With a capital letter. Stylish, safe, powerful, comfortable and bright. List of adjectives can be continued for a long time. But among them there will be no cheap and simple. Plants have BMW a lot, branches where cars are going, even more. Is there a "BMW" not German assembly? After all, the latest models are going even in Russia. Let's figure it out in this matter. Be sure to recall the history of the company, from which everything began, the model range, features and, of course, the place of assembly.
The main power "BMW"
All major production facilities are located in Germany at BMW. The car manufacturer of the car of the famous brand, of course, is also Germany. But only if they are made at factories in Munich, Regensburg, Dingolfing or Leipzig. Indeed, today BMW also gather in India, Thailand, China, Egypt, USA, South African Republic and Russia. In total there are 22 non-German enterprises "BMW".
The default assembly quality is determined by the main country-producer - Germany. What is being taken to keep the originality of the assembly?
1. Cars in BMW branches are made from finished nodes supplied directly from Germany plants.
2. Permanent quality control of auto assembly, qualification qualifications from the center.
3. Regular improvement of the qualifications of employees of branches.
Little excursion in the history of the BMW brand
The beginning was laid in the early 20s of the last century. 1913 is considered a year of foundation, and in 1917 the company was recorded - aircraft engines. Yes, BMW originally had a slightly different profile than today's. War period left his mark. But after the end of hostilities, the production of aircraft engines was prohibited.
To somehow survive, the management of the company decided to release motorcycles. Since 1923, BMW has been producing light motorcycles. There was a moment when the motorcycles were also banned, and the plants were interrupted on bicycles and tools. However, difficult times are still ends. Since 1948, BMW continues to release motorcycles, and from 1951 the first post-war BMW 501 car comes out.
From the end of the 50s, the company "BMW", the manufacturer of which is Germany, goes to the production of sports cars. Actively participating in races, BMW products occupy prizes, thereby increasing her fame. In 1975, the development of the 3rd BMW family - E21 begins.
How to figure out BMW models
For almost 100 years of development of the company, a huge number of cars were developed and issued. Only one of the so-called families of BMW numbers 9. Among them are the most popular and numerous:
- 3rd series;
- 5th series;
- 7th series;
- X-series.
In each family, cars are divided into bodies. For example, in the 3rd series, the first model in 1975 was E21. And only in 1982 he was changed by the body E30. To be more clear, consider the model E21 with the designation 320i. Here 3 is a family number or series; 20 is a 2.0-liter engine volume, and the letter "I" denotes the fuel injection engine. 320 has only a carburetor engine, most often the firm "Solex".
The stylistic features of the models most often only be distinguished by professionals, so it is recommended to watch documents to fully identify the car "BMW". VIN Auto gives all the necessary information on the model, engine, and also opens access to component details in the original directories. What "BMW", which country-producer - on these and other issues will be available in the documents and under the hood of the car.
Separate representatives are the machines of the series Z and M. These families have their own special numbering and identification, due to their special production. The TECHNIK branch is engaged in the development of prototypes, and the Motorsport compartment products are labeled. There is also an American enterprise BMW and the two models released by the Model coupe L7 and L6. Externally, they can be confused with the 7th suite in 23 body. However, this is the 6th series models, with a large number of additional options issued specifically for the US domestic market.
The most famous and popular BMW
The most famous BMW car, whose manufacturer is real Germany, can be considered Z8. This car was produced less than 5 years, had a classic view of the rhodster of the past 507, but at the same time modern filling. Z8 got his incredible popularity for being in the film "And the whole world is not enough." For the movie, the car was still improved and turned into a real spy car.
The most popular "BMW", according to reviews, is the model of the 3rd series in 46 bodies. These cars sold the maximum number. The third family of the company in 2014 was the best selling. Almost 477 thousand buyers made a choice in favor of the 3 series.
Latest new products from "BMW"
The company of the famous German car manufacturer BMW continues to develop new masterpieces for their fans and connoisseurs. Among the innovations of recent years should be noted 740le - auto with a hybrid engine and a full drive. In a mixed cycle, such a car should consume no more than 2.5 liters of fuel per 100 km.
For Russians, BMW X1 of the Russian assembly became available. The car is presented in 3 fixed configurations. As options to choose from either a diesel power unit in 150 "horses", or a gasoline engine in 192 "Horses" with a volume of 2.0 liters.
