Hi everyone,

I’m currently an 2014 F30 owner (N26) considering a 2016 X1. Needing something just a bit more roomy inside for the kiddo and wife but I don’t want or need a full blown SUV. We looked at a CPO X1 with M-Sport, premium, luxury and technology packages. It has 34k miles for a pretty good deal.

Just curious if there are any known issues with these cars that I should be aware of or otherwise avoid? The N26 motors had timing chain guide issues and were known to leak at the VCG, just wondering if there are similar things I should know about the X1 or if they’re otherwise pretty reliable (all things considered). Sounds like they too use a similar engine but not quite the same, with a different 8 speed transmission (not a ZF based on what I could research).

Thanks!
