Market and Model
X1 pricing starts from around £29,000 but most variants are sold in the £30,000-£35,000 bracket. The standard specification is pretty complete, running to include BMW's iDrive operating system with its high-resolution 8.8-inch colour display, a six-speaker audio system, plus a USB socket. Also standard are LED daytime driving lights, an automatic tailgate, front foglamps, remote-controlled central locking and keyless ignition, plus electric windows, electrically adjustable and heated exterior mirrors and a leather steering wheel adjustable for height and reach. Options across the range include a panoramic glass roof, a DAB radio, a larger control screen and a Head-up display.
The various 'SE', 'xLine', 'Sport' and 'M Sport' trim levels are differentiated by different colour grilles, side skirts and air intakes, as well as by various different kinds of sports seat. The 'M Sport version' comes equipped with upgraded M Sport suspension and the M Aerodynamics package. It also features Heated Front Seats, Folding Exterior Mirrors, Extended Lighting as well as Dakota Leather upholstery as standard. The front apron, side skirts, wheel arch trim, diffuser and cladding on the BMW X1 M Sport come in body colour. Particularly eye-catching are features such as air intakes for the newly designed bumper (with Air Curtain Technology) that are even larger than on the other model variants.
Cost of Ownership
All the fuel figures we'll quote are WLTP-rated; the CO2 readings are NEDC-spec. The sDrive 18i petrol model manages up to 56.5mpg and up to 122g/km of CO2. The 2.0-litre petrol X1 xDrive 20i model is quick, but its official WLTP combined cycle fuel consumption is up to 51.4mpg, with CO2 emissions of up to 140g/km. Turbocharging and common-rail direct injection imbue the preferable diesel engines with strong efficiency. With auto transmission as standard, the 190hp xDrive 20d diesel posts figures of up to 55.4mpg and 123g/km. For the xDrive 18d, it's up to 55.4mpg and 122g/km. For the sDrive 18d, it's up to 53.3mpg and up to 113g/km. All these figures assume that you've chosen to use the standard 'Drive Performance Control' system in its most frugal 'ECO PRO' setting. If you want to do better, then you need to ask your dealer about the xDrive 25e petrol/electric plug-in hybrid version. This blends its petrol engine with a 9.7 kWh battery that enables it to cover more than 31 miles on electric power alone.
Summary
In second generation form, the X1 set its sights a little higher in terms of quality and drive dynamics and has reaped the rewards in this growing market. This revised version builds on that step forward. Yes, there are smarter and more purposeful-looking SUVs and Crossovers you could buy for the same kind of money, but against those, this BMW offers a range of unique selling points. It's alone in this segment in offering the option of a rewarding rear-wheel drive layout. And a smooth and sophisticated 8-speed automatic gearbox. Plus you get ride quality that's arguably best in class.
It all adds up to a car very well worth short-listing if you're looking for a satisfying ownership proposition amongst the many premium compact SUVs and Crossovers now on sale. It still isn't an obvious choice. But now, it's one you might just enjoy making.

The X1 is a brilliant car. Best family car we’ve ever had. We love it. 😊
Fantastic to hear you're loving your X1 🙏
I’ve had X1 for 4 years, the first one 2017 mod, for theee years and the newest one since january 2020.
Never had any problems at all with them! So incredible reliable!!
That is not what I would call "incredible reliable", as I would expect a vehicle only three years old to not have any problems. Now, if it went 15 years with no problems besides maintenance-related issues, I'd call that "incredibl(y) reliable".
ozzierabbit well, I’ve had bmw since 1997 , all 5-series an never had a problem with them either. loved all of them like I love X1!
Thats reliable to me🌞and thats why I never changed from bmw👍I’ve had Ford, Mercedes Benz before but still prefere bmw❣️
ozzierabbit I did in january 2020❣️
@@ozzierabbit587 if anyone don't face any problem with car within 15 to 20 years then that company have to be closed permanently.... Lol logic....