760li is especially noticeable among 7-ok. This "BMW", whose manufacturer's country is still Germany, has a very powerful motor in 609 liters. from. with a volume of 6.6 liters. The maximum speed of the car is hardware limited 250 km / h, but before the first 100 it is possible to accelerate only in 3.7 seconds.
The X family has a real leader - this is the top model X4 M40i. The new car gasoline unit has 360 "horses" and 3 liters of volume. Intelligent four-wheel drive ensures the distribution of the load on the axes. In the case of slipping to the main rear, the front axle is connected. The 8-sighted automatic transmission and shock absorbers with electronic self-adjustment create the most pleasant impressions of the new X4 control.
Famous BMW X5.
The BMW X5 car is unusually popular in Russia. This is due to a whole set of pleasant features:
- Four-wheel drive.
- Stylish and solid model design.
- Impressive characteristics.
- Reliability and quality from "BMW", whose manufacturer is originally Germany.
The latest update of the model, which took place in 2013 (F15), it turned out with large body dimensions and more environmentally friendly engines. 2 gasoline and 2 diesel power units are provided. A stronger gasoline engine has a volume of 4.4 liters and a capacity of 450 liters. s., whereas the smaller - 3.0 liters and 306 liters. from. The turbocharged diesel engines are made in volumes of 3 and 2 liters with more modest 258 and 218 "horses", respectively. In all variations, X5 F15 is installed 8-speed automatic transmission.
Popular today "BMW X5" (the manufacturer - the country of Germany or Russia) is well for sale in the market of secondary cars.
"BMW x6"
Immediately for X5 BMW released the following version of the all-wheel drive crossover of the X-car family. And at the end of 2014, a modified version under the F16 index was published. Initially, the car in Russian circles did not fit. Wine could be a positive perception of the previous model. Well, I liked X5 to Russians. But gradually selling cars began to grow, and X6 confidently began to gain momentum. What attracts attention to this pattern from BMW?
The appearance of the car has aggressive and sports notes. Power units with each model are increasingly being finalized in order to increase power and reduce fuel consumption. Suspension auto multi-type with controlled electronics by shock absorbers. There are several modes for optimal control over any road surface. Among the innovation inside the cabin, a projection screen can be noted. In general, "BMW X6", whose manufacturer's country is real Germany, is still valued more than the same car, but the Russian assembly.
"Mini Cooper" from "BMW"
The car "Mini Cooper" is one of the non-completely standard solutions of the company BMW. Gone in 2002 from the conveyor, he became the second birth of the legendary in his time the British car. All that is done "BMW" is qualitatively, reliably and powerful. It did not exception this mini-car.
Several options for gasoline and diesel power units accelerate the typewriter over 200 km / h. "Baby" is surprisingly cutting and powerful. For example, a 1.6 liter gasoline engine has a power of 184 liters. from. A good clutch with an expensive creates a little hard suspension. Fuel consumption also leaves much to be desired. In general, the car has a special charm and, undoubtedly, finds his fans. After all, this is the second birth of the legend - "Mini Cooper". The manufacturer is a country, "BMW" in which he feels in his homeland, not always Germany.
Features of the Russian assembly
As for the Russian assembly of BMW, she is engaged in the Kaliningrad enterprise "Avtotor". Almost all X-family is gathering here: x1, x3, x5 and x6. "BMW" of the Russian assembly does not differ from the original. After all, the assembly is made on German equipment, according to German standards and under control. But the main thing is that cars are going from ready-made nodes.
Today, questions: "Who releases" BMW "? What is the country-producer? " - It is impossible to give a definite answer. BMW has 27 factories around the world. Production quality is everywhere at the highest level. In addition, there are no automated assembly lines. This stage is always done by hand by experts.
Conclusion
The history of the company "BMW" shows that with due effort and desire to achieve new results, gives its "fruits". Several times, this firm was on the verge of bankruptcy, but every time he bloomed. Today BMW is one of the most famous and successful car manufacturers all over the world. Only Toyota besides the neo can boast such a fact as the permanent annual increase in profits.
Country-producer of cars "BMW" originally Germany. At the same time, the quality and reliability of cars produced by subsidiaries remain at the same high level.
BMW cars are German quality and maximum level of comfort. Every fan and owner of any brand model knows about it. Especially when it comes to BMW X1 crossover. This model has practically no shortcomings, except the price bite. To date, the second generation of "German" is available to Russian buyers. Many owners are interested where they collect BMW X1 in 2017 for the domestic market? In fact, this car model is produced immediately in six countries of the world. The main thing and most powerful enterprise is located in Germany in Leipzig. In addition, the release of the crossover is adjacent to:
- China
- India
- Mexico
- Thailand
- Russia.
