X1 M-Sport - Perfect for me, sporty crossover

LCB, 01/14/2020
2014 BMW X1 xDrive28i 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)
26 of 26 people found this review helpful

I am single and don't have pets. But occasionally I need a little extra room. About 4 years ago I picked up a used (probably leased) 2014 X1 with almost all of the bells and whistles. It has the performance package - i.e., the M-Sport line. It had about 46K on it, so I assume it was either leased or previous owner wanted to trade in before the warranty was up. The main difference of the M-Sport is usually the suspension and the paddle shifters (I think some M-Sports might not have the paddle shifters) and 155 MPH limiter (instead of 135 MPH). Never had it over 110 MPH - I want to keep my license for a few more years - but it felt planted. I live on a mountain which is twisty roads that are wet/icy/snowy 6 months of the year - last 2 miles gravel/mud road. Good for that driving - not a sports car, but for a crossover it works better than any other SUV I have driven, lower COG (not as low as my 325 coupe though). Run flat tires with sport suspension give a rough ride though, so replaced them with non-run flats after one tire wore out, and now it is just right, except for the fact that there is no spare. Road noise more than I like, especially over gravel and bumpy roads, but typical for that level of Bimmer. I've put another 50K miles on it - now over 100K. No real problems. Had brakes redone - ~$1K at 90K miles (typical for me). Just recently the touch sensor on the door handle to unlock it (Comfort Access allows you to keep key fob in pocket) failed - now I just use the fob instead. Passenger door still unlocks/locks by touching it. This is typical - would cost maybe $300 to fix. Start button still works with fob in pocket. Had to replace battery in fob once. $1K+ to change trans fluid/filter/pan - typical for the 8 speed auto. Bluetooth phone connect is archaic and finicky. Looses settings for phone and I have to reconnect frequently. Otherwise iDrive/etc. is ok - but setting navigation to destination is harder than it should be. Radio/media is a bit finicky too - lost settings for saved music CDs (has internal storage). Love the adaptive HID headlights - just right IMO - not too bright for oncoming drivers, great for twisty roads. I do wish for more lighting though. Seats are not the most comfortable, especially for long drives - but I got used to them. I am 6'6" and there is plenty of leg/head room for me. Heated seats are nice. Wish heater had separate fans/etc. for passenger - only the temps are separate. Plenty of heat/defrost/air conditioning. Poor outward visibility to the rear, especially backing up - backup cam is ok. Auto dimming mirrors - not dim enough. Minimal cargo room in rear behind rear seats - quite a bit more with seats down. Plenty of power for me - although I wouldn't mind having a turbo 6, but I would have to give up the 8 speed then. Paddle shifters are more of a gimmick, but sometimes useful. Trans is pretty smart - mostly smooth shifting, but wish it was quicker. Commuting, half rural, half bumper to bumper, about 25 MPG. Level highway at 70 MPH easily get 30+ MPG. Had a wreck last year - got rear ended - hard - while stopped in traffic. Pushed me into car in front. Progressive (their insurance) paid $15K to repair, plus medical, plus $2K cash for inconvenience plus rental. Now it is just like new (with repair on record though). In my experience, euro cars are somewhat more expensive to repair, but they do last (usually, I will never touch another Audi/VW again - *shudder*) - of the choices, I prefer BMWs over the others. Just the right combination of performance and comfort for me. YMMV

