And can you buy warranty for used cars? Any ballpark figure for how much that would be for this car? (Canada)

I remembered when my factory warranty was about to expired, I reached out to a few BMW dealership for extended warranty. I can't quite remember the details, but for non-deductible... a 2 year plan was $3000+tax. Small variations b/t dealerships. Speak to the finance mgr at the dealership. I decided to skip it and put the money in high yield stocks.
In Canada, we got the 2012 pre-LCI X1. I'd avoid that because it's not as nice.
If you follow the n20 timing chain issue, I believe BMW changed the plastic guide in 2015. You'd have to check the VIN to correspond to the date mfg. I think for the most part the X1 is quite reliable. It's not a complex vehicle in BMW's stable. CR rates 2014+ to be better.