Maybe for someone will be a surprise the fact that in the Russian Federation also make BMW X1. The car is collected at the Kaliningrad company Avtotor. By the way, there are also other models of the German brand: BMW 3 Series, 5 Series, X3 and X5. You can simply just go past this German crossover. The car was made according to the analogue of the previous model. Both cars are very similar to each other, and some fans call them competitors. This generation, as is the previous one, has excellent handling. The car perfectly fits into turns and calmly behaves on the road. And if the predecessor had some shortcomings and defects, the BMW x1 of the second generation was deprived of all these flaws.
Characteristics of BMW X1
This "German" is built on another platform - UKL. The all-wheel drive crossover led to the fact that some of the machine performance steel is less. The dimensions of the new BMW x1 now make up: 4439 mm × 1821 mm × 1598 mm. The wheelbase of the car also changed - 2670 millimeters. Where the BMW X1 is released, they know how these indicators affect the choice of buyers. Although the car has become a little less, it did not affect its reliability and quality. Clearance of the new German crossover - 183 millimeters. In the car model range, this upgraded unit fits perfectly. The manufacturer has installed a large radiator lattice on the car, a solid bumper with considerable air intakes and a round-shaped fog.
Buyers can choose a machine with 17, 18 or 19-inch wheels. Overall optics and LED "Stuffing" give this car by masculinity and sportiness. The manufacturer offers a crossover in ten different shades of metallic. The car has become smaller in size, but inside, on the contrary, it is now sufficiently comfortable and cozy. The front seats became higher than 36 millimeters, and the rear by as much as 64 millimeters. Now passengers from behind we will be more space for legs. The usual trunk state is 505 liters, with folded seats, the volume is 1550 liters.
The quality of finishing materials here is a magnificent. It looks expensive and luxurious. Motor gamma crossover is very rich. The Germans offer customers a car with two options for gasoline and three diesel units. The volume of engines in all acromests is 2.0 liters, but the power is different. It can be:
- 192 Strong Motor (280 nm)
- 231-strong unit (350 nm)
- 150-strong diesel (330 nm)
- 190-strong diesel (400 nm)
- 231-strong diesel (450 nm).
Also, depending on the configuration and power plant, the crossover consumes a different amount of fuel. On average, the indicator is from 4.5 to 6.5 liters. Where BMW X1 is produced, they tried to make a car economical in terms of fuel consumption.
Disadvantages of crossover
It is known how ideal by anything or another vehicle, he will have its pros and cons. Of course, the BMW X1 advantages more than flaws, but still, there are missions. The cost of "German" is quite high, as for auto class. The basic option will cost the buyer in 1,990,000 rubles. Agree, not many can afford such a car. But, this is not the most important thing. It is surprised by the fact that there is no spawning in the car with such a price. For use on our roads, the absence of a spare wheel is invalid.
Another defect is a huge tunnel in the legs of the rear passenger. Every time someone will leather through it, be sure to blur it, as there are no rug on it. Also, it is not enough in the cabin to store the necessary things. You will not even be able to put the A4 format documents in the glove box. It seems to be a trifle, but still. When on the street wet and dirty, after another trip, all the rear window and the back of the crossover will be dirty. And finally, leather interior.
Maybe this is not a lack for someone, but I think many will agree with me that even the highest quality genuine leather does not compare with a pleasant natural cloth. Especially in summer, it is not very pleasant to stick and bathe even in a beautiful leather chair. It does not matter where BMW X1 collected in 2017, we or in Germany, according to the quality of the car, almost identical.
Reninzion to the brakes in x1 is a minimum. Perhaps, only the ABS unit can "get up" when clogging a niche in which it is installed, and start climbing, but no more serious problems are foreseen. Not very cheap shoe sensors - not a problem, just change the pads in advance. Brake discs are not too expensive, and the pads are a penny. The resource of the discs is usually two or three replacements of the pads, and the pads go 20-30 thousand kilometers - a completely reasonable resource for modern standards, although high-quality unoriginal discs can pass and slightly more, especially if you choose "soft" pads. The brake system is very sensitive to the quality of the brake fluid, it is recommended not to forget about the replacement intervals.
