Owner reviews
Externally liked the machine… and that's it! There was a factory defect associated with the turbine, so I did not have time to ride it when I realized that it wasn’t accelerating ...
For the same money, I would have a Toyota Rav4 of a good configuration, but here there is not an automatic key (all the time I had to look in my bag), and the trunk, too, can be opened / closed with my hand. The cabin stinks of diesel fuel. It's not clear, what did I buy KAMAZ ?!
Very disappointing. After my last Toyota Rav 4 new bmw X1 seems to be "off-home"!
Veronica, review of BMW X1 2.0d (150 HP) with automatic transmission in 2016
Video review
You may be surprised, but I switched to new bmw X1 with the previous generation BMW X3. With its compact dimensions, the interior of the BMW X1 is more spacious than that of the X3. All thanks to the front-wheel drive platform. I don't understand why BMW has been clinging to the rear-wheel drive concept for so long. Manageability new car got better too. She no longer prowls in ruts like my old BMW X3. The ride is also better.
The salon as a whole is comfortable and spacious, the trunk is roomy. The driver's seat seemed harsh, but soon got used to it. Landing is high, visibility is good, only side mirrors too small. But I liked the instruments less than on the old BMW X3. Here, part of the information is displayed on the dashboard, moreover, the digitization of the speedometer is small, and some on the central screen of the multimedia system.
Equipment basic configuration pleasantly surprised, as previously BMW offered completely empty cars in the database. There is a dual-zone climate control, an electric boot lid, front and rear parking sensors, heated front seats, electric heated washer nozzles.
But the BMW X1 can be forgiven for its excellent driving characteristics. The dynamics are very good, the car literally takes off, overtaking is given easily and naturally. Automatic transmission works smoothly. At the same time, the machine is economical, even with active driving (otherwise it is difficult to drive it), the average consumption does not exceed 10-11 liters per 100 km.
Reference controllability. The suspension provides optimal balance between energy intensity and comfort. Ground clearance quite sufficient for our roads, four-wheel drive helps out great in snow-covered parking lots. You can only find fault with the fact that the sound insulation of the wheel arches is not very good, at high speed you can hear the noise of the tires.
Review of the new BMW X 1 2.0 (192 HP) AT AWD 2015
So, specifically, my X was assembled in Kaliningrad at the end of November 2016. By the way, I was very worried about the LAN. After all, like any Russian, I have a passion for purebred Bavarians, but I will say: the fears were in vain.
Runflat tires on 18-inch wheels. And here is the most annoying thing in this car: the noise of rubber on the asphalt! This is not my whim and not self-indulgence: the whole trip you hear the tires rustle! With a pretty decent noise, you can't hear the sounds of the street, but still, fuck it, you hear the tires! Every bump or unevenness, every crack in the asphalt, every pebble - this was not in any of my cars! This should be noted as I am not exaggerating, but rather minimizing the problem.
The seats in my case are sports, with decent lateral support, but without lumbar support, which is problematic for me personally, because my back aches during long trips.
Headlights: LED, reversible, they shine perfectly in the dark (better, according to my feelings, only in a Mercedes). Without washer! This was a surprise! I waited a long time for the headlights to wash - I didn’t wait) To be fair, it is worth noting that they don’t get very dirty either, maybe because of good aerodynamics, or maybe because they don’t heat up.
Box: 8-speed, high-spirited, no complaints. True, X twitched a couple of times when starting off, but zero maintenance reported that there were no problems. I believe, but I will watch)
Dynamics: Pain! He lacks 150 horses! And if in the sport mode it was still all right, then in comfort I am afraid to overtake! You seem to press the pedal, but he does not go. Well, more precisely, it rides, but not at all as expected.
Review of BMW X1 2.0d (150 HP) automatic transmission 2016
The impressions are mostly positive. The car is economical, sporty, comfortable, versatile for its size. It has a sufficient set of options in the database, good price-quality ratio.
The main disadvantage is poor sound insulation from the wheels. If you only ride with your own people and get used to it, then you can put up with it. But if you put a stranger next to it, it becomes uncomfortable for a seemingly decent car.
Runflat tires go in the base. Because of them, additional noise, increased sensitivity to the track, increased rigidity, the inability to sell practically new tires for a good price ...
There is also the hum of the transmission on an unheated car. In summer time passes a few minutes after starting. Up to -10 degrees, the hum disappears during movement. If -25 and below, then I did not have high mileage to wait for the hum to disappear.
