Looks like dealerships are starting to receive the new X1s

Actually just saw that pop up on my feed before I checked here. For BMW Genius, that guy seems a little misinformed about the product he's reviewing.

Also.....and this is me just nitpicking, he's using a Osmo or other gimbal to film with his iPhone, but I don't think he knows how to use it, or if it's even turned on. The camera work would've been better had he just been holding the phone in his hand lol.

LOL. Also very judgmental! Everyone is an expert or genius these days

But this review does give first picture of wheels with no covers in detail.
Very interesting.

While I'm generally not a fan of wheel covers in general, they look pretty good. Also much cheaper to replace for times when you might accidentally make them kiss the curb. I'm actually looking at some aftermarket wheels right now, but I'll need more measurements before I can decide what I'm going to throw on there.

Also, when the heck did BMW switch over to a 5x112 bolt pattern?! They've been 5x120 forever, even my 2020 4 series is 5x120. If I had known that, I might've kept some of my rims from my VW!

At least since 2015, when the F48 X1 came out. Trying to figure out whether my 18” 570M winter wheels from our 2019 X1 will fit on the new one…

Here's another one

I'm wondering if Alex on Autos will be dropping a review after these can officially go on sale tomorrow

those videos made me realize why I was attracted to the 2023 X1. I actually want a nice 3-series wagon, which BMW refuses to sell in the US. Also, I love boxy Volvos and Subarus.

I've always been a wagon guy. (including Mercedes W203 C-class wagon, BMW 325i wagon, Volvo 740 wagon, Nissan Maxima wagon, Mercedes W210 E-class wagon)

since nobody really sells wagons anymore, I'm just gonna have to settle with a small SUV...(not really a wagon, but close enough)