The suspension is here too without surprises. The warmest elements with active movement are the ball supports in front and hydrophopper of the lower front lever: their resource is about 40-80 thousand kilometers for original parts. Moreover, the hydraulic man is often incorrectly diagnosed even in a specialized service, and steering vibrations refer to the problems of the tire or braking system.
Engines and power
2.0 l, 116-245 liters. from.
From small "surprises" - the absence of a cross-stability stabilizer inserts is expected only to assemble. In practice, the owners, of course, put rubber bands from E91.
The nuance is only that the "native" gums are glued, so when replacing new, it is also recommended to glue the stabilizer to save the resource. The location zone is strongly polluted, and if this is not done, the resource of the parts will be to the offensive small - about 10-20 thousand kilometers.
Behind everything is quite reliably, the main thing is not to forget to follow the state of the subframe silent blocks on powerful versions. Otherwise, the external hinges of the carrier lever and diagonal "links" with two silent blocks are followed. With them you can count on 70-100 thousand resource on good roads - the remaining elements are strongly dependent on the style of driving and load.
And, by the way, about tires: like on many other Bavarian machines there is no room for a date, since x1 is regularly equipped with RUNFLAT tires. But here their profile is higher than on passenger cars - makes a tire noticeably more rigid.
The cost of the front / rear brake pads
Price for the original:
5 571/3 806 rubles
Many note that during the transition to the "ordinary" rubber, the car becomes much more comfortable, and at the same time less demanding to the state of the suspension. With standard rubber x1 pleases not only good handling, but also increased requirements for the state of shock absorbers and supports suspension, as well as the state of all hinges, silent blocks and supports.
The steering is the usual, with hydraulic rail and optional servotronic module. But the rake, unfortunately, flows. The problem is in weak seals and corrosion of the rod. However, the bulkhead is mastered, and a thorough check of the rail is recommended when buying and on each. So, if the liquid in the Bach is still decreasing, the price of repairs will be from 15 thousand rubles.
Transmission
The first serious surprises wait for potential buyers X1 exactly here. No, there are no problems with the MCPP, and in the transfer boxes, gears and electric motors are still dying - this is not a surprise. And the automatic transmission here is all long known. With the Motors of the N52 series of early editions, the GM 6L45R automatic transmission is most often found, six-speed. Machines of later releases usually have automatic transmission ZF 6HP19. The same automatic transmission is often found in conjunction with the atmospheric engines of the N46B20 series, from 2011 to 2015, but the GM automatic transmission was installed onto part of the cars. Since 2009, almost all diesel engines and machines with Motor Motors of the N20B20 have been equipped with a new eight-adjusted automatic transmission ZF 8HP45Z.

The GM transmission of this series is very reliable, because it is intended for large tracks and digest the moment up to 450 nm. The design drawbacks of the predecessors in the face of 5l40 almost disappeared - the petal pump has improved, changed the materials and form of the rotor, GDT has become more reliable, and its blocking is significantly resource and less pollutes oil. With a timely replacement of fluid, the box goes long enough.
In the winter, it falls in winter because of the "childish" problem - acts about the stock selection rod. During runs for 150 thousand, it is often necessary to intermediate repairs with a replacement of linear solenoids. If you drive with jerks, it may not break the mechanics, and the electronics is the automatic transmission control unit assembly with solenoids. GDT repair is most often happening when runs for 200-250 thousand, but in the case of the "sports" style of driving, a resource can be two less.
The mechanical part basically suffers from dirty oil - problems start with slow down switching 2-3 and rear transmission, on - blows when you turn on all transmissions, which will require expensive repairs. In general, this gearbox is a very successful design, although on the ride characteristics and lagging behind the ZF automatic transmission.
ZF six hundred people have long been known to all services. The first experience in the introduction of electronics in the ACAP itself with the formation of "mechatronics" to some extent was ingenious. The transition to more economical hydraulic schemes and improved kinematics was also a breakthrough. But the owners more remembered excellent dynamics and very expensive and frequent repairs of these transmissions.