Eugene, review of the BMW X1 (F48) 2.0 (192 HP) xDrive 2016
My pick is white, 2.0d xDrive (4WD plus diesel), 190hp. and 400 Nm. Traction and "mares" are enough with the head. Consumption, however, is too large: 10-11 liters in the city. If you turn on the "start-stop" system, then you can save a liter or two, but I often turn it off, because it is annoying. Firstly, it slows down in traffic jams. Secondly, the power steering is cut out along with the engine, which is also inconvenient. To save money, there is also an Eco-pro mode, but with it the car ceases to be a BMW. Not interested.
The salon is comfortable. For the size of the X1, there is quite a lot of space in it. The upholstery is fabric / leather, which is good in the heat, since there is no ventilation in the seats. The back is normal together. If you "wedge in" the third passenger in the middle, then he will walk with his boots on the ledge of the panel with climate grilles. I already hesitated to clean these traces ...
The trunk is not huge, but well organized. There is a double floor, you can hide a bunch of useful little things there. The rear seats fold down and slide back and forth. The back of the front passenger seat also folds down. According to my observations, lengths up to 2.5 meters fit easily (I recently carried a batch of skirting boards for the house, no problem). The fifth door opens if you slide your foot under the bumper.
My Boomer's equipment is one of the most expensive. This is my first car with an automatic valet ... It's a cool feature, but I don't have the patience to wait for it to park itself. Too many unnecessary movements back and forth ... I do it three times faster.
Pavel, review of BMW X1 2.0 diesel (190 HP) four-wheel drive 2016
Standard equipment of the new BMW X1 for Russian market includes 17-inch alloy wheels, heated mirrors and washer nozzles, rain and light sensor, climate control (one zone), heated front seats, a six-speaker audio system with USB and AUX interfaces, a mode switch, iDrive system with a separately installed front panel with a 6.5-inch display. Options include 18-inch wheels, full LED headlights and taillights, leather interior, display system iDrive 8.8 inches, multi-wheel, dual-zone climate control. As an alternative to the basic equipment, it is possible to order the Advantage, Sport Line, xLine or M Sport models (with aerodynamics package, exclusive blue body paint, 18 '' or 19 '' rims and a modified interior).
The engine range includes several power units... With the base 136 PS (220 Nm) 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine, the X1 accelerates to 100 km / h in 9.7 seconds. The declared fuel consumption is quite modest - an average of 5.3 l / 100 km. However, the main stake is still made on two-liter four-cylinder petrol and diesel turbo engines. The initial petrol is installed on the sDrive20i and xDrive20i and produces 192 hp. (280 Nm), and a more powerful unit has a return of 231 hp. (350 Nm) and is installed only on all-wheel drive xDrive25i - this is the most dynamic version, acceleration to "hundreds" in 6.5 s. The range of turbodiesels is made up of three engines in the sDrive18d (150 HP, 330 Nm), xDrive20d (190 HP, 400 Nm) and xDrive25d (231 HP, 450 Nm) modifications. The offered gearboxes are a six-speed "mechanics" and an eight-speed "automatic" Steptronic. However, the "mechanics" - only for the sDrive18d modification.
The new BMW X1 has undercarriage with McPherson struts in front and multi-link in the back. The wheelbase of the car has decreased by 9 cm, while the width (by 2.3 cm) and height (by 6.7 cm) have increased. The ground clearance of the model is 183 mm. System all-wheel drive xDrive in normal mode directs torque to the front wheels, if necessary, the electro-hydraulic multi-plate clutch can transfer up to 100% of the torque to rear wheels... Optionally, the BMW X1 can be equipped with Dynamic Damper Control. In addition, adaptive sports steering is available.
The safety equipment includes the DSC dynamic stability control system, which combines many active subsystems. In addition - six airbags (front, front side and inflatable curtains), ISOFIX mounts, tire pressure indicator, electromechanical parking brake... As befits a compact but luxury crossover, the X1 also offers advanced systems, for example, a HUD-display with a projection on windshield, driving assistant Driving Assistant Plus (with Stop & Go system, active cruise control, lane tracking and other functions), parking assistant.
The first generation X1 was quite successful, although there were some drawbacks (suspension stiffness, cramped salon). The new X1, despite its front-wheel drive origin, is at least as good as it gets. He became more comfortable in driving performance, and outwardly more similar to a "real" crossover, which could not be said about the previous generation, which is more reminiscent of a passenger wagon. By the way, global changes affected the functionality of this compact crossover... The interior has become more spacious, and the trunk is more spacious (its volume has grown by 85 liters, the maximum available volume is 1550 liters).
