Buying an X1.
Greetings all,
Been lurking in the forums and finally decided to get an X1. I had a WRX for awhile, upgraded to a forester XT... but always missed the WRX. AWD, great in the corners, and pretty quick. Sadly subaru dumped the WRX wagon. The X1 (E84) is looking like quite a nice WRX upgrade. Thanks to the forums I found all the details on dropping hydraulic steering and switching to a FWD biased platform in 2016. I read up a fair bit on the BMW CPO program at edmunds, auto car trader, cars.com and related. Sadly they all (even some BMW dealers) describe a 2 year/50k on top of the BMW 4 year 50k warranty for a total of 6 years/100k. Sadly BMW seems to have recently changes to a 1 year/unlimited miles. Any opinions on CPO? The "NOT covered" list is pretty daunting. The list is at: http://cpo.bmwusa.com/Content/docs/B...NotCovered.pdf In any case, anything I should watch out for for in a 2013-2015 X1? Hoping to go shopping this weekend. |

Daunting? If it's wearable parts, I wouldn't want to cover those either!
We had a Forester XT a while back. This kinda reminds me of it -- a fast wagon kind of thing. We are also disappointed in the lack of a WRX hatchback. However, we did notice that there's an "Impreza Sport" that looks nice; I dunno anything about it, tho. |

The list of exceptions pretty long, seems like BMW is sending a message that they expect to spend $$$ fixing the list of parts they exempt within the first 5 years! They don't cover locks, door handles, cat converts, locks, sunroof leaks, headlights, rust, suspension, shocks, drive belts, exhaust, etc. The only thing I'd really consider "wearable" in the first 5 years of a premium car would be things like wipers, tires, fluids, etc. |

But that's definitely worth knowing that list of exclusions! I feel better about not having a CPO now. Quote:

If I wanted the most reliable car, I'd go back to Honda/Toyota. But they're not quite as fun to drive. Our other car is a Toyota, and it seems bulletproof. In the meantime, BMW has been really good at covering things under warranty. |
