Bmw X1 problems
The BMW X1 is a line of cars produced by German marque BMW since 2009. It is in the subcompact luxury crossover class, and the first-generation X1 was based on the E90 3 Series and offered rear-wheel drive layout as standard. At its introduction in 2009, it was positioned as the smallest SUV in BMW line-up, below the X3 prior to the launch of the smaller X2. The X1 essentially is aiming a wider range of customers due to its smaller size, increased efficiency, and a lower price tag due to the all-wheel drive layout (xDrive) being optional.
The second-generation X1 marked the switch to a front-wheel-drive-based layout using the UKL2 platform shared with the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer and the Mini Countryman. Despite its name, it is now only the second smallest SUV produced by BMW since the introduction of the X2. The third and current generation was released in 2022.
First generation (E84; 2009)
The E84 X1 is the first-generation model and was originally presented as the BMW Concept X1 at the Paris Motor Show in 2008. Development of the vehicle started in 2006 when BMW identified the need for a smaller and more efficient model in its SUV line-up as petrol prices were increasing. Due to the urgent need to produce the vehicle, development and pre-production time was shortened by 40 percent compared to previous X Series models.
It is based on the same platform as the E90 3 Series and features the same 2,760 mm (108.7 in) wheelbase. The X1 is the first BMW X Series to be available in the sDrive trim (two-wheel drive). It was not introduced to the United States until 2012.
In 2013, the E84 X1 underwent a facelift, featuring restyled exterior and interior design elements, as well as the integration of BMW EfficientDynamics on all models. The original X1 sold 820,529 units.

Common Bmw X1 problems
The BMW X1 is a popular compact luxury crossover SUV, but like any vehicle, it has its share of common problems. Here are some of the most frequently reported issues based on complaints from owners:
- Suspension Problems: BMW X1 owners have reported excessive noise from suspension components, premature wear of bushings or ball joints, and uneven tire wear. These problems can compromise ride quality, reduce stability, and increase road noise. Resolving suspension issues often involves inspecting and replacing worn components, aligning the wheels, or upgrading to aftermarket suspension kits for improved durability.
- Transmission Problems: Instances of jerky gear shifts, delayed engagement, or transmission fluid leaks have been reported by some BMW X1 drivers. These issues can compromise driving comfort and overall vehicle performance. Repairing transmission problems may necessitate software updates, fluid flushes, or in more severe cases, transmission component replacements.
- Oil Pan Leaks: BMW X1 owners have reported oil pan leaks, which can lead to excessive oil consumption and potential engine damage. Addressing this issue may involve inspecting for oil leaks, replacing faulty seals or gaskets, or monitoring oil consumption closely to prevent engine damage.
- Cooling System Problems: Drivers have reported an issue with the cooling system on their BMW X1, with reports of the model leaking engine coolant. This problem can commonly be caused by corrosion of the cooling system components.
- Excessive Brake Pad Wear: Some BMW X1 owners have reported excessive brake pad wear, which can lead to reduced braking performance and increased stopping distances. This issue may be caused by factors such as aggressive driving or improper brake maintenance.
While the BMW X1 is known for its sporty design, premium features, and iconic BMW driving experience, it is not immune to these common problems. Staying informed and proactive about maintenance and repairs can help BMW X1 owners maintain the vehicle's performance, safety, and longevity.

Bmw X1 2016
- Date Of Incident: 2024-10-24
- Date Complaint: 2024-10-24
- VIN: WBXHT3C39G5
- Components: POWER TRAIN
- Summary: The contact owns a 2016 BMW X1. The contact stated that after arriving to the destination and shifting the vehicle into park(P), the message "Secure Vehicle against Rolling Malfunction" was displayed. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed a failure with the transmission shifter lever control cable.

Bmw X1 2017
- Date Of Incident: 2024-10-13
- Date Complaint: 2024-10-20
- VIN: WBXHT3C34H5
- Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: It displays a secure vehicle against rolling warning which is caused by a faulty gear selector assembly. After researching on the Internet and talking to the dealer repair specialist, this seems to be a common issue for this model and it should not have happened this early in the car (the car is only 7 yrs old and has very low mileage since it was not driven much during 3 years of covid). This is a design issue that should have been fixed or recalled by the manufacturer. It is not a normal wear and tear issue and the consumer should not be paying thousands of dollars to fix a car design issue that impacts safety.