This is a great lil X1 and at a great price point for a 2014 used BMW. I downsized from my 2005 X5 which I loved and miss very much (had 160k miles and never a major repair or problem). I've always been happy with BMW's. I've owned 7, 5, 3 and X series throughout the last 20 or so years. The reason I down sized is because I'm a commuter and was looking for something that can give me 30mpg on the hwy. It was the BMW or Subaru. I've also enjoyed Subaru's and nowadays these are my only two choices of go to vehicles for cars as a daily driver. I'm a car enthusiast and have owned Ferrari, Mercedes, Lexus and plenty other luxury and sports cars. I'm not posting to brag I'm posting so the reader knows I have choices and know about many cars from first hand driving experience. This X1 is great in handling around town. I got this due to it's looks, compact size for ease of downtown parking, cargo area for placing travel bags, groceries and 60/40 split that I can slide in my surfboard. The only reason I didn't choose the Subaru is I really don't visit the snow that much. But if you get the X1 in the xDrive it'll be a very close match. I got the sDrive because it feels more like driving a sports car with that real wheel power and cutting in tight corners when I punch it around the twisties and I like that feeling. Go for the Ultimate Package as it'll include many features like Navigation, Rear Camera and Parking Distance Control. What I miss is having that extra space or elbow room when I have passengers and sitting much higher up (comparing with my old X5). What I love better is the newer electronics and fuel efficiency and having the Ultimate Package amenities. If you're looking into a used X1 then go with 2014 or 2015 model years. 2013 was the first year this model hit the US and the 2016 has been completely redesigned in and out. The deals are on the 2014 for all the lease returns that hit and chances are you'll still get the 4 year/50k miles free maintenance plan that's remaining and Certified Pre-Owned near bumper to bumper warranty if you buy it from a BMW dealer. All the BMW dealerships I checked out actually had better deals compared to other car lots.

A BMW from the good old days of BMW design

I bought this X1 because it's a dying breed of BMW from times before BMW went soft, heavy, and lost their steering mojo. It has the chassis and handling dynamics from the previous generation E90/E91 platform that's one of the best handling 3 series. It has hydraulic steering instead of BMW's new vague, imprecise electric steering. Those are combined with the most recent, excellent drive train. Add the comparatively low price and this BMW is unique. It will be replaced in the 2016 model year by a front-wheel drive platform shared with the Mini Cooper. Yuck.

Not For Everyone, But Great Car For Me

Drives like a sports sedan but relatively roomy in terms of headroom and (to a lesser degree) elbow room. I'm a bigger guy (6'1" and about 240), and I bought this as a compromise between the 3 series, which I felt was a little more low-slung than I like, and the X3, which felt relatively boat-like. Bonus: not only do I prefer the X1 to those two vehicles, but it is about $10K cheaper when similarly equipped.

EDP X1

Ordered car and picked up in Munich as an EDP car in June. Major options: M Package, Winter Package. Nice firm ride and soaks up bumps well. Drove car 2,850 miles in Germany, Austria, and France. Top speed driven was 125 mph on the Autobahn -- car was feeling floaty so did not go faster although the engine could handle it. No issues in Europe over 2,850 miles. Averaged 25 to 28 mpg. Back in Calif., I have driven 2,200 miles and averaged from 25 to 27 mpg since being back. I attribute the same MPG while driving much slower to the lower fuel quality (ethanol)

I purchased a new Acura RDX and traded it after 6 months for an X1. I missed the BMW driving dynamics and this car delivers! The steering is meant to be heavy and an engaging drive. Those who want softer should look to Acura or Lexus. The X1 is not as luxurious as the 3 or 5 series but the price tag makes up for it. I have the Premium and Tech packages, it has everything I wanted in features. Love the handling and hatchback style. So happy to be back in a BMW!

I purchased this BMW new almost 10 years ago. I now have 221k miles on it. The only repairs I have had (other than regular maintenance items): replaced the turbo waste gate and a new a/c compressor. I got rid of the run flats long ago. It is a small vehicle so the spare takes up a lot of the luggage room. It has a somewhat stiff ride, but I’ll take that any day in order to get improved handling. The x-drive is awesome in the snow! Mine is not decked out with some of the expensive BMW options, making the purchase price much more palatable. After all these years and miles, I’m grateful for the fun, safe, dependable vehicle it has been. I have no plans to get rid of it!

Purchased 2014 X1 fully loaded with M-Sport package. Great handling car with aggressive sporty ride, coming from a V6 engine it was hard to believe this car was only equipped with turbo 4. Comes with just enough tech to be comfortable (I never cared for Lane Departure Assistance, Front Collision Warning, and other new safety features). It however came with the crappiest quality materials I have seen in German cars, and it because the hard plastics were constantly expanding and rubbing, rattles/creaks were always present. The run flats combined with M suspension did not help either. Oh, and I purchased this vehicle at 45k and 2 years later the value was at 14k so its two year depreciation was @ 68% which is a little steep even for a BMW.