Overall impression:
In general, I like the car. I hit 13,000 km. Good handling. Excellent economy, spacious salon... In general, there is much more good than anything else. Almost everything suits me. However, there are serious drawbacks about which I cannot but write. The front seats (made of genuine leather) are of a very irregular shape (I will not give more than 1 point on the 5-point system). Although they are electrically adjustable, the angle of inclination of the cushion is clearly not sufficient (there is "a lot of air" under the knees. I had to put washers under the seat supports. As a result of this, the legs, on trips disperse. Sitting is very uncomfortable, even painful. I think this is partly due to the leather trim of the seats. Perhaps it would be different with ordinary seats (after all, the skin is hard). I liked the seats in x4. I think that the developer of the x1 seats shouldn't be scolded. Just put him behind the wheel and make him drive 500 km without stopping (and drive for three days) so that he feels the urgency of the "question". In addition to this (in my opinion) a serious drawback, there are simpler drawbacks: 1.the absence of athermal glasses 2.the orange illumination of the devices 3.if the seat is lowered all the way down, the readings of the on-board computer are poorly read 4.they are very noisy tires and suspension
Advantages:
Design, manageability, service dealership(Saratov), overview, trunk, options
Disadvantages:
There are serious shortcomings about which I can not help but write. The front seats (made of genuine leather) are of a very irregular shape (I will not give more than 1 point on the 5-point system).

The front sports seats will be upholstered in Alcantara fabric with a blue accent. The interior will have a gearshift lever with the M logo and white / orange lighting, plus a leather sports steering wheel.
The standard head unit of the crossover is a small monitor. It can be changed from BMW X1 F48 to NBT with widescreen display. New useful functions are being added, and in addition to it, there can be a joystick with a tach, which will facilitate navigation. You can install a more serious head unit, NBT EVO X1 F48. The main difference from the standard NBT is the presence of Interface Design 5. The driver can synchronize the crossover systems using the iDrive controller, monitor and microphones.
Specifications
Now let's analyze specifications car.
The first models were equipped with five four-cylinder (2 petrol and 3 diesel) power units. A little later, three-cylinder engines appeared, gasoline B38 and diesel B37. All engines met Euro-6 standards.
First, let's see what gasoline engines the BMW X1 F48 has.
The 18i Sdrive models were equipped with a 136-horsepower 1.5-liter engine. It allowed the crossover to accelerate to "hundreds" in 9.7 seconds. and move at a top speed of 204 km / h. Average fuel consumption per 100 km is 5.1 liters. The engine with 1.5 petrol has low fuel consumption and good dynamics, but the opinions of motorists say that they prefer two-liter units.
A two-liter 192-horsepower unit was installed on the BMW X1 II F48 20i xDrive / sDrive crossovers. With such a motor, the car accelerated in 7.5 seconds. and moved with maximum speed at 224 km / h. Fuel consumption- 6.3 l. A two-liter 231-horsepower unit is mounted on 25i cars. Acceleration of the car took 6.5 seconds, "maximum speed" - 235 km / h. Fuel consumption - 6.5 liters.
Now also diesel units.
The X1 F48 16d is equipped with a 1.5-liter 116-horsepower B37 unit. Acceleration of the car - 11.1 sec., "Maximum speed" - 190 km / h. Fuel consumption - 3.9 l.
BMW X1 18d F48 was equipped with a 150-horsepower engine with a volume of 2 liters. It allowed the crossover to accelerate to "hundreds" in 9.2 seconds. and move at a top speed of 205 km / h. Average fuel consumption per 100 km is 3.9 liters. A two-liter 190-horsepower unit was installed on the 20d crossovers. With such a motor, the car accelerated in 7.6 seconds. and moved with a maximum speed of 219 km / h. Fuel consumption - 4.5 liters. A two-liter 231-horsepower unit is mounted on 25d cars. Acceleration of the car took 6.6 seconds, "maximum speed" - 235 km / h. Fuel consumption - 4.7 l.
The BMW X1 ii F48 18d xDrive engine is combined with a 6-speed manual transmission. Other models are equipped with an 8-speed "automatic".
The size fuel tank- 61 p.
The car was equipped with two suspensions: front independent (MacPherson) on double levers and aft multi-link. The steering wheel had adaptive Sevrotronic amplification. All chassis were equipped with ventilated disc brakes with an ABS system.
Tuning crossover
So far, the BMW X1 F48 has not had a facelift. It is not known when there will be updates. This may happen in 2019, but you can get updated BMW X1 F48 2018 and through tuning. The ECU can be reprogrammed. Correct the modes of its operation. This is called the F48 X1 chip tuning.
As a result of updating the car:
- The power of the power unit is increased with torque;
- Reduces fuel consumption;
- The work of the checkpoint is improving.
