Thinking of buying the 2016 BMW X1?
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2016 BMW X1 for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. This page helps you judge the 2016 BMW X1 before you buy one anywhere.
Recalls and complaints
A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Owners filed 163 complaints with NHTSA, most often about unknown or other, power train and visibility/wiper; have those parts checked. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. There are 4 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done.
Engine and fuel
Its 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo drives through an 8-speed automatic. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.
Expect about 28 litres for every 300 km, going by its 9.3 L/100 km combined rating. For 1,000 km, budget about $162.80 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
When the X1 makes sense
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits client visits, weddings and special weekends.
The X1 in everyday use
As a large sedan, it is easy to drive and park in the city. Measured bumper to bumper, it is 4.44 m. It fits most condo and driveway spots. The EPA lists 765 litres for luggage, roughly bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
A longer test drive
Rent the X1 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.
Which one to look for
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
What it costs to run
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. The EPA estimates US$3,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