The runs of 200 thousand kilometers are the limit, the repair at the same time is extremely voluminous and expensive. On the boxes of those series, which was raised on x1, most often the breakdowns are associated with the "Mechatronics" failures, but in this case it changes not entirely. In most cases, it is limited to cleaning and replacing the separator plate and the control of the operation of loaded solenoids. The resource problems of this series of automatic transmission starts after 150 thousand kilometers: first of all, it needs to be replaced by the GDT blocking linings, and if the oil has not changed or rarely changed, then in the replacement of all bushings and repair of the oil pump. Fans of "Press the Sackage" every time the resource of GDT drops to hundreds of thousands, but even with a very calm ride, the lining is unlikely to reach out until 200-250 - the box is quite actively using the possibility of partial blocking even with a calm movement.
The eight-adjusted automatic transmission 8HP45Z is famous for the dependence of the resource from the style of movement, as well as excellent opportunities for electronic diagnostics of its condition. For details, you can contact the "Five" material. Speaking in general, the resource fell a little more, but the number of serious refuses "Mechatronics" has less boxes, and it will better endure hard modes and overheating. True, in repair it is also more expensive than its six-speed predecessors.
Actually, the resource of the automatic transmission of modern BMW is not a surprise, as well as the price of repair. Surprises begin with anterior gearbox, which, with all its incompleteness, often turns out to be without oil and with damaged bearings. However, howl when dumping gas can be caused by the problems of the dispensing box. With the younger series of motors, the ATC35L series was too weak, which tritely does not withstand off-road "feats". The stronger ATC350 is kept noticeably better - it also put instead of "junior" in the event of the release of the latter.
Yes, and the rear gearbox on the versions of 28iX and 25DX is inclined to "disappear in full". If you skip the moment of separation of one or even two silent fastening, then you can "get" to replace the drive shafts assembly.
Fortunately, there is nothing more to break here. Is that the resource of anthers Sls from the front is small: they are recommended to change every 50,000 kilometers. They, as a rule, begin to "sweat" in the summer, and in the winter the loss of tightness can be skipped, and then the hinge itself will have to change.
Motors
The cost of the radiator N46.
Price for the original:
20 369 rubles
Most of the cars are equipped with atmospheric engines of the N46B20 series and diesel N47B20. Of the general difficulties - a very dense layout of radiators, and on motors with a superior, not a very successful form of the intercooler - it is very difficult to rinse it. But let's start with a more popular on x1 diesel engine.
Diesels of the N47 series are good for all - with a tight, power and economy. To all other than good chances to ruin the owner and the characteristic noise of timber, well heard in the cabin. Motors until 2011 issues have a frankly small resource of the timing chain, which is located on the side of the flywheel. Of course, the price of its replacement is extremely large, since the procedure includes the removal of the engine. Well, the flap of the intake manifold, over time, seeking to get into cylinders, and the capricious piezoquorms will complete the picture.
If the chains changed under warranty, then you can count on the resource of about 250 thousand kilometers before the bulkhead, but some of the cars did not hit the revocation campaign, and the owners consider the chain timing "eternal", so that the chances of buying a problem copy remain. Usually these Machine Machine breaks up from 80 thousand when runs, but the upper boundary hesitates. Part of the cars could pass the warranty repairs until 2011, with the replacement of the crankshaft and chains on the "intermediate", but also an unsuccessful option - in this case, the chance of slipping the timing chains and a break of the chain of the oil pump, but with a slightly large runs than that of the initial version .
The resource of piezo formo is limited approximately 150-200 thousand mileage kilometers, and they can deliver a lot of trouble. In the case of leaks, it is characteristic of them, it can happen either by hydrate, or a piston squeak. Therefore, it is recommended to check the nozzles for the presence of a series in an interview campaign. Against the background of these difficulties, little things like current heat exchangers, the presence of options without a heater, "buggy" EGR and clogging of the particulate filter - just just nonsense. The rest of the motor is very good - if it took about it and changed the oil on time, then it is quite capable of please the owner of such a car.
But the gasoline N46 is unlikely to be. Many believe that a two-liter atmospheric motor is much easier than diesel engines and turbocharged N20. Apparently, because there are so many cars with him. That's just in practice, this is a set of absurdities that are hung on a two-liter "atmospheric".
Sophisticated underprise inlet, high temperature thermostat temperature, adjustable oil pump - All this reduces reliability and increases the price of servicing the banal "four" to the disproportionate performance of its size. In addition, the motor is famous for the banal mask. And let the fans of the brand tell that it is good, as the oil is constantly updated, but it is precise as a consequence of a piston group to crawl due to an unsuccessful oil drain from the groove of the oil-chain ring, its unsuccessful shape, low heat belt and thin compression rings. Ends the picture the electronic oil level sensor, which sometimes fails, with the result that the motor is sent to the garbage quickly and easily.
