xDrive25d (2015-2022)

Can you afford a 2015-2022 BMW X1 xDrive25d in 2025?

# 2015-2022 BMW X1 xDrive25d The X1 xDrive25d represents BMW's compact luxury crossover powered by a 2.0-liter turbodiesel four-cylinder producing 228 horsepower. The second-generation (2015+) switched to front-wheel-drive architecture, gaining interior space while losing some traditional BMW driving dynamics. Reviewers praise its fuel efficiency (40+ mpg possible), refined diesel engine, and practical cabin space that punches above its compact dimensions. Criticisms include a slightly firm ride and less engaging handling compared to rear-drive predecessors. The diesel variant offers impressive torque for highway cruising and towing. It's well-suited for European drivers prioritizing fuel economy on long-distance commutes, though diesel availability varies by market. The X1 became infamous for representing BMW's shift toward practicality over sportiness, though it remains composed and well-appointed for small families seeking premium features in a maneuverable package.

The X1 xDrive25d diesel requires premium fuel and costly BMW maintenance including regular DPF regeneration. Timing chain issues can arise around 100k miles ($3k+ repair). Parts and labor are expensive at dealerships. However, the B47 diesel engine is generally reliable. Insurance runs higher than non-luxury competitors. Infrequent but expensive repairs typical of German luxury brands.
