Used BMW X1 2015-present review

Engines

Of the engines on offer, there is little need to look beyond the 18d, unless you need four-wheel drive. We’d also suggest you look for an automatic version; the X1's eight-speed unit is smooth in slow-moving traffic, but responds quickly when you need acceleration. It also helps the X1 to keep the revs down when cruising on the motorway, to the benefit of fuel economy.