- Date Of Incident: 2024-10-03

- VIN: WBX73EF04P5
- Components: BACK OVER PREVENTION
- Summary: The rear cross traffic alert does not work. It gives no indication or sound when a car or human drives by. I nearly got into an accident multiple times. When mentioned to my service manager, they tested backing up into a curb and not "cross traffic". They thought it was not a problem, but when I explained the issue of rear cross traffic I was told to bring my vehicle in and that there is a fix. When asked why this doesn't work, or if this is a software update that was missed I was told that they do not know. Only that it is something that they can " add " to my vehicle. No clear explanation.
Bmw X1 2023
- Date Of Incident: 2024-09-29
- Date Complaint: 2024-10-07
- VIN: WBX73EF05P5
- Components: SERVICE BRAKES
- Summary: While returning home with my wife and cat, we were approaching a train crossing when I attempted to slow down, already under the posted speed limit and I pressed the brakes very lightly to begin slowing to a stop. The brakes locked up and we began sliding toward the train crossing arms and moving train on the tracks, I attempted pumping the brakes at that point realizing something was very wrong. With every slight touch of the brakes the vehicle would skid more, left, and right, until we came to a screeching halt mere feet from the train crossing arms. I have been told now by BMW roadside assistance that my vehicle is still safe to use. Then when I disagreed was transferred to "master mechanic " who promptly told me it was unsafe for me and others on the road. He set up a tow and it was towed away that same day. Now I have spoken to two different Certified BMW dealers, one of whom I purchased the vehicle from. They both said there's nothing they can do about it as there's no fix. The dealer that currently has is said it's safe to drive and I need to plan to pick it up. This is an absolute disaster of immense proportions that is going to cost someone their life undoubtedly. I was willing to let the vehicle sit until a fix was made available but only to be told that they have no loaners available for me. I paid for my vehicle in full at purchase, and this is the product and service I am provided by doing so. Reprehensible.
Bmw X1 2016
- Date Of Incident: 2024-04-04
- Date Complaint: 2024-10-04
- VIN: WBXHT3Z38G4
- Components: POWER TRAIN
- Summary: The transmission lock sensor is defective in this car design- the spring in the gearshift assembly that contacts the transmission lock sensor has a faulty design and is prone to breaking. This leads to a warning in the car that the transmission lock has not occurred when the car is in park (although it is actually functioning). This creates a "false alarm" situation that then does not allow the user to know if the transmission is truly locked in park This defect has occurred in my car as diagnosed by both dealer and independent mechanic. This is a common and known defect amongst X1 owners (as well as the mechanical sibling Mini Cooper). It is also well known amongst the BMW dealer service; It should be consider a recall defect

Vehicle year: 2016
I recently traded in my 2013 320 and although I loved my car, it was time to give it up since it was a lease. I decided to purchase the x1 and it was a great choice! I absolutely love this SUV - it looks awesome, drives awesome, and the wheels are fantastic. I love everything about it, and the gas mileage is just as great as my 320. I was never at a gas pump before because the gas was so good! The x1 has been changed this year and it has become an even more awesome SUV. I would highly recommend this car.

I'm so glad to hear that you enjoyed the handling of the car! The interior is also quite nice, and it's great to hear that you found the cargo carrying ability to be good. I understand that the car uses premium gas, which may not be your preference, but it's worth noting that many high-end vehicles require it to achieve optimal performance.

We recently purchased a BMW X1 SAV for our vacation home in the mountains. This is our first BMW, as we usually drive Porsches (I have a Porsche 997 C2 Cab and my wife drives a Porsche Cayenne S at our main home). After test driving a few different options, we decided on the BMW and have been pleasantly surprised with our choice. The performance is amazing for a turbo 4 and the gas mileage is great. While it doesn't handle like my 911, it still has superb handling for its price range. In fact, it's the best car I've driven up to the Macan (which is in a totally different category altogether!). The only downside we've noticed is the lack of storage inside the vehicle, but we've been told that this has been somewhat rectified with the 2016 year model. Overall, we're very happy with our purchase so far!

