Bmw X2 problems

bmw logo

The BMW X2 is a line of subcompact luxury crossover SUVs produced by BMW since 2017. It was first showcased as the BMW Concept X2 at the 2016 Paris Motor Show, with a production version unveiled in October 2017. Sales commenced in March 2018. It is considered a sportier and less practical alternative to the X1, as is the case with other even-numbered X models with its respective counterparts, and is now in its second incarnation since 2023.

First generation (F39; 2017)

The X2 (model code F39) is based on the same front-wheel drive UKL2 architecture as the X1 and MINI Countryman, and features the same 2,670 mm (105.1 in) wheelbase length. The X2 is assembled in Regensburg, Germany and is produced alongside the X1. Being a part of BMW X family, the vehicle is also available with xDrive all-wheel drive on higher end models.

Both the sDrive28i and xDrive28i models are available in North American markets.

A plug-in hybrid variant, called the xDrive 25e, was unveiled in January 2020. In September 2020 BMW presented the special variant M Mesh Edition with a sporty look.

Production concluded on 11 October 2022, about 13 months prior to the launch of the next generation.

Common Bmw X2 problems

The BMW X2, a luxury crossover SUV, has been the subject of various complaints from owners. Here are some common problems reported based on the search results:

  • Infotainment System Audio Issues: Some X2 owners have reported issues with the audio capabilities of their vehicles' infotainment systems. The audio can go out due to faulty wiring or a software glitch. If you experience this problem, it may be best to have the system checked for defects.
  • Suspension Noise: Noise from the X2's suspension can be a common issue, even on smooth roads. This noise can become particularly noticeable when driving on uneven ground. If you hear strange sounds coming from your X2's suspension, consider having it inspected for potential issues.

If left unaddressed, transmission problems can severely impact the vehicle's performance and safety. Regular servicing and maintenance can help prevent these issues.
  • Recall Campaigns: BMW has issued several recall campaigns for the X2 to address safety problems. These include issues with a crankshaft sensor with a software fault, steering gear tie rod assembly, battery production, seat and seatbelt screws, and the micro gas generator within the front seatbelt's retractor.

  • Date Of Incident: 2024-03-04
  • Date Complaint: 2024-03-08
  • Fire: 1
  • VIN: WBXYJ3C38JE
  • Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER
  • Summary: My car started fire by itself. It was parked in front of my house. I drove 90 miles from my work in the same evening. I came home at 7:00pm, and since then my car was untouched. At 1:30am of the night, I heard something "pop" outside and it started making noise like something is on fire. And then I opened the window to find out my car is on fire. It was parked right in front of my house, the fire would move to my house anytime, but my neighbor called the police and fire station for me, and told me to get out of the house ASAP because it might explode. I was so panicked to grab my cats as I try to leave my house, and the police came right away, they started to water the rim of my house. The fire truck arrived in 15min or so, and it took about 30min to put the fire off. Thankfully, as it was right after that we noticed the fire, and the gas tank was almost empty, neither my house, myself, my family, my cats, and my neighbor were unharmed. Hawaii Police Department was there : Report #24-021263. My insurance company (GEICO) came and take a look, and they are taking care of it now. It is confirmed as "total loss". It has been showing the alert to check engine oil for about a week or so, but on the "vehicle status" screen, it was saying nothing was in immediate trouble. I even had made an oil-change appointment at the dealer on Mar 18th. I will upload some photos, but I have some videos of when the fire started also.

  • Date Of Incident: 2024-01-10
  • Date Complaint: 2024-01-11
  • VIN: WBXYJ3C51KE
  • Components: EXTERIOR LIGHTING
  • Summary: My battery died. After a AAA jump, the car started fine but the right-rear-taillight-signal malfunctioned. It was working fine prior to the battery dying. I purchased a new battery and the mechanic said my right-rear-taillight was getting an electrical signal and the bulb work, but I needed a completely new taillight component ($300!) because it still was not working. While researching parts, I came across a YouTube 'fix' that showed that within the lightbulb compartment, there was a little piece of plastic that was MELTED preventing a mental piece on the lightbulb casing from touching the metal on the compartment preventing the light from coming on. My mechanic sanded down the melted plastic so the two metal parts could touch, and low and behold, the right-rear-taillight-signal worked just fine. Now I don't know if a battery failure could cause an electrical shock to this little piece of plastic but in the comments on this Youtube "fix", this same scenario happed to someone else with an X2 and their battery died and the right-rear-taillight-signal immediately failed. Is there a connection? What caused that little piece to melt??

