There was also a recall for vacume hose back in 2013-15 so check on that. Only disapointment really is city driving mileage isn't great maybe 20-21 with hwy about 29-30, the engine has a lot of power at 240hp so thats a nice upgrade.

Hi Lucky13-
Thank you much for the informative post and words of encouragement. It's nice to hear it first hand from someone in a similar situation to mine.
The MINI was fun, but the ride on this X1 is night and day compared to the MINI. I concur with you on the pep. I had to overtake two dump trucks and couldn't believe how this thing growled at the road. I honestly think she performed better than my former Countryman S.
Tires do hit a bit hard, but I suppose that's expected of run-flats. When I bring her in at 30k, I'll make certain they check her thoroughly.
Thanks again.
