What kind of mileage is everyone getting - quoted 23 in city - I'm getting 19 with conservative driving even on the eco-setting?? That said, I find the seats very comfortable and it drives beautifully.

Us too.. just like this previous post -- Unfortunately, in 24 months and with only 18,000 miles, my X2 needs new brakes (front and back, rotors and pads), an alignment and new run-flats. A couple grand total. I've been driving for 40 years and this is the first car I've ever had, for any period of time, that needs brakes at all, or that needs four new expensive tires at 18,000 miles. Fool me once... --- we have had our car less them two years and have replaced our brakes and roters two times and now after 4 months less then a mile change are told we are at a 4 front and 6 rear on tires and may have to replace pads and roters again. We use Palm Springs BMW that says it's NOT a defect in material or product but "just how the X1 and X2 are" this has cost us couple thousands of dollars and now our rear brakes "need" to be cleaned up and scuffed to stop the salow brake squeal for another 450.00. Just ridiculous. Not sure how that is The X2 is one of the most reliable family SUVs available, scoring an impressive 97.7% in our 2021 What Car? Reliability Survey.. not a happy BMW customer. This is our 2nd BMW vehicle. We also had to replace the motor mount.

Big Disappointment

The car is probably the worst car I have ever purchased. The supplied tyres (Continentals) are noisier than the Pirelli winter tyres presently fitted. There is a continuous whine from the front drive line that is not masked by the tyre noise. Very noticeable around 40 - 80 Kph. The dealer insists this is normal. The electrics have a mind of their own especially the foot operated trunk the wife has still not managed to make it work. I am only 5’9” and have difficulty getting in and out of the vehicle I have to lower the seat all the way and then Twist my body in and out. The interior trim is nice but the ambient lighting is too bright for me at it’s lowest setting. The exterior finish is good where it is finished, the inside of the hood is unfinished as are some other surfaces not normally visible, a cheap trick considering the price of the vehicle. Road handling in snow is nail bitting as the car follows any ruts without announcement my last experience of this threw the car into a full right hand drift I narrowly missed an oncoming car certainly sure the X drive did not kick in at any time. I no longer trust the car as its handling in anything but perfect weather is suspect and not to be trusted, nail biting comes to mind, the noise is tiring on a long journey. The dealer is conditioned to consider all this as normal causing me to not go there any more. I cannot get rid of this vehicle quick enough

Never drove a BMW before. Needed a car quickly last year, walked into BMW dealership and leased this vehicle without even driving it once. the first time I drove an X2 was when I got my lease and took it home. Why? Crazy I know, but the introductory movie about the X2 was shot on an island in my home country, a place very well known to me and I was hooked. I just got it and I have no regrets, though I will likely never do anything as crazy as that again. I went with my gut and I was correct, at least this time. Got the cheapest AWD model with minimal extras. Pros: all the most important stuff. It drives wonderfully. I love it. from the Sports mode when I need, to the Eco Pro mode that I am in most of the time. Drove 6 hours w/o stopping once, got out of it and was not even stiff. Only one day driven in very significant snow and it did quite well, almost as good as my prior Audi quattro A4 (but quattro is unbeatable, IMHO). Fuel mileage is great. I do mostly commute in NYC between Bronx and Brooklyn, get 25-27 MPG, depending on how dense the traffic is. Get easily 32 MPG on pure highway driving. A very, very enjoyable driving experience. A pleasure to just sit in it and move. Remembering the Ultimate Driving Machine ads and have to say, this is exactly it, in my opinion. Got 4K off the price for a 3 year lease. That really reduced the total payments by a lot. Cons: A very, very, very, and by that I mean a VERY (as capital as possible) costly experience to repair anything. However, that may not be just this vehicle or only BMW, this may just be any luxury car company, but it does feel A BIT more expensive at BMW, then for example Audi. Example: just had something hit my windshield, large crack needs windshield replacement. Had the same happen twice on my Audi. Replacements with Audi were no more than what Safelite demands for this BMW, about 600-700, the BMW dealership gave me an estimate of 1800-2400. School bus took down my side mirror: 1500. An Uber scratched my headlight: >2000 for headlight replacement (though I am hoping to get scratched glass replaced with OEM part ordered from Europe for a fraction of that price). Vehicle under warranty and no mechanical problems yet. But if the car is ever having problems after warranty is expired, it will be a fortune to do repairs. Shifting feels uneven at times. That may be nothing, but it does remind me of the beginning of my troubles with a Land Rover Freelander transmission many years ago that then completely failed some 20K miles later and was a fortune to replace. I find 2018 X2s now with 12K miles on them (same as my vehicle) that cost 27K after one year of use, while my vehicle at the end of the 3 year lease will be with about 30-40K miles on it and is priced in the lease agreement at 24K. So, it would make very little sense to buy it at that price, since it seems to loose so much in value after only a year and 12K miles. But in summary, I am very happy with the vehicle and the lease price. Got a very good deal, I think.

Decent

I have mixed feelings about the 2018 BMW X2. It's decent - it's a BMW after all - but it is a long way away from what BMWs were or should be. The handling was mediocre, though slightly better in "sport mode" than in "normal mode," but it is definitely not a driver's car, and the blind spots that lots of reviews mention are terrible. Frankly, I was terrified even to change lanes on the freeway/highway." The car I had also pulled sharply under hard acceleration, and the ride is really rough (probably the run-flat tires that BMW now puts on all its vehicles) and noisy. On the other hand, acceleration was fast and very smooth, and this car flies on the freeways: hitting the accelerator at 60 is amazing; all of a sudden you are going 90! Driving position is good, seats are comfortable, and bluetooth phone quality is excellent. I've had several BMW's over the years (a 1989 325, and a 2001 530) but compared to those the X2 was crap. I bought mine CPO and sold it after 3 weeks I disliked driving it so much! Buyer beware!
