The 2018 BMW X1 for buyers
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2018 BMW X1; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. The 2018 BMW X1 for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.
Recalls and complaints
Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. NHTSA lists 4 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.
The numbers in plain words
The powertrain here is the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo with front-wheel drive and an 8-speed automatic. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
The combined figure, 8.9 L/100 km, means roughly 27 litres for 300 km. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $15.58. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,150 a year for 15,000 miles.
What to expect from the X1
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. For luggage, 765 litres means bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
A good match for
It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
Try before you buy
Drive the X1 on your commute before you commit to it. If the X1 is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.
The cost of driving it
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. The EPA estimates US$3,150 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
Narrowing it down
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
