What reviewers say

Reviewers agree the X2 is more practical than its sloping roof suggests, with a smart, high-tech cabin and tidy handling. The common criticisms are a stiff ride, especially in the M35i, climate and other controls moved into the touchscreen, and a high price next to the X1; Autocar found the M35i quick but short on feel.
