Definitely an expensive vehicle to maintain!

Just wanted to share my experience; I have a 2016 X1 that I bought as a Certified Pre-Owned for $26K USD in Aug 2019 with 26K miles. Only issue during the CPO warranty was a shifter that was replaced at no cost. Since the warranty expired in 2022, I've had to replace an engine oil filter mount at a cost of $2200 USD. I just had a turbo waste gate actuator fail which was repaired for $2300 USD and they said my motor mounts are leaking which will be $3700 USD to replace. The moonroof shade got caught in the tracks and would be $3900 to repair but I'll live with it until I trade it in. Every part that failed was due to a design flaw and couldn't have been prevented by maintenance. I do have an independent mechanic in town, but he is swamped since the dealer's labor rate is $200 USD an hour so my options are limited. I had some issues with a Volvo I owned, but nowhere near as bad as this. I own a Lexus Rx and it's a dream to own and maintain. Buyer beware!