Normal common problem will be happened its normal
If you really good care of your car may be bmw or other like honda or Mitsubishi then other brands car will give you very good service upto 20 years and this is the real fact, so don't think and talk like illiterate 👉
My wife has a 2015 xdrive28i and she loves it...just got it last week and it's amazing..I probably won't like working on it but it's fun to drive...I love the twin turbos, awd, gas mileage and the little 2.0 has alot of pep in it. I drive a 2010 liberty 3.7 so being able to get into something smooth and comfortable when we go out is nice. Big difference, and now I'm thinking of getting a BMW or Mercedes once my jeep is paid off.
Stumbled on this review. Excellent honest and well presented- might need to now test drive one of these 😉
That's great to hear, James 👍 If you're interested in getting the BMW X1, we can explore your options to find the most affordable solution. Fill-in this quick form and we'll get back to you: bit.ly/39YHCml
Had my X1 20d auto for 3 years after changing from a 320i xdrive touring. Couple of faults, EGR sensor failed and have had a front wheel bearing fail at 25,000 miles. Add a tdi tuning box and you have a fast, smooth and economical vehicle. Will probably go for another one however the xc40 does look nice.
partly used this video when researching to purchase my 2020 BMW X1, one year on, and it’s one of the best purchases I’ve ever made! I went with a 2020 face-lifted X1 20i xDrive M Sport model and it's amazing. it’s extremely comfortable, it’s very, very quiet to drive, making it feel highly luxurious, it’s also almost 200 hp, which is more than quick enough on the UK roads too. I have another car which is a 2020 Mercedes a class, which is a fully kitted out AMG line with premium package etc, and the X1 blows it out of the water in almost every respect, which is surprising, considering they both cost the same...

How much did you pay for it?
Love my X1 1.8, but being petrol it’s only returning 31mpg, ouch! But big enough to get a mountain bike in the back and very comfortable. I’ve nearly had it three years and never had a single issue with. Will probably replace it with another next year... I considered the X2 which is similarly priced but looks too small..
Very happy with my X1 so far. Picked it up 2 months ago. Went for the SLine 18d with loads of extras and it can really move for an SUV, especially in sport mode.
I know im asking randomly but does any of you know a tool to log back into an Instagram account..?
I was dumb lost the account password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me
@Cason Ryder Instablaster =)
@Rohan Samuel Thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and Im in the hacking process now.
I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Rohan Samuel It worked and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thank you so much, you saved my ass !
@Cason Ryder You are welcome :D
I have been watching lately reviews of the new french wagons and suv in this segment and the one above. I know , the reliability talk and so on but still for the money paid one might get more of a car if not hypnotized by the badge.
넘 예뻐서 갖고싶어요 ^^
I want a new X1 so much ^^
It looks beautiful !
Love my X1!!!
In America, we have the X1 in either sDrive28i (FWD) or xDrive28i (AWD), of which we have only one engine choice, a 228hp 2.0 liter twin power turbo 4 cylinder, with an 8-speed automatic being our only choice of transmissions. Our base model starts at $36,195.
Needless to say, I America, where bigger will always be better in their minds, the X1 is selling well enough, just not 1 out of every 10.
I’m on my second x1 now👍I love it even more now❣️❣️
How is the reliability? Break down and repairs for new one?
We have a 1.6d automatic which is more ten enough for normal driving. Excellent multimediasystem, premium quality. Really the best in class...
Just got my x1 today 2012 literally just drove it well happy with it. Had the Audi q3 before although the Audi is quicker the x1 is far more roomy and seem to get a lot more with it the engine is nice n quite also
That's fantastic to hear, we hope you continue to enjoy your X1!
I enjoy driving on my MY17 X1 18d msport which I feel is one of the best car I ever had cause it's good looking, fun to drive and practical. Reliability is one of my big concern for imported cars to Japan like this as I think reliability of Japanese cars is the best in the world but my X1 has never had any problem so far. I had several problems on my old VW or Volvo but quality of them could be getting better these days.
I think there's no difference between 2.0d and 1.8d in terms of reliability. Actually 1.8d is reliable so far.
My MY17 18d SE, X1 is every car I’d ever want. ♥️ I love it to bits.
