Pros
Enjoyable handling and keen steering
Fuel-efficient engines
Solid roster of standard kit

Cons
Noisy timing chain could warn of a big bill around the corner
Stiff ride, especially the M Sport models
Lacks the premium cabin finish of most BMWs

The CarGurus verdict
While it’s not the best all-rounder in the compact SUV sector, the X1 mk1 is enjoyable to drive, decently economical, commendably refined, and as long as you’re not a big passenger sitting in the rear, it offers a comfortable environment in which to travel long distances. Most of its engines are spirited performers, and the more powerful diesel derivatives make easy work of towing caravans and trailers. The availability of four-wheel drive on the xDrive models is a boon for those who have a genuine need for the extra traction. Plus, for some people, there’s the reassurance of having a BMW badge on the nose.

But when buying an X1 mk1, be very cautious of noisy timing chains on the diesel engines, as explained in our Reliability section. And while the M Sport versions are stylish, their stiffened suspension and big alloy wheels badly compromise the X1 mk1’s ride quality.

Most owners, though, report being very happy with their X1. Choose wisely, and you should be, too.
