📖BMW X1 Long F49: spacious extended-wheelbase crossover requiring engine mount and running gear care

BMW X1 Long (F49) (2016-2019)

Launched in China in 2016, the BMW X1 Long F49 was specially engineered to satisfy demanding family buyers seeking executive rear legroom in an easy-to-park compact footprint. With an 11 cm longer wheelbase than the standard F48, it provided rear accommodation rivalled only by full-size executive saloons. Ensuring this spacious family vehicle remains dependable requires systematic BMW X1 maintenance, focused on chassis components and automatic transmission servicing.

The mechanical range comprised the 1.5-litre three-cylinder B38 (sDrive18Li) and the 2.0-litre four-cylinder B48 (sDrive20Li, xDrive25Li), paired with a six-speed or eight-speed automatic gearbox. The front-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive xDrive platform relies on an upper hydraulic engine mount and MacPherson strut front suspension, which shoulder significant stress under high passenger loads and stop-and-start city motoring.

Owner notes

The reassuring points, known weak spots and deadlines you should not let slip.

Reassuring points

Reliability
  • Phenomenal rear passenger legroom and airy cabin atmosphere on the extended wheelbase.
  • Dependable petrol engine lineup powered by the modular B38 and B48 turbocharged units.
  • Refined eight-speed automatic gearbox and compliant suspension calibration suited to family touring.

Chronic weak spots

Keep an eye on
  • Upper hydraulic engine mount: inspect the right-hand mount for rubber tearing and hydraulic fluid seepage.
  • B38 and B48 cooling systems: monitor coolant levels, water pump housing and oil filter housing seals.
  • Automatic gearbox: verify smooth cold-start gear selection and check for hesitation during urban stop-start.
  • Brake discs, pads and tyres: check for accelerated wear caused by heavy passenger loads and urban traffic.
  • 12V electrical system: test auxiliary battery voltage to prevent spurious iDrive and electronic faults.

Critical deadlines

Do not miss
  • Engine oil and filter change: renew every 10,000 to 15,000 km or 12 months with approved BMW Longlife oil.
  • Automatic gearbox fluid service: renew transmission fluid and filter every 80,000 to 100,000 km.
  • Brake fluid renewal: flush and replace hydraulic fluid every 24 months regardless of distance.
  • Engine mount inspection: check upper and lower engine mounts for wear every 40,000 km.
