The 2015 BMW X1: before you buy

We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2015 BMW X1 for sale by us right now. This page sets out the 2015 BMW X1 for buyers, in plain words.

Recalls and complaints

A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Owners filed 94 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, air bags and engine and engine cooling; have those parts checked.

Under the hood

Power: the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo; drive: rear-wheel drive. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.

The EPA rates it at 8.9 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 27 litres. In energy, every 100 km costs about $15.58 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,150 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Good uses for the X1

It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.

How big it is

Being a large sedan, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. At 708 litres, the trunk fits bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.

Try before you buy

If the X1 is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.

Picking a year and a trim

Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.

Running costs

Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$3,150 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $15.58 in fuel.

When you know your dates

Ask about renting first, and buy with a clear head.

Rent it for a week before you buy

A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2015 BMW X1 from us first.
