Black BMW X1 from a front three-quarter

Black on Cream

Black BMWX1

The smallest BMW that still feels like one, with a cream cabin that costs nothing extra to look expensive in.

A hundred and two dollars a day, and nobody at the valet can tell which end of the range it came from.

The X1 is the entry to BMW, and the interesting thing about this one is the cabin — cream hide against black paint, which is a specification usually two model lines further up. Five seats, a proper boot, and a footprint that makes Los Angeles parking a non-event.

Small BMWs are usually sold on the badge and forgiven their interiors. This one does not need forgiving: the seats are cream, the dashboard has real switches under the screen, and the driving position is low enough that it does not feel like a tall car pretending.

It is the sensible booking — the airport run, the week of meetings, the car you leave with a valet without thinking about it — for less than most of this issue costs in an afternoon.

Queries

How much does it cost to rent a BMW X1 in Los Angeles?
The black X1 is $102 a day, with multi-day stays discounted. Delivery to our Beverly Hills partner hotels is complimentary.
Is it big enough for luggage?
Five seats and a boot that takes a weekend for four. For a full week with the same four people, the X5 or the GLB is the better call.
Can I see the dates before I call?
Yes — the diary on this page is the live fleet calendar. If a date is open there, it is open.