The RMS circuit resource is about 150 thousand kilometers, as much as the valvetronic mechanism on the standard oil. In principle, everything can be put in order: replace the piston group to the upgraded, change the timing, clean and move the engine ... But most of the owners of such cars simply pour oil. Because it is recommended to buy only if you carefully read this paragraph, and all of the listed you are not bothering you. In any other case, it is better to take or tested the "six" N52B30 time, the most successful from its series. Its problems are approximately similar to the N46 series, but stretched over time in two or two and a half times. Another alternative is a gasoline N20, a completely new motor with a superposition. Of the advantages of the notorious "atmospheric" - except relative simplicity and maintainability: there are also repair dimensions, and spare parts, and methods for restoring all nodes. Yes, and find a contract aggregate is not a problem.
BMW X1 E84.
Fuel consumption per 100 km
N20B20 In two forcing options - the engine is significantly more new and according to the characteristics not equal to the old N46. True, the price of restoration of such an advanced engine - soluminous, with a "cunning" geometry of a piston group, adjustable by the oil pump, the cooling system, direct injection and turbocharging - more at times, and the resource of the piston group with a small forcing is equal to the RCM resource on N46. However, yet the machine with it is noticeably fresh, better served and small problems are noticeably less. Yes, and go much better.
From the "special" troubles - the flows of the cooling system of the cooling system: it is the main and only one, its price is quite large, but there are no cheap substitutes. There are still leaks of oil glasses: until 2014, it was plastic, and inside did not withstand the oil pressure partition. In this regard, it is strongly recommended (if it was not yet done under warranty) replacement for a glass number 11 42 7 548 032 with a heat exchanger number 11 42 7 525 333 - these are all-aluminum parts.
The GDM resource with an active movement is less than 100 thousand kilometers, and the signs of the death chain of the oil pump drive in lovers "like" on the cold motor are observed and under runs less than 70. Unfortunately, the motor was replaced by a newer series without waiting for debugging. In addition to these troubles, there is always a small chance of piston jackets, and the control electronics festers regularly. Options with different power differ in a piston group, and the chipovka significantly reduces the engine's resource due to increasing the tendency to detonation and poor-quality settings. But the power of about 350 and the more power is quite achievable.
Summary
As you can see, X1 is a good car. Too simple with the form of modern standards of the brand, but nevertheless, well-fit in the niche allotted. She is deliberately simple in many moments - and this is good because it reduces the price of service, and that to the pleasure of driving, then it is enough, because the chassis is taller.
The best option from the point of view of mechanics is the most likely a car with a row "six" and "gun" GM under the hood, but a diesel engine with a replaced timing, fresh nozzles and without additional problems will be easy to compete according to the dynamics, and on fuel consumption and general practicality It will be noticeable. With a slight run, you can risk and take a car with a turbocharged gasoline engine: it is really good, and in combination with an eight-speed automatic transmission, it shows the wonders of the dynamics and savings. He is also recommended for all fans of serious tuning.
Your voiceWe held under the E84 sector, at first glance, identify as compact crossovers were difficult: a squat and elongated silhouette rather resembled a raised wagon. The new machine, which received the code name F48, does not leave space for discrepancies. It is built not on the 3rd series platform, as the predecessor, - its donor was the 2nd series Active Tourer. As a result of the violation of all canons, the X1 significantly reduced the overall length and base, the height, on the contrary, increased. Here is such a renormand unexpected. And in class affiliation, the car is no longer necessary to doubt.
More elegant headlights are reminded in the form of the Lighting Devices of the 1st Series, and the radiator grille almost degrees the front bumper, no longer being its component element. Lanterns are ejected and deprived of sharp corners. In general, an externally car looks at the same time solid and more aggressive, which can be considered a certain plus.
The dimensions of the new generation car (changes compared to the predecessor are given in brackets).
Interior, convenience of landing and capacity
To understand the details of the design of the front panel at the Bavarians - the case is ungrateful, since the corporate identity in all models is carried out perfectly. The differences, of course, are, but they are difficult to treat even a specialist. Nevertheless, it is worth noting several changes compared to the E84 generation. First-way on the instrument shield between the dials of the speedometer and the tachometer disappeared the rectangle of the onboard computer. The monitor of the multimedia system is a basic 6.5-inch or an optional 8.8-inch - released from the front panel niche and brighted on top of the torpedo. Changed the "music" and climate control plates. By the way, and the other looks much more elegant. The shape of the air ducts of the heating system, the location of the engine start button, the organization of space around the gear selection selector and also a bunch of small things also updated, which has a beneficial effect on the aesthetics of the driver's seat, and on its ergonomics.
