My bride missed her 2004 X3 we sold a couple of years ago, and this X1 popped up at the BMW dealer where I used to work. It's a one owner with 30k miles on it as well as a BMW CPO warranty. It ticked all the boxes- M Sport Package, HID headlamps, heated seats, and a true ///M color- LeMans Blue. My wife is very happy; I enjoy driving the first generation X1s as well- the hydraulic steering coupled with the M Sport suspension make it a lot more fun to drive than you would expect. It has the N20 2 liter turbo four, so acceleration is adequate for a CUV and should still average 24-25 mpg. We are planning to get 8-10 years out of it.
My wife gets a new(to her) ride: 2015 X1

Nice!
Congrats.
Nice find and good you jumped on it.
Nice find.
Does yours have a build date of 4/2015 or later?

Sweet!
How coincidental. I was spying an X5 only yesterday.
What is the importance of an 04/2015 build date?

Congrats, great choice. Enjoy! My Bride is looking at BMW's now, had enough of her S4.
Im assuming the production date has to do with the issues with the N20 engine, I thought that was the cutoff for high strength timing components. Or the facelift started there.
Very nice, congrats!!!! Love the color too.
Nice looking ride!
I was very interested in the X1, but, unfortunately, it failed my very first in person test...loading a double ski bag with my and my daughter's longest sticks in the back with half the rear seat folded down.
My first two choices for a small SUV, the X1 and the QX50, both were ruled out by this test...it is a 100% must for me.
I thought about taking the X1 for a ride anyway but it would have been kind of pointless, and then the salesman started hammering me on buying a CPO X3 with 50kmiles for the same price and I had to get out of there.

Yes - for the upgrading timing chain components.

Yes- 4/2015, so it should have the upgraded chain and guides.