Bmw X2 2018
  • Date Of Incident: 2023-10-09
  • Date Complaint: 2023-10-09
  • VIN: WBXYJ5C3XJE
  • Components: EXTERIOR LIGHTING
  • Summary: I have had trouble with both my right and left taillight blinkers failing at various times. In the first instance, I took the car into BMW of Seattle to get a new bulb, but this did not fix the problem. After talking with the parts department, the man informed me that it might be an issue with the bulb socket. We tried replacing this but it still didn't work. The technician ended up scraping corrosion off of the contacts in the taillight assembly, which makes it work for a time, but then work either intermittently or not at all. I was told that the problem is due to metal connecting to plastic parts, which can become corroded and cause the electrical connection to fail. The parts person said that he had heard of this problem with the X2 models. BMW quoted me $1000 to replace each of the taillight units. I'm assuming if I spend $2000 to do both, this will just happen again. Please add this component to a recall list. Note: Both times the taillight warnings went off for each side, it was when the temperature had dropped in Seattle. They were cold days with a lot of moisture in the air. Possibly this problem is due to condensation leading to corrosion of the parts.

  • Date Complaint: 2019-03-23
  • Crash: 1
  • VIN: WBXYJ5C34JE
  • Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER,SERVICE BRAKES,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
  • Summary: 2018 BMW X2. THE CAR HAS THE PARKING ASSIST FUNCTION, WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO PARALLEL PARK THE CAR. AT DELIVERY, I WAS TOLD HOW TO USE THE SYSTEM, THE SYSTEM FINDS A SPACE, STEERS AND BRAKES. THE VIDEO ON THE DEALERSHIP WEBSITE SAYS IT BRAKES FOR YOU. HTTPS://WWW.PASSPORTBMW.COM/BLOGS/846/MARLOW-HEIGHTS-BMW-DEALER/WATCH-HOW-TO-ACTIVATE-THE-PARKING-ASSISTANT-FEATURED-ON-YOUR-BMW/. THE VIDEO MAKES NO DISTINCTION BETWEEN MODELS AND IS UP AS OF 3/23/19. THE VEHICLE MANUAL SAYS NOTHING ABOUT THE DRIVER BRAKING DURING THE PROCESS. SEE ATTACHED PICTURES OF MANUAL. PARKING ASSIST FUNCTION BACKED INTO A CAR THE FIRST TIME I TRIED IT, DAMAGING THE BUMPER. THE SCREEN IN THE CAR DOES SAY TO USE BRAKES, BUT THAT IS INCONSISTENT WITH THE SALES PEOPLE, THE MANUAL, AND THE VIDEO. MOREOVER, IT IS A FLAW IN THE SYSTEM IF IT REQUIRES YOU TO BRAKE BUT WILL OPERATE WITHOUT USING THE BRAKES. IMPOSSIBLE TO READ SCREEN AND BACK UP AT SAME TIME. SYSTEM SERVICED, THE DEALERSHIP WAS CONFUSED ABOUT HOW IT FUNCTIONED ON DIFFERENT MODELS - THE "BMW GENIUS" AT THE DEALERSHIP THOUGHT IT SHOULD BRAKE FOR YOU, THE MECHANICS DID NOT. WHEN THE "BMW GENIUS" TESTED IT BY TRYING TO PARK 3 TIMES, HE THEN AGREED DRIVER SHOULD BRAKE - SOMETHING HE WAS PREVIOUSLY UNFAMILIAR WITH - BUT FOUND THAT THE SYSTEM WAS STEERING INTO OTHER CARS AS IT PARKED - ATTEMPTING TO SIDE SWIPE THE CARS IT WAS PARKING NEXT TO. HE SAID HE THOUGH THE SYSTEM WAS MISALIGNED, AND IN HIS WORDS "WOULD NOT BE COMFORTABLE USING IT." THIS SYSTEM IS GOING TO INJURE SOMEONE OR SOMETHING. THE INSTRUCTIONS ARE CONFUSING AND INCONSISTENT. CLEARLY THE SALESMAN, "GENIUSES," AND SERVICE PEOPLE DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE MODELS. THE MANUAL OMITS ANY REFERENCE TO USING THE BRAKES DURING THE PROCESS WHICH IS COMPLETELY INCONSISTENT WITH OTHER MODELS AND THE BMW VIDEO ON HOW TO OPERATE THE SYSTEM.

