల్యూ x1 [2013-2016] వినియోగదారుల రివ్యూలు

I bought X1 instead of 320d as i was driving Coupe(s) for a long time. And confidently can say that I made a perfect decision. 

Exterior

The Exterior is curvy and sudden slides at times but that make the style statement of BMW. It does have perfect figure to give it a second look. Shows the legacy of BMW from the front and the back is perfectly meaty. Having a big arch for the rear tyres gives a feel of macho feeling.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

Interior is again soft and leathered, awesome carpets to feel like youre in the top of the line brand vehicle. Cabin is silent and filters out the traffic noise to enjoy a company fitted music system thats quite better than others. The controls are handy and on steering and you hardly need to do anything on the dashboard except you want to keep on fiddling with it. One can get used to it by driving it for couple of miles. The steering is tilt and telesopic. You need some shoulders to drive this car as the steering is not featherlite. However, its perfectly complimented with auto gearbox and both of your hands are on steering all times. The OVRMs are perfectly controlable and you can electrically fold them while parked at narrow spaces. The front seats are electrically adjustable sets to your best requirement. The rear seat to me was uncomfortable as the angle of the seat is a bit more straight than what i preferred. But with arm rest and plenty of legroom one can snooze on long drives easily. 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

Engine is refined and oozes out that 184 BHP with Torque as required. Overtaking is like a blink of an eye for this car. Chandigarh to Pushkar in Rajasthan (650Kms) was flat 6 hours 20 mins with no stop over. That was THE Best drive i could make it and you just dont feel sometimes that  you are 170-180+ The best i could take this was 205 for couple of minutes between Jaipur and Ajmer. However, the best speed i could see it on a long drive for this car is around 130. Its takes on the highway manoverabliity quite briliantly at this speed. The city driving economy is around 10 and sometimes even 12 based on the conditions. The short autogears help you drive anywhere. Night driving is also a pleasure as the lamps are awesome. 

Ride Quality & Handling

Try turning this car at 80-85kmph on a 90 degrees turn and while you can hear that skeetch but Zero body roll. Thats the perfection. You do feel large potholes but the one we normally have on Indian roads goes unnoticed. I have beaten Audis and Mercs many times on a road racing. There is no competition from any brand anyway.

Final Words

Everybody likes to move on from the common cars to these top of the line brands and what should be kept in mind is the power, comfort and safety. This car give you all. And mind you THE SERVICE IS NOT JUST WONDERFUL BUT AWESOME. You dont need to remember what is required when. BMW Service helps you managing it.

Areas of improvement  

Boot space is quite irritating at times. I could not fit two big suitcase and a bag while coming from overseas trips