Stylish, comfortable and spacious.
My only gripe. And it is a BIG one. The latest ‘packs only con’ means that I cannot spec my 2020 car as I want it.
If you only want folding mirrors? That’ll be £1,600 please Sir/Madam!
If you only want a dimming rear view mirror? £700
Etc, etc.
No longer can you spec individual options even though many are costed singularly. You have to buy a ‘pack’ consisting of a number of options.
They’ve added lesser sought after options, such as a heated steering wheel, to more popular options to shift them.
It’s not just BMW though. Nearly all are at it now.
They say it’s to streamline manufacturing but it’s not. It’s a con.
End on a high. That new colour is absolutely fantastic. ♥️👏👏
And very informative vid. 👏👏 Thank you.
Exactly what i've found. I have a 220i Active Tourer - which is pretty much the same car in a different shell - and considering whether to get another at end of lease or an X1, however i too have found the same speccing issues for both models, including no more red paint option for the AT! The base cost has also increased significantly. I think an AT new model is out this year (2021) but i can see the "packs" still being awkwardly filled. It's very frustrating and off-putting to the brand :(
@@rimmerblues1586 The AT is a great car.
Sadly the packs con is commonplace now. Many manufacturers do it.
I have just changed and went for an XC40 this time. It’s a lovely car but I do miss the BMW in some respects. Especially the gearbox and given that it had an update that fixed some things that annoyed me. This mainly being the change to full led lights. (I paid nearly £1k extra for this in my X1).
I do think, though, that if you went for an X1, you would be not be disappointed.
Good luck.
Thank You.
Got the 2021 X1 xDrive 25e (hybrid). Fast, and 4x4 is great in Finland in winter-really like it!
Great to hear you're enjoying your new car, Benny!!
It doesn’t self charge right? Installing a charging point where I live is very difficult. Block of flats! But my company is offering the hybrid
@@wilkinsonyachtbrokerUK Yes Shazza, live in a house and have a wall box. Works for me. It can selfcharge, but you get higher consumption (idea is to drive on the motorway using petrol and ”save” electricty when passing through cities). All in all, siuts me well. But I wouldn’t mind the X5 45e😁.
You can charge it through a normal socket, but takes about 7 hrs. Maybe at work?
Brilliant review
Hi R,
Thank you.
Very happy indeed with 2017 M Sport 2.0i XDrive Auto which I bought last summer - can't really fault it in any way, Bargain at £23k with from main dealer with decent miles. Only bug is couldn't find one with memory seats which I have on other cars and I miss - they seem to be very scarce in used car market. So if the 2020 model is an improvement it will be excellent.
Pleased with my 2020 model. Very smooth and easy to drive. Only irritating points are the indicator that is not easy to cancel without indicating in the opposite direction.. Can be dangerous. The other is the great idea of having a digital speedometer displayed next to the speed limit disappears when you use the satnav. Really silly.
"Only irritating points are the indicator that is not easy to cancel without indicating in the opposite direction" If you didn't find out already... just indicate the same direction again to cancel. 👍
Ive always liked the newer shape X1, its not bloated like the X3 or the nasty X5 which is just vulgar. Drove the X drive version 2 litre diesel recently, it was impressive. Really good ride quality and handling.
Yeah it’s not too big it’s just the right size
X1 is built on a front wheel drive configuration .... does it have a 50:50 weight distribution? I thought it’s not ?!
I rented one of these on holiday recently, and I want one for myself!
I own one. My first lux vehicle fun to drive lots of perks like memory burn for cds place a cd in press record and e min it's downloaded to the vehicle. When parked you can watch movies from the video screen. With all the bmw perks
Let us know when you're ready to get one Gerry! We're happy to help 😊 Get in touch with us here: www.osv.ltd.uk/hello-youtube/
What's the warranty? At these prices they should be good and long...but they aren't.
If I only go on the motorway a few times a year would you get the petrol version? I’m worried about diesels getting clogged up
Hello there 👋 For motorway driving, diesel's fuel efficiency and torque make it a top pick. But if you're city-bound or only drive the motorway occasionally, petrol's your go-to for better urban performance.
