At 17k I had to replace my front brakes. The service manager admitted it’s a design flaw with the X1 & they see it all the time.
23k & was just told now my rear brakes have to be replaced. The answer for this one? “The X1 is pretty heavy”.
For reference, brakes shouldn’t need to be replaced prior to 25-30k with the average being between 30-50k for most cars.…
Great driving and reliable

Love my 2019 BMW X1. This subcompact SUV has many positive attributes:
1. It has proven to be very reliable. I have had no trouble at all other than routine maintenance. Note it does require premium fuel and synthetic oil.
2. It drives like a BMW. For an SUV, it handles extremely well around corners with little to no body roll which makes it fun to drive while inspiring confidence. The AWD system works beautifully and has gotten me safely through heavy snowstorms.
3. The interior is classy with a nice balance upscale materials and utility. I have the sport seats which are nicely bolstered and heated. For a subcompact SUV, the cargo space is ample and comes with a hidden compartment which is a nice detail.
4. The main detractor to balance out this review are audible road noise at highways speeds - this is partly due to the run flat tires it comes standard with. All in all, I highly recommend the X1. It's a great value for what you get, especially if you buy one slightly used to take advantage of some initial depreciation.…
