BMW X1 Review - Secret hot hatch

BY budi Mulyadi



Many people love hot doors. They are smart, vibrant and fun, designed for enthusiasts who crave the occasional wave of adrenaline. DNA has been behind all the hot slot essentially the same kind of all started with the original Golf GTI, with the wheels tucked in every corner, the engine will work hard and loads of street credibility.
Error .. Wait a minute. "Is not the BMW X1?


Yes it is, but she remembered us for a period of time. For all purposes of the BMW X1 slot secret 3.0i warm, but can absorb not only the roads in general, but also the kitchen sink! What we have here is an SUV (or SAV - Sport Activity Vehicle for BMW, as he likes to call it), which manages and operates as a compact sports car is very good. Or, if you will, hot slot can carry almost everything you can expect from an SUV. Confused? Should be, but Jenkyl and Hyde character best sums theX1.


Throw in a number of roles and embrace the desired path with perseverance and composure only BMW SUV capable of intelligent payment, and the AWD system, which allows the infinite, and the distribution of a fully variable torque between front and rear, which decreased significantly - as well as on the wheel. This flexibility, along with the comment of "sport" and promises that are either from the driver.

But this is only half the story. 3.0 in the construction line and six making 231 hp and 300 Nm of torque, x1, muscle, and flexible enough to harness the talents the most of your work. Add to Joy is one of the six-speed automatic that even the "manual only" fan support. Is sensitive and quick to respond to the contribution of the right leg, and less intelligent in the selection of the Arts in decline, and provides engine braking, even before entering Steptronic manual gear to run or two. It is also compatible with the cost of the delay by a group of anchors that are progressive in appearance and easy to change, and useful to stop the car weighs over 1800 kilograms.

However, the communication module of the guidelines is Beemers - Front-wheel drive in one direction - which may be due to the energy that is channeled through the two bridges. It is light at low speeds, but weighing only with increasing speed. What is missing is the feedback associated with rear-wheel drive BMW. There is free from any kind of contact, and only less.

But here's where the similarities between the hole and ends with a hot X1. Upon receipt instead of the internal model work of BMW sedan, the cabin X1 is a good place with enough room for passengers. But it is fair to all, and very firm front seats (with the amendments made by the Authority) are almost the only consolation, and you can get the feel of sitting on top of them, instead of being in poor state, despite the comfortable driving position is not a problem with adjustable seats Several wheel. Of course, the panoramic glass roof that extends almost the length of the cover, of course, brighter and more spacious cabin.

Other interesting features include intelligent support folding cup is just under the air vent on the passenger side against a fully equipped first aid in the front passenger seat. Integrated stereo as Teutonic as they come, with simplified management and six-disc CD changer built into the armrest. bi-xenon adaptive headlights are standard, and follow the direction of the wheel, and aims to shed light on how to improve security.

Gates can be a bit hotter than two days carrying more baggage. Can be stored until the golf bag full size proposal is difficult. This is where X1 is superior. A flurry of buying furniture not be a problem unless the intention of having the transport bed. With a maximum of 1,560 liters of luggage, tableware and large suitcases, plus live comfortably in the back of a journey back in Ipoh X1 five.

For me, the X1 is to bring the hatch "hot, and deal comfortably with the best of them is still a large number of multiple functions that can not be. Amateur rich, who must balance the appetite control and fun to be out the whole family, this is your name on it.
