Introducing the All-New 2023 BMW X1 (U11)

vampire81 · 05-31-2022, 11:37 PM

finally a new steering wheel

ghaffari46 · 05-31-2022, 11:47 PM

This car is so "tall"! Looks like a London taxi.

wesleyan92 · 05-31-2022, 11:52 PM

Shit; my wife wants one.

JustChris · 06-01-2022, 12:06 AM

If the pricing is right, this is going to be very strong in the segment. Great vehicle.

Blubaron79 · 06-01-2022, 12:12 AM

Why a DCT, and not the usual ZF 8 speed?

sand99 · 06-01-2022, 12:12 AM

Thank goodness they didn't screw up the styling with the 2-tier headlights from the LCI X7!

But please bring back the gear shifter BMW!

The FWD BMW's have never had ZF auto's, they have Aisin gearbox's.

This looks fantastic! Great job!

The X1 m35i will start production in mid-2023 (see https://g20.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=901686), so no need to mention it now. It will be revealed in a year or so.

Well that's a bummer. I was excepting to be revealed alongside the regular models… oh welp.

zamboni · 06-01-2022, 01:14 AM

BMW completely destroyed the center cockpit design absolute terrible, take a look at your competitor's design please.

I tend to agree. IDrive controller is an alternative which can be often safer to use. Muscle memory allows the driver to focus on driving.

Tallest · 06-01-2022, 03:47 AM

Good wheel to car ratio.

Much nicer than current gen cars.

A nice safe choice, well done bmw.

well yeah but still … not a 70s mini lol

It has a spare wheel now it looks like BMW have given RFT's the bullet for their small SUV range a welcome relief for some

RustyBitz · 06-01-2022, 04:04 AM

I'm a fan, probably a perfect size for the UK and the small parking spaces.

dangerus_car · 06-01-2022, 05:10 AM

it seems like the X1 is a few thousand $ more than a Honda CRV. This is in comparison of the current CRV gen, which will be replaced by all new CRV sometime this year 2022, and i would assume there will be a price increase which would make it closer to the X1.

Would you rather buy the CRV or X1? I understand CRV is a bigger vehicle, but it's in the same price tier.

Nahlem · 06-01-2022, 06:01 AM

Never mind the CO.uk builder is up you can check it out there :-)

Looks really good. And they finally manage to get BSM to it.

That abomination looks like it should be a forklift dash. Fire the entire design team and start over. Oh, and have an option to customize the gauges, with one being to have 2 large round dials as one of the options - rather than that angular hard-to-read-at-a-glance nonsense.

Hate all you want, it will sell like hotcakes..

Eliminating the the gear shift saves them money per car.

Doctor///M · 06-01-2022, 07:50 AM

Color me impressed. This is a handsome first for a very long time.

I wonder if there's a way to configure the xDrive in vehicle settings, à la M xDrive