I have owned/driven the whole range of BMW - 3 series, 5, X6, 650, M3, etc. This car has the same DNA. I wanted something small and simple for work, baseball coaching, skiing, winter/summer. I looked at Subaru Outback. The outback was $13K less based on MSRP but the X1 leased for $150 less per ($330 per month with nothing down but an old Escape with 130K miles). The little engine is just amazing even comparing to all the big BMW V8s. I dont need more than 240 hp. When BMW beats subaru on price+features, I'd call that value!

I can't say much about it, I got it for wife who said she wanted a hatchback with pep. These criteria took me to the VW GTI, a very highly rated and affordable car. We test drove one of those, and wife found it too low, and plain looking. She somehow decided it was a "kid car". I was frustrated and so surfed to the X1. Wife loved it's classy look (the BMW emblem on it didn't hurt anything), it's higher stance, and was very happy driving it. It's amazingly affordable. Her's has the moonroof and the nice rain-sensing wipers. Most other features are standard. We picked out one of 3 white ones on the lot, I would have liked the premium audio and upgraded rearview with compass

I have a 2014 x1 28i drive and love it. What do I live about it? I love the size, it’s small perfect for a single person that didn’t want a larger car. BMW went bigger. The car runs like a charm and cost so far has been exceptional. Fun car to drive.

Base model X1, 2.8xDrive (very basic interior) + sporty feel and drive + great handling and feel on windy roads and highway - tight feel up front for 6ft male -very tight leg room for adult, tight leg room for 10 y/o male behind 6ft driver - Unless low price is most important or harsh, but sporty drive is wanted, strongly consider 2016 model. Traded in for base model Acura RDX 2016, and after 6 months, very happy with the Acura. Albert [HTML removed]

Update: Watch out for any BMW with the N20 engine!!! Google N20 and timing chain. It's bad. Ours is hanging in there, but who can trust their car with this bomb waiting to go off. Devalued the car too. Old review: We got this for my wife. Needed a car with decent gas mileage and was above the boring Japanese cars that lack soul. She wanted an SUV and we have owned many BMWs. Four E36 3-series, One E39 5-series, an X-3 and an M3. This four cylinder turbo has pep, but needed an oil filter housing gasket set very ealy on. Pretty lame. Now we are getting intermittent turbo related fault codes, and it is going into partial power mode. We are not pleased. My wife hates the seat comfort, and wants to get rid of it for that reason alone! Run flat tires should just go away. I hit a pothole in my Mini Cooper S with runflats and was stranded due to significant rim and tire damage. That doesn't happen if you have a SPARE TIRE! They handle poorly too, along with high road noise. I think the newer X1s have an optional spare, or no runflats so BMW may have learned. I really wish I could love this car, but it just doesn't feel like a high end German car.

I have the 2014 xDrive28i model. The seats are cheap and not comfortable for a long drive. The acceleration is more like a Ford Escort than a BMW. The sales guy said it is because it is a 4 cylinder. No excuse. The BMW engineers should be ashamed of what they created. The navigation is ok, but feels more like my 2004 Infiniti G35 than a 2014. The steering and suspension are stiff. This is good for me. It's very loud on the road. You hear everything. The tires wear down very quickly. The dealer was telling me to replace them at around 13,000 miles. Ridiculous. Anyone, besides my kids, who gets into the car has a little trouble, no matter how I position the passenger seat. I've taken the car to the dealer a dozen times over the past 2 years for different problems (wiper blades not contacting windshield, bluetooth wouldn't connect, valve cover leaking oil onto intake manifold, and the list goes on). Thankfully, I only have one year left on my lease. It kills me to have to drive this car for that long, but it's the commitment/mistake I made. I feel like I got taken by the BMW logo. Won't happen again.

