Thinking of buying the 2018 BMW X1?
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2018 BMW X1 for sale by us right now. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Buying the 2018 BMW X1 is a big decision; here is the information we have.
What to check on the X1
There are 4 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. NHTSA has 60 owner complaints on file, mostly about structure, unknown or other and electrical system. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.
What the specs mean
Its powertrain is the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo with front-wheel drive. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
It is rated 8.9 L/100 km combined: about 27 litres every 300 km. A 300 km weekend costs about $46.74 in energy at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,150 a year for 15,000 miles.
Good uses for the X1
It suits client visits, weddings and special weekends. It suits commuters, couples and business trips.
Inside and out
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. Luggage space is 765 litres, enough for bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Rent it for a week first
If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Try the X1 on your commute, then decide. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.
Year and trim
Within the 2018 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
Money matters
The EPA estimates US$3,150 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $155.80 at our price setting. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Still deciding?
Tell us the model and the dates, and we reply with an offer.
Rent it for a week before you buy
