xDrive18d (2015-2022)

Can you afford a 2015-2022 BMW X1 xDrive18d in 2025?

# 2015-2022 BMW X1 xDrive18d The second-generation BMW X1 (F48) transformed from a wagon-like crossover into a genuinely practical compact SUV built on front-wheel-drive architecture. The xDrive18d pairs a smooth 2.0-liter diesel four-cylinder (150 hp) with all-wheel drive, delivering efficiency-focused performance. Reviewers praise its spacious, surprisingly versatile interior, comfortable ride, and premium cabin quality that punches above its segment. The diesel engine offers excellent fuel economy and adequate torque for daily driving, though enthusiasts note it lacks BMW's traditional sportiness. It's known for abandoning rear-wheel-drive purist credentials for practicality—a controversial but commercially successful move. Critics cite somewhat stiff ride quality and less engaging handling than rivals. **Ideal for:** Small families and commuters prioritizing interior space, fuel efficiency, and premium badge appeal over driving dynamics. Perfect for European markets where diesel infrastructure remains strong.

The X1 xDrive18d features BMW's reliable B47 diesel engine, generally dependable but can experience EGR and DPF issues if used primarily for short trips. Maintenance costs are moderate for premium class. Common expenses include diesel particulate filter cleaning/replacement (€800-2000) and typical BMW items like bushings and sensors. Insurance costs are average for compact premium SUVs.