My first BMW and I'm now caught in the Takata airbag mess. BMW felt it was safe enough for me to drive but not take in trade, "they also have a stop sale on any affected models". I contacted BMW and asked for and got a rental car. The dealer now has my BMW and at this point I have doubts about if and when I will ever see it again and I'm sure I will take a beating when I trade or sell it if and when I do. Do yourself a favor go to safercar.gov and check the vehicle ID number of ANY CAR you have or are looking to buy to check for open recalls! Avoid any car with a TAKADA airbag open recall like the plague. On the bright side I have a rental 2016 VW Jetta 1.4 that is almost as peppy as my BMW, has a better quieter ride is way more roomy and it is getting between 36-38 MPG. (The BMW only got 23 MPG average) I could almost buy three VW's for what I paid for my X1 BMW . NEVER AGAIN LESSON LEARNED.. Foot Note: Several manufacturers are still making cars with these deadly inflators buyer beware!!!!! UPDATE Traded in 2016 for a 2017 RAV 4 Hi-Bred the Rav rides better, burns regular gas, gets outstanding mileage, and the resale will be higher. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER BMW lesson learned. Update trade Hybrid for a gas Rav 4 2019 after collision with deer. 2019 Rav beats 2014 BMW X1 and 2017 Rav 4 HYbrid. all the way around better vehicle.

1. Dealership was a joke to work with, lied on two separate occasions about frivolous things. 2. Electronics keep tripping – Dealership has no idea. It’s not logging. 3. O2 Sensor light comes on every time I go down my parking garage and stays on for the remainder of the trip. Dealership has no idea what to do. 4. Key fob lasted 2 years. 300 Bucks+ for a new one, excluding programming costs. 5. Gas mileage nowhere near estimated. A daily commuter who uses the interstate. I’m not heavy on the gas, I estimate 20.5 mpg with 91-octane. 6. Brand new $39,000. For a 2014 BMW X1, NADA Resale max shows $19,500. At best I lost $19,500 in three years. 7. I will never own another BMW. I’ll stick with Lexus and Acura.

I was a bit concerned about the 4 cylinder engine but boy does it still provide a lot of pep. Lots of grip. Feels like I am driving an expensive sports sedan. Has the same confident, lane-holding feel when you are zipping down the far left lane on the highway like you feel in an X5. Lots of room in the front, though not much for storage. There are only 2 safety belts in the rear though there is room for a 3rd person in the middle. Because of the 40/20/40 split, there is a lot of storage flexibility. The fuel economy is nice too. I bought mine as a service loaner w 4K miles and WHAT A VALUE at around $31K. I am as satisfied with this vehicle as with any vehicle previously owned.

I have owned five BMW's now including a 2001 3 series convertible, a 2003 3 series, a 2009 Z4 and now the X1. I intentionally dropped down in size and class of car, so I went in expecting some compromises..but not what I have gotten. Horribly cramped, the auto engine cut off is terrible, average gas mileage is 7-8 mpg worse than the lowest rating, interior is flimsy and several plastic pieces fall out of their place regularly and worst of all, my side airbags went of with no collision at all as I was taking a corner (BMW dealer has told me this isn't the first time they have dealt with this!) Add to this the fact that the seats are horribly uncomfortable and I am beyond disappointed.

After 2 new Cadillacs and making the change to BMW in May, I have been very disappointed. First off when I drove the brakes had to be replaced with less than 1000 miles. The On/Off functionality is stupid. When you park the car it shuts off except for the accessories and you have to turn it on and then off again which causes wear and tear per the manual. And after 4 months apparently there was liquid spilled on the iDrive which caused it to be replaced for the cost of $650. Unbelievable design to put an electronic iDrive between 2 cup holders that can't withstand condensation from a cup. Cheap interior as well. Never Again!

from 325i to X1

I traded in my old (and long out of warranty 2005 325i) for new X1 with premium package. Note: I got it cheaper than edmunds suggested price, so use it as trading starting point So far I have 400 miles only and will try to update it later. But for now I am very biased and I like this car. I like driving and this one just pure joy. However my old 325i could turn sharper (X1 center of gravity is higher). Also turbo does not respond as fast as my previous car's 6cil from dead stop. There is a short delay and then turbo delivers massive torque and then traction control has to work hard ;) On the hiway its pure joy, power is always there when you need it. At 400 mi I got 26+ mpg, no eco-pro

Drives very nimbly. Steering is easy on arthritic hands; in fact, that was one of the reasons we replaced a perfect 330xi. The only complaint I have is that the trunk release is near the hood release and not easily reachable. Still love the car.

