Introduced in 2015, the second-generation BMW X1 F48 transformed the model into a modern, spacious family crossover by switching to the front-wheel-drive UKL2 modular architecture. This transverse-engine layout unlocked vastly superior passenger legroom, a larger 505-litre boot and an elevated, commanding driving position. Keeping this popular family SUV dependable requires proactive BMW X1 maintenance, addressing chassis wear and transverse drivetrain components.
The powertrain range featured the three-cylinder B38 petrol (18i), the four-cylinder B48 petrol (20i, 25i) and the dependable B47 diesel (18d, 20d, 25d). Front-wheel-drive sDrive models were available alongside on-demand xDrive, paired with six-speed manuals, seven-speed dual-clutch units or the smooth Aisin eight-speed automatic gearbox. A well-known trait of the UKL platform is the upper right hydraulic engine mount, which frequently perishes and leaks hydraulic oil after 60,000 km.