    The engine and transmission are definitely a big plus! However, the rear vision, stiff suspension, and height of the lift gate were a bit of a letdown for me...

  2. Desmond Mante 2024-11-15

    Vehicle year: 2023

    I recently traded in my 2017 X1 with 76K miles for a 2020 X2 in 'Sunset Orange'. It's a sharp looking car with only 12,400 miles on the odometer, and I paid 28.5 K for it. After owning it for over 6 months, I can say that the X2 is a blast to drive with lots of pep. Although the ride is not the smoothest and there is some wind noise, the 'sport' seats are comfortable despite being narrow. As a taller and heavier person at 6' 3

    The interior of the car is beautiful, but the brakes are too rigid. Even if you are a light breaker, you will experience neck inertia. Although the cargo area is deep, it is not wide enough and there are a couple of blind spots, which may take some time to check your surroundings. However, the body style is beautiful and the interior is luxurious, with interior color changing lights. The auto start/stop feature has a hard start that startles you and your passengers. I had to take my car in for repair (they called it a computer adjustment) three times in seven months, which was frustrating. Overall, I have had some issues with the car, but I am hopeful that they will be resolved soon.

  4. Coleman Bednar 2024-09-15

    Vehicle year: 2019

    I am disappointed with my recent purchase of a BMW X2. Despite opting for the premium and comfort packages, the car is noisy and the backup camera lacks functionality. In comparison to my 2015 Ford Escape, the BMW falls short. However, I will continue to evaluate the car's performance and features before making a decision on whether to keep it or trade it in.

    Vehicle year: 2023

    I'm glad to hear that you're enjoying your car! It sounds like it's a great fit for you, with plenty of leg room and a smooth, quiet ride. I appreciate your comparison to other models you've test driven, and it's great to hear that the BMW xDrive 28i caught your eye with its awesome styling. If you're ever in the market for a compact SUV, I would definitely recommend giving the x2 a test drive as well - it's a well-designed option worth considering.

  2. Jesse Schuppe 2024-11-21

    I just purchased this vehicle and I'm really enjoying all of its features. The driving experience is incredibly smooth.

  3. Gustave Paucek 2024-11-15

    Vehicle year: 2018

    As a first-time BMW owner, I was a bit hesitant to switch from my beloved 2012 Honda Pilot. However, I decided to take a chance and traded it in for a 2018 X2. While I've always dreamed of owning a white BMW 3-Series, I wanted something unique that fit my budget. Reliability is important to me since I often travel alone by car. At first, I struggled to adjust to the X2's size, but after 9 months of driving it, I've come to appreciate its pros and cons. On the plus side, it's a blast to drive, gets great gas mileage, has excellent maneuverability, and a smooth ride that makes highway driving a breeze. The only downside is the poor side visibility, which can be challenging for inexperienced drivers. However, I don't mind the lack of blind spot indicators since I've been driving for 35 years without them. Road noise isn't a big issue for me either since I usually listen to music while driving. Overall, I've learned that I prefer larger SUVs, but the X2 is a great introduction to the BMW brand. It's not as common as other models, which makes it feel more special. While I may upgrade to a more popular BMW in the future, for now, I'm enjoying every moment behind the wheel of my X2!

    Don't let the 'experts' fool you. This car not only holds you tight, but it can also haul 600 lbs of feed and handle off-road terrain like a champ. Everything about this car is top-notch, from its sexy appearance to its practicality. It's the perfect all-in-one car!

  5. Benton O'Conner 2024-11-12

    Vehicle year: 2023

    Originally, I wanted the M2, but unfortunately, the price tag was too steep for my wife. After test driving the X1, X2, and X3, we decided to go with the X2. Since my wife already has a Pilot, we didn't need a big car. I was turning in a leased 428i Gran Couple with all the options, except for navigation. I absolutely loved the dynamic handling pack, especially in sport mode when the steering wheel tightens up and the dampers kick in on the suspension. I got a ticket in San Antonio because I couldn't resist rolling into the corners at 65mph on a 45mph road. My X2 has the xdrive, M Package, and M package X. I was disappointed to find out that dynamic handling was an additional charge on M Package and didn't realize until I saw standard suspension in my options, but sport mode is still better than comfort mode. The car has eye-catching looks and performs well on the road. The suspension can be jarring at times in any mode, and you feel the bumps assertively. I love the connected feature that allows me to turn on various items from my phone, such as flashing headlights, ventilating the car, honking the horn, locking the doors, etc. If the car is within your budget, I highly recommend it.