I recently purchased a car during the COVID-19 pandemic, an Acura TSX 2008, which is in great condition. While the Used 2014 BMW X1 I also purchased is okay, I am concerned that it was not 100% certified by the dealer. As a result, I am learning about the vehicle's service needs with little to no assistance from the BMW dealer in Turnersville. Unfortunately, the vehicle was sold to me with four bad tires. Additionally, since I did not purchase the vehicle from the BMW dealership, I feel like I am caught in a tug of war between dealerships. Despite my inquiries for assistance, they have been ignored. As a female car driver, I just want to be treated fairly, regardless of where the vehicle was purchased or the condition of the tires. I have not yet filled out any customer reviews after any services from the BMW dealer in Turnersville.
Are you having problems with your Bmw X1?
Eliezer Heathcote 2024-11-28

We purchased this car as a CPO from a BMW dealer and have had no problems to date. The handling is relatively decent for this type of car, and it is just the right size and height. We chose to stay away from the newer version to avoid a Mini-based front-wheel platform derived car, as opposed to a BMW-based one. If you are interested in an X1 like this, may I suggest springing for the upgraded interior. The base level seating has poor lateral support and is unacceptable. The base halogen headlights are also unacceptable and should be avoided. My 3 series coupe has xenons which are 'light years' better. I apologize for the comparison. The base sound system is 'media-ocre' at best. I don't understand the need for moonroofs on BMWs and wish they would allocate the funds elsewhere and delete them. However, acceleration with the 240 hp is considerably better than you would expect for a 4 cyl. It feels like a 6! Braking is only adequate, but some experts blame this on the stock tires rather than the car. I also wish they had a manual transmission X1 like they have in other countries! When you're shopping, seek out a well-optioned example only! A base car sporting only a badge is bad form indeed.

I had a scary experience with my new 2017 X-1, which had less than 247 miles on it. While driving, I lost complete control of the vehicle and was very scared. The warning message on the screen stated 'Reinitializing stability control'. I contacted BMW North America regarding this matter. Fresno BMW repaired the car without my authorization and offered to buy it back, but only gave me a low price for it. I was not interested in buying an X-3 or X-5 as they are too big for me. I was very clear that the car was not to be repaired, and I did not sign the repair order. I am disappointed that CarFax reported no major repair on my '17. I am currently taking legal action. There is more to this story, but I am hopeful that it will be resolved soon.I hope you're doing well. I noticed that you had a great experience with your 2013 X-1 and found a 2015 model that you've been enjoying for almost two years now. That's fantastic! However, I couldn't help but notice that the new owner of your 2013 X-1 may not be aware of a major repair that was done on the vehicle. I think it would be a friendly gesture to contact the new owner and let them know the truth. It's possible that they would appreciate the information. I understand that you've been hesitant to take legal action, and that's completely understandable given the circumstances. It's important to prioritize your well-being. Thank you for sharing your experience with me. Take care!

I've driven my X1 for over 2000 miles now and while the fuel efficiency is only at a maximum of 27.3, I'm still enjoying the ride. I mainly drive on highways and use the cruise control and eco option. While the steering wheel feels a bit heavy compared to my old SAAB, I'm excited to start weight lifting classes with a personal trainer next week which should help me handle it better. Unfortunately, the car doesn't allow for a trailer mount to put a bike rack on the back and the roof rack is hard to find, but I'm still happy with how it looks in orange!

I've had this car for a week now and I'm feeling a bit of buyer's remorse. During the test drive, I didn't get to drive it for long enough. Although it seemed fine on a short drive, the model I bought is quite stiff and hard to steer. Despite having 220 horsepower, it doesn't feel as powerful as I expected, as it's not very smooth or responsive. Maybe I should have waited for the new Audi Q3 coming out this fall. I wish I had shopped around more and not relied so much on the reviews.

I would recommend replacing the run flats with regular sport tires and a flat fix kit. This will greatly improve the ride quality and handling of the X1, making it feel like a true BMW. Run flats can be quite harsh and negatively impact the driving experience.