Plus, modern diesel engines with DPF technology are designed to be more reliable and less prone to issues like clogging, especially with occasional motorway use.

Supposed to have got my XDrive 20i xline on 21.05.2020, guess what COVID 19 hit town all dealers closed, Just re-opened car is being built now, new delivery early Sept, looking forward to finally driving it, as the one I test drove was the older x1. Time will tell how good it is, but looks good in the reviews.
How was it?
I’d like to know your thoughts too!
Superb review....
Many thanks for watching!
I actually did, a week ago. Very satisfied and fun to drive
That's great Tom, glad you're enjoying the car!
Will buy one soon

No problem at all, Steven. Thank you for watching 👍
any idea when the X1 2022 will be launched?
No news yet I'm afraid - we'll be sure to update you on our social channels when we hear anything!
@@OsvUkVehicleSupply can I ask I am think about getting the 2.0d x drive m sport what’s the mph would you get
Why cant the US get the Diesel versions of BMWs? Our politicians talk big about Green energy, yet deny us efficient vehicles that are available elsewhere.
This is my next new car, it's ordered and ready to be picked up on the 24/4/20. I hope I haven't made a mistake.
Great choice, we hope you enjoy your new vehicle! When you're next in the market do contact our team, we'd be delighted to help you out 👍: www.osv.ltd.uk/hello-youtube/
I have had mine new since Late December 2017. Not been disappointed with the X1 Xline Xdrive 2.0 litre petrol. After 27,000 miles my overall mpg is 39.1 mpg. It’s not the fastest or the quickest off the lights, but can overtake without frightening my passengers. Have had it in serious snow in the Alps and we were clearly better off than some other so called AWD cars and SUVs. Only regret was not going for the sports seats.
Women seem to prefer so called SUVs, but I'm guessing most only get them for fashion reasons. Will you be keeping it long term ? Nope. Probably leased and will trade it in after the warranty ends. Best way to buy a car is keep it long term. You don't pay anything after the initial finance period ends. If the car is still reliable and does what you need then no point changing it. Right waste of money that is. I also suspect people are afraid to keep BMWs after the warranty ends because they know that repairs will cost a fortune. Thats why most premium cars are on PCP deals. Its basically renting one car after another, and never owning one. If you have faith in the BMW brand, keep it long term but I bet you don't.
Wow..Xrated X1
Love my 2020 facelift x1
...and I like my 2012 pre-pre- facelift version although would’ve like the auto version🙂
X1 xline doesn't even come with electric seats and you have to pay £330 for privacy glass.
The car is spacious or is he short
What colour is that X1
It's the Storm Bay metallic colour 👍 Hope this helps!
Good car but interior and exterior design showing age compared to actual 2020 BMW’s
It's the perfect car on paper until you get a lemon like I did!
Ouch! ☹️
Such a shame.
I’ve had a few 🍋’s in my time but my X1 has been great.
Only faults have been a rear LED tail light packed in and the ConnectedDrive is absolutely useless.
I don't think I would buy an x1 ever again..I am quite disappointed with mine
What happened? I'm thinking of getting one.
@@karenjoseph8549 had all kinds of electrical problems they couldn't fix since day 1. Was in the shop all the time. BMW ended up buying the car back eventually.

Don't buy it. Lease it.
Couldn't have said it better ourselves, Nick 👍📞
NEVER!NEVER AGAIN!!
Shouldn't even call it a bmw. Its front wheel based unlike the rest of the bmw models.
Snob brand turns to Compact SUV's {'bread vans'}. Computer say "No."
@@cooknaris 1. can afford one. 2. don't want one.
Simple answer “no”
thanks for the detail
Why would I buy a fake mini instead of a real mini?
Thought you got mini's in a lucky bag? can't seriously compare the 2, totally different cars.
@@lawrenceibbotson3199 the base is the same. Just better plastic on bmw.
Absolutely dreadful vehicle! Worst new car ever bought. Uncomfortable, unsophisticated. Last BMW.
