Confused about X1 issues
Hi, first time on a forum so bear with me please. I feel the need to get some advice from members of xbimmers as I am about to sign on the dotted line to order a New X1 2.0d ED and am very concerned over some comments regarding quality issues I have spotted on this site.
I had a X18d for a few hours last weekend and it had the clutch judder but thought it was just me as I am used to an auto. Apart from the steering being a bit heavy at low speeds I loved it. I have spec'd the X1 up to nearly £30k and really want a bit of advice before commiting to buy. My other option was to go for a 1 series 120d Msport which comes out at a similar value. Strange I know but personaly I think the X1 looks like a 1 series on steroids. Hope someone can give me a bit of guidance Thanks Paul |

Paul Hi,
I pick up mine in Jan and I love it, people will moan about things if they go wrong and that's fair enough when you spend that sort of money . But apart from my water bottle freezing is been a joy. No issues about drive or build quality. I think you will find at lot more happy owners that ones with complaints.. In the end if you have issues take it to dealer for the next 3 years and they have to fix it, thats the contract you sign with BMW before you pay them All the best and enjoy.. BB |

Thanks for the quick reply.
I am sure you are right, I am going back to the dealer today to have a look at the colours although its better looking at the BMW Used website. I think I just want to go and look at the x1 again. How sad am I. Looking forward to getting back in a BMW soon. Thanks again paul |

Hi Paul I actually went from an x1 18d sdrive to a 1 series 118d and must say don't regret one second of it.
I got rid of the x1 due to constant problems with one thing or another and to be honest I didn't want to have the car on my hands without the manufacturers warranty For me the 1 series is a much nicer place to be than the x1, I also think it drives much better. Good luck with what ever you decide. |
