About the BMW X1
Premium compact SUV with luxury features and strong performance. Spacious interior and advanced technology. High-quality driving dynamics.
Reliability & common issues
Diesel variants (18d/20d/23d, 2009-2014, E84) use the N47 engine, which has a well-documented timing chain that can stretch or snap between 60,000-120,000 miles — no full recall was issued, only a revised crankshaft sprocket from late 2011. Petrol models are more prone to cooling system component failures.
Luxury features but parts and labor are expensive. Full service history important. Specialist service recommended.