I got the car in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. I have an Acura TSX 2008 and it is in good condition. The Used 2014 BMW X1 is okay. My concern is that I did not get the BMW 100% certified by the dealer, so I'm learning the service needs of the vehicle with very little or no assistance from the BMW dealer in Turnersville. They sold me a vehicle with four bad tires. Also, due to the fact, I got the vehicle from Acura of Turnersville dealer and It appears I was stuck in a tug of war by the BMW dealer for not getting the vehicle from their dealership. My inquires for assistance are ignored. For example, I have never filled out any customer review after any services from the BMW dealer in Turnersville. I just want to be treated fairly as a female car driver, despite where the vehicle was purchased with the four bad tires.

The great handling and braking of a 3 series with the added visibilty and cargo space of an SUV.

A 3-series hatchback

Own the base model and replaced the run flats. Sporty drive, similar to a slightly elevated 3-series. Road noise is prominent, but tolerable. Strong reliability, but maintenance and repairs can be costly. Save money replacing the air filters yourself, easy and accessible. Plan to drive it as long as possible.

Drives like a nice little SUV sports car. I would recommend the xdrive over the sdrive, the xDrive has a much better drive feel.

Absolutely get rid of the run flats. Garbage!! Good regular sport tires with a flat fix kit will transform the x1 back to a real bmw. Not the harsh bouncing ill mannered car it is with run flats.

I bought my X1 used and within a year the major issues stated. First the A.S.S (auto stop/start) feature is a major issue. It happens intermitted and can make quick maneuvers and left turns problematic when it engages (I almost got hit when the car engaged as I was trying to turn). It's also a VERY EXPENSIVE CAR to repair. In 4 months, I spent over $4K in repairs (Brakes, ABS, Stater, Battery, Floor Board Computer). Also, it's very complicated for a first driver (my daughter is learning to drive, and gets frustrated at the gear shift and A.S.S feature) and at the end, I've decided to sell it for something more reliable. I really enjoyed the drive (other than A.S.S) and it's super cute. I have owned the X3, Z4 and this. But, I think I'd probably not buy another.

We have had this car since July of 2015 and nothing has gone wrong expect the air conditioning needed fixing in 2019. Well last week the car started to stutter and lurch then the check engine light came on. It’s almost unsafe to drive because the transmission is malfunctioning. Now we just don’t drive unless it is an emergency. We are trying to fix it but it’s really hard to get it into any auto shop.75,000 miles and no problems until now. We are going to get a new crossover in early 2022 so it just needs to hold on a few more months. Overall, it’s a nice car. Edit: We fixed it. It took a long time but we fixed it

We picked this car as a CPO from a BMW dealer. No problems to date. Relatively decent handling for the type car, and just the right size and height. We stayed away from the newer version to avoid a Mini based front wheel platform derived car as opposed to a BMW based one. The new 2018 X1 also features a flimsy cloth covering under the moonroof that I can see ripping quickly. If you want a X1 like this may I suggest springing for the upgraded interior. Base level seating has poor lateral support and are unacceptable. Base halogen headlights are unacceptable and should be avoided. My 3 series coupe has xenons which are "light years" better. Sorry!:-) Base sound system is "media-ocre" at best. I don't understand the need for moonroofs on BMWs, and wish they would apportion the monies elsewhere and delete them. Acceleration with the 240 hp is considerably better than you would expect for a 4 cyl. It feels like a 6! Braking is only adequate , but some experts blame this on the stock tires rather than the car. I also would like a manual transmission X1 like they have in other countries! When you're shopping, seek out a well optioned example only! A base car sporting only a badge is bad form indeed.
