Decided best bet was to get off the forecourt just in case and as only 1 mile to home set off. Parked on drive at home and once again vast amounts of smoke. Phoned dealer but everyone had gone home and was advised to call RAC out. RAC man impressed with fact that car had less than 10 miles on the clock - took it round the block and same again but not quite so much smoke. Turned out that the dealer had not removed all the gunk protecting the exhaust properly and it was gradually burning off. Took about two weeks for it all to burn off. So first problem at 7 miles |

I jest of course... But I've been down the BMW road before and I know that they're great when they work but expensive when they don't. I owned a 1997 328i and a 2003 Mini Cooper S, which in fairness were both longer in the tooth (not extremely high miles, but high enough). Both cost me a lot of money in maintenance, but I also got them both for relatively cheap.
This 2020 X1 is my first "new" BMW (it was a service loaner with low miles). So I'm just hoping that I've got a few years until trouble starts finding me. I know it's built on a Mini chassis, so technically it's not a full on BMW, but I really love the car overall so far. Now over 300 miles in. |

The previous version (F84) 2009 -2015 was based on the same platform used in the E91 3 Series Touring.

Similarly oil technology has moved on where oils are completely synthetic (man made) rather than refined oil from a refinery with just a few additives. I know all this because for many years I headed a laboratory (using different spectrometry methods to check for wear metals in oil see note below) for the RAF and we monitored all lubricants used in engines and transmissions in vehicles and piston engine aircraft. I agree with the reliability to some extent, but other manufacturers are just as reliable. The BMW X1 now accounts for 12% of all BMWs production. Note. Spectrometric Oil Analysis Program. Commonly abbreviated to SOAP.

I've recently changed my transfer case fluids, it's quite dirty at just around 30k miles. Been checking out the VM forum as they have the similar haldex gen 5 cars. They've been changing their oil at around that interval too. Felt the difference right away after. Last edited by lonegun; 09-11-2020 at 11:28 AM.. |

Comparing an airplane engine that's constantly running to a car's engine that goes through countless start/stop cycle which cause oil degradations at turbo? No that's a terrible analogy. Last edited by lonegun; 09-11-2020 at 11:32 AM.. |

Again, this all depends on how hard you drive your X1. I drive mine hard, thus my onboard computers usually tell me to change around 6000 miles mark. I'd like to go in a bit earlier as my dealership let me do that. As for the transfer case and differential oils, it depends on how hard you drive as well. At 30k miles it's dirty on mine, and most GTI owners with gen 5 haldex. |