Chip tuning X1 F48 20d 150 hp allows you to increase the engine power up to 40% or more! Of course, it all depends on the factory programs and additional equipment. Tuning BMW The X1 F48 increases power through more precise engine and mixture adjustments. In addition, the logic of the checkpoint is changing. Switching occurs when more low revs power unit. And the lower the engine speed, the lower the fuel consumption.
Here are some numbers to make it clear what tuning gives.
Suppose you have an X1 F48 crossover with a two-liter 190-horsepower unit and that doesn't suit you. Chip tuning will provide an increase in power / torque of 68 hp / 120 Nm. This will greatly affect the dynamics of acceleration.
The factory firmware allows from idle / from 2000 rpm - 8.5 / 7.9 sec. After tuning, the numbers will change to 6.7 / 6.3. That is, the crossover becomes 1.8 / 1.6 sec faster.
Problems
BMW X1 F48 has no serious problems. However, there are some drawbacks worth noting. The crossover has poor noise insulation in the wheel arches, a heavy steering wheel in the parking lot, a stiff suspension (felt on bumps), a rear-view camera with sills is open to dirt. The meshes of the boost control valves are also quickly clogged.
However, the main disadvantage is the high cost of the car.
Comparison with competitors
The Bavarian has several competitors. Among them is the Volkswagen Tiguan. Here we want to analyze which German car is better. The comparison will involve four-wheel drive models with a two-liter engine running on gasoline.
BMW is more powerful (192 versus 180 hp), it accelerates faster (7.4 and 7.7 sec.) And is 20 kg (1615 and 1636) lighter. The "Bavarian" also wins in fuel consumption, 6.3 liters. against 8. It has more than 20 types of okarski body, while Volkswagen has only 14. The transmission type of X1 is an 8-speed "automatic", Tiguan is a 7-speed "robot".
Volkswagen's price advantage. It costs almost 400 thousand less.
The first generation of the compact crossover has already stood in lineup Bavarians are not small 6 years old. The manufacturer did not delay the generational change and in June 2015 presented the X1 in a new body with the F48 index.
The appearance of the novelty is even closer to the older "brothers" and. Compared to the previous model, the new BMW X1 is distinguished by a shorter length, but increased width and height. The shortened bonnet and the straighter tilt angle of the rear door glass are also noticeable at first glance.
If the former X1 frankly had feminine smooth body lines, then the F48 received a more brutal exterior design: aggressive bumpers, a massive radiator grille, and expressive optics in the style of the aforementioned crossovers.
The standard appearance of the Advantage equipment is complemented by various styling elements and accessories in the extended versions Sport Line, xLine and M Sport.
When decorating the interior of the 2016 BMW X1 model year, German specialists finally abandoned the inherent inconveniences base cars in the lineup, namely, meager technical equipment, budget materials and minimalistic design. The new X1 F48 can now proudly stand on a par with the more expensive X3 and X5, and the main difference from them is now the body dimensions. Let's list them:
- length - 4 439 mm;
- width - 1821 mm;
- height - 1598 mm.
Technical characteristics of the BMW X 1 2016 model year
Despite the fact that the car is a legitimate successor to the X1 series, from a technical point of view, the new product has practically nothing in common with the previous model. So, if the first generation was built on the basis of the BMW 3-series Touring, then the basis of the monitored model was the chassis from front-wheel drive and (sophisticated brand lovers also know that it is built on the same platform).
The line of power units for the new BMW X1 includes:
- turbocharged Gas engine volume of 2 liters and recoil 192 horsepower(280 Nm) for modifications sDrive20i and xDrive20i;
- petrol 231 hp engine for version xDrive25i(350 Nm);
- 2.0-liter diesel unit with a return of 150 hp (330 Nm) for sDrive18d;
- 190-horsepower diesel for xDrive20d(torque 400 Nm);
- and 231-horsepower engine for top-end diesel performance xDrive25d.
In the role of transmission on all versions, only 2 boxes act - 6-speed mechanics and 8-range.
It is almost unbelievable, but the Bavarian manufacturer is seriously considering the release of an elongated "one" with three rows of seats. Such a modification, according to the calculations of the Germans, will sell well in the United States, Russia and the Middle Kingdom.
When, where and for how much to buy a BMW X1 in the back of F48
The official presentation of the novelty will take place at. Traditionally, customers in the North American market will be the first to order and buy the new BMW X1 in the back of F48. A little later, the car will appear in Europe, and by the end of 2015, the first lots will be delivered to Russian dealers. Prices will be announced later.
