Opinions of owners vary. Some describe their BMW X1 vehicles as spacious, having enough cargo space, reliable, and fun to drive. Drawbacks, on the other side, such as cheap interior materials, poor safety and noise cancellation, lack of features in the first generation vehicles, and issues with the 2.0-liter diesel engine that lead to the need of its replacement, seem to outnumber the positive sides.
