Quick update as not posted in a while.
I still own my X1 18d Sdrive. Will be 8 years with me in July and 9 years old in total. Had planned to move it on in March this year, but I’m not financially ready for my X3 M40d yet
Hoping the UK gets an X1 M35i to be honest as that will suit me down to the ground. X2 M35i is Ok, but would rather an X1 or X3.
Mileage is now (drum roll)… 149600 miles. Do I win?
Still going strong, although a few creaks and squeaks are now evident. Still pulls ok for a 143bhp engine and is returning 47mpg.
