This is an update from my February 1, 2019 review.

This is an update from my February 1, 2019 review. I have now owned the vehicle for nearly seven years. I’ve personally driven nearly 20,000 miles in it. The vehicle now has nearly 50,000 miles on the odometer. I purchased it certified pre-owned from a BMW dealership. I have maintained the vehicle to manufacturer specifications. I have only paid for routine maintenance. I have paid for zero repairs. My previous review is confirmed. Full disclosure, two repairs were covered under warranty by the BMW dealership when I purchased the vehicle and one other repair was performed by a different BMW dealership due to their mistake during a routine service.

A treat to own and drive

So reliable and fun to drive, even in snow. I’m tall and seats are comfy, even in rear. Very versatile with good cargo space. Love the kick-to-open rear door. Mileage is around 28 mpg, it requires premium fuel. It drives a little sluggish when not in Sport mode.

Affordable Luxury!

Im glad BMW came out with x1, sometimes customers want to drive a nice looking car and settle for models that end up having major issues and the 100k “warranty” promised it’s just a selling features that never works Becuase every time you take your car “nothing it’s wrong” The BMW has been a great addition to the family; drives great and feels very solid. We love it!

Best car I’ve ever bought!

Gorgeous car inside and out. Never would have expected to purchase a certified pre-owned vehicle, but I would do it again. My parents actually thought it was brand new!

Beautiful interior super comfortable

Just drove it on a seven hour trip mostly raining but the car handled great and was super comfortable. Big enough for a full grown man, but handles like a sports car.

Fun little SUV

I love the pep this car has. It’s a perfect size for me and is definitely going to get me my first speeding ticket. I really like how open the dash feels for a smaller SUV. I feel like I have much better visibility while driving it. It’s a perfect combination of fun and luxury, without being over the top. My only complaint is that is makes my husband’s car look so cheap next to it. Guess we’ll have to get another one!?!

Reliable Car

Love my new car. Safe, clean, reliable car with low mileage. Finnicum is a company our family trusts. This was our second purchase from Finnicum.

Fun and reliable car.

The X1 BMW is perfect for me and fun to drive. It's as nice as the X3 inside and out, but easier for me to handle.

BMW Des Moines great dealership to work with!

Very happy with this Certified Pre-Owned BMW X1; handles well, great safety features including the heads-up display feature, good fuel economy and attractive styling. Plenty of legroom front and back.
