2018 BMW X2 First Drive

Brian Wong

CARS.COM — The first time I wrote about the latest model from BMW, the all-new 2018 X2, was after seeing it for the first time at the 2018 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, and I was not that impressed. I chalk up my lukewarm feelings in some part to SUV fatigue. The X2 is the sixth SUV in the BMW lineup and we already know a three-row SUV, the X7, will start production this year.

Suffice it to say, when I heard that I'd be testing the X2, I was not all that excited. After all, it shares its powertrain, wheelbase and interior design with the X1. But after spending a day with one on the street and the track at the BMW Performance Center in the California desert, I can admit that my lack of enthusiasm was misguided. (Per company policy, Cars.com pays for its airfare and lodging to such automaker events.)

Hey, Good Lookin'

At first, I liked the X2's styling simply because it breaks from the other even-numbered BMW sports activity coupes (BMW's name, not ours... Read More

Warranty FAQs

What is a Bumper-to-Bumper warranty?

Often called a basic warranty or new-vehicle warranty, a bumper-to-bumper policy covers components like air conditioning, audio systems, vehicle sensors, fuel systems and major electrical components. Most policies exclude regular maintenance like fluid top offs and oil changes, but a few brands have separate free-maintenance provisions, and those that do offer them is slowly rising. Bumper-to-bumper warranties typically expire faster than powertrain warranties.

What is a Powertrain warranty?

Don't be misled a 10-year or 100,000-mile powertrain warranty doesn't promise a decade of free repairs for your car. It typically covers just the engine and transmission, along with any other moving parts that lead to the wheels, like the driveshaft and constant velocity joints. Some automakers also bundle seat belts and airbags into their powertrain warranties. With a few exceptions, powertrain warranties don't cover regular maintenance like engine tuneups and tire rotations.

What is included in Roadside Assistance?

Some automakers include roadside assistance with their bumper-to-bumper or powertrain warranties, while others have separate policies. These programs cover anything from flat-tire changes and locksmith services to jump-starts and towing. Few reimburse incidental costs like motel rooms (if you have to wait for repairs).

What other services could be included in a warranty?

Some automakers include free scheduled maintenance for items such as oil changes, air filters and tire rotations. Some include consumables including brake pads and windshield wipers; others do not. They are typically for the first couple of years of ownership of a new car.

What does CPO mean?

A certified pre-owned or CPO car has been inspected to meet minimum quality standards and typically includes some type of warranty. While dealers and third parties certify cars, the gold standard is an automaker-certified vehicle that provides a factory-backed warranty, often extending the original coverage. Vehicles must be in excellent condition and have low miles and wear to be certified, which is why off-lease vehicles feed many CPO programs.
