It’s broken right now
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

OK with Reservations
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.
