Advice needed on my first used BMW X1

Hi,

I am about to spend around 24k on a used X1.

I would like your advise on whether the following spec:

X1 xDrive20i Sport from March 17
Mineral Grey
Automatic
Black w/ red highlight Dakota leather
13k miles
Automatic air conditioning
Extended storage
Front armrest
Isofix child seat system

Sliding rear seats
Sport leather seats
18" 568 double-spoke style alloy wheels
High-gloss shadowline roof rails
Electric folding door mirrors
Sun protection glass
Additional interior lighting
Heated front seats
High-gloss black trim with pearl chrome
Active guard
Active pedestrian safety
Alarm system
BMW multimedia system
BMW online services
Cd player
Electric bootlid
Park distance control (pdc). rear
Cruise control
Harman/kardon surround sound audio syste
Park distance control front and rear

Driver comfort package
Technology pack
BMW emergency call
BMW teleservices
Dab radio
Multifunction controls on steering wheel
Passenger airbag deactivation. front
Sport automatic transmission with gearsh
Sport leather steering wheel
Tyre repair kit
Comfort access

for about 22,500 mark is a good deal to make.

I know the car is over 5 years old now but is BMW approved one and has a very low milage. I also know from the dealer the car was owned for 3-6 months by their manager when ordered apparently and later on was sold to another owner who now returned it as part exchange for new car hence this one for sale.

I've reserved it now and looking forward to test drive this week but thought I would drop a line to ask for advice as I could probably stretch to 24k max for a newer model with potentially bigger milage. I would probably be getting a slightly bigger infotainment screen as well with a newer one but this one seems like a good compromise. Maybe 19 inch alloy wheels which I do not really need. I could also go with sDrive but I guess I would keep the 2.0 size for better performance (or is it really needed on UK roads that much?).

I guess I need some general guidance and advice on this particular one and its price tag vs milage etc Also if I should be afraid of buying X1 with such a low milage? Anything I should be keeping closer eye while test driving and talking to the dealership?

Any advice appreciated!
