2016 BMW X1 has intermittent rough running issue especially on cold start. This issue applies to any BMW and MINI with the 4 cylinder (B46) from 2016 onward.
+ Bonus footage of suspension popping noise and cause.
-This X1 is the same setup as the newer MINI Coopers and Both will have the same symptoms and causes shown here.
- This customer declined the recommended repairs. So unfortunately there is no repairs on this video. The answer is to replace the crankshaft pulley assembly.
-This engine is actually very reliable compared to the last generations. And has gobs of power for being a 4 cylinder!
-I talk about this engine in more detail in the video " What's the Best Used MINI to Buy - Updated "
