“Price aside, the M35i headlines with a plethora of upgrades over the standard X2, including specifically tuned M Sport suspension and mechanical limited-slip diff, as well as a tweaked eight-speed gearbox with launch control.”

“The BMW X2 is a lower-slung and sportier partner to the more conventionally upright X1. If you’re willing to trade a little of the X1’s practicality for a tad more sportiness and style, this is the premium crossover you’re looking for.”

“The BMW X2 is a car intended to be either loved or hated; to trade in the usual crossover design cues at bolder and more eye-catching visual volume than most cars of its type, even in entry-level form.”

“This is a car that hits the heights in some areas and misses the mark in others, thus feeling as compromised as the brief suggests.”

“To its credit, the BMW X2 takes a good shot as dispelling the idea that crossovers have to be inherently worse than the hatchbacks on which they’re usually based. Not only does the X2 look rather sharp, it drives well and has comparable levels of practicality to a 1 Series.”

“It’d be easy to be cynical about the BMW X2 M35i but that would be doing a hugely competent car a sizeable disservice.”

“The BMW X2 comes with loads of space, stand-out looks and plenty of equipment. Even with the slightly higher starting price than its rivals, the X2 is a worthy competitor in the segment and should grab your attention if you’re after a new crossover.”

“The BMW X2 is a compact SUV with a stylish body and a well-made interior but many alternatives are more comfortable and better at carrying lots of tall passengers.”

“Other than the distinctive body style, the X2 is a fairly traditional BMW. The all-wheel drive system provides excellent grip, the engine delivers good efficiency, and the overall driving experience has the normal BMW genes, if not the agility that might be expected based on the appearance of the X2.”

“The BMW X2 handles much better than the X1 on which it is based, with less body roll in corners, sharper steering and better throttle response. The result is a crossover which is actually quite enjoyable to drive. Yes, you read that right.”

“Sporty, swoopy and luxurious, the BMW X2 adds some fun and opulence into the otherwise monotone world of compact crossovers. Family buyers might take issue with the high price tag and lack of interior space, but the X2 makes a strong case for itself in an ever overcrowded SUV market.”

“Out on the open road, the BMW X2 proves to be a better driving car than the X1. It’s sharper and feels noticeably more agile. This is helped by a lower-mounted body, which allows the car to be more manoeuvrable, and, in M Sport form, it has a lowered ride height, too.”

“Segment-buster it might be, but this new BMW feels surprisingly familiar and natural. Dynamically sound, it also benefits from BMW’s range of highly fuel-efficient and powerful engines. At heart this is a likeable car, though we’re at a loss to explain exactly why it’s an SUV.”

“The BMW X2 is a rare example of sporty compact SUV crossover. While you may think it might be a car of compromises, it handles remarkably well for a crossover and yet remains fairly practical.” Rated a BEST BUY.
