Engine wise it will have a version of the B48 transversely mounted in the Mini and 2AT, which have been around for a while now and share quite a few parts with the soon to be retired N20 found longitudinally mounted in all sorts of BMW's.
So as the E84 was at the tail end of the E chassis, the F48 will be at the tail end of the F chassis with relatively well proven technology and motors.

So to sum it up, I guess both E84 and F48 would just be as reliable in this case?
Why are they always putting old sh*t on the x1 and present it as a new model / new gen.
It almost seems like the x1 is created as a strategy to get rid of old parts and engines lol.