The cardinal reduction of length, including the base, did not affect the capacity of the cabin. For the feet of the rear row passengers, the designers are generally managed to carve additional 37 mm. Even a fair growth of characters with convenience will be easy to spread on the sofa, not risking the knees about the backrest ahead of the standing armchair. Yes, and at the level of the shoulders, the interior expanded - a little, of course, but for small cars there is literally every millimeter.
The trunk was much larger: the minimum volume increased by 85 liters, and with folded seats - by 200 liters. There is no miracle here: the height of the car has grown, and the length of the hood fell, because the engine is now located crosswise.
Dynamics and economy
The smallness upsets the basic front-wheel drive, which got a car along with the platform from Active Tourer. At the same time, it makes it happy that the fashion for three-cylinder motors, who had already settled under the hood of the 1st series, did not get to the "X-first", at least as long as. If the first generation machines started a 150-strong unit, then the countdown starts from 192-strong. It is 8 liters. from. Powerful predecessor, and the torque is 10 nm above. In this case, the motor saves 0.4 liters on the highway and 1.4 liters in the city. The next engine is new for a compact crossover. At 231 hp And 315 Nm, it requires about the same amount of fuel as the less powerful fellow.
Diesels are still two, but both added in power - 6 and 13 liters. from. respectively. Everything without exception is equipped with automatic gearboxes.
Budget
The price of the E84 generation began with a mark of 1,810,000 rubles, now for the car will have to post at least 1,960,000. But it should be borne in mind that the basic is now not version 18i, but more powerful 20i. In addition, it is much better equipped with: in the list of standard equipment, the help of attitudes on the rise, "start-stop", electromechanical parking brake, parking assistant, LED headlights and parking sensors. If you compare, say, all-wheel drive versions 20i in both generations, which it turns out that the old one cost 2,006,000 rubles, and the new pulls on 2,100,000 casual. That is, the rise in price is still observed, although minor. The cheapest diesel engine was offered for 2,001,000 rubles with "mechanics" and 2,028,000 with a "automatic". Now the price tag starts with 2,200,000 rubles, and this is already a difference of 10 percent.
Safety
EuroNcap tested in 2012 a first-generation restyled car, and she received five stars. The new X1 security tests have not yet been subjected, but it is unlikely to give way to the predecessor. The newly developed XDrive actuator system demonstrates exceptional efficiency, flexibly redistributing the power between the front and rear wheels depending on the conditions of movement during any weather. Armer and rear suspension levers are made of high strength steel. The optional driving assistant system includes the functions of tracking, long-term control, warning about the danger of collision and automatic braking in urban environments, a speed limit indicator indicating the overtaking bar and much more.

Ownership reviews
I liked the machine outwardly ... and that's it! There was a factory marriage associated with the turbine, so I did not have time to ride, as I realized that she did not accelerate ...
For the same money, I would have Toyota Rav4 good configuration, and here neither the key automatic (all the time I had to search in the bag), and the trunk is also open with your hand / close. In the cabin stinks diesel. It is not clear, I bought what Kamaz?!
Very strong disappointment. After my last Toyota RAY 4, the new BMW X1 seems "inspired"!

You may be surprised, but I moved to the new BMW X1 with the BMW X3 of the last generation. With compact dimensions, the BMW X1 salon is more spacious than X3. All thanks to the front-wheel drive platform. I do not understand why BMW clung to the rear-wheel drive concept so long. The handling of the new car also has become better. She now does not grow in Kolas, as my former BMW X3. The smoothness has also become better.
Salon overall comfortable and spacious, spacious trunk. The driver's chair seemed harsh, but soon got used to. The landing is high, the visibility is good, only the side mirrors are not enough. But the devices liked less than on the old BMW X3. Here part of the information is displayed on the dashboard, and the digitometer digitization is small, and the part on the central screen of the multimedia system.
The equipment of the basic configuration was pleasantly surprised, since before BMW offered completely empty cars in the database. There is a two-zone climate control, an electric drive cover of the trunk, front and rear parking sensors, heated the front seats, electrical heating injectors of washer.
But BMW X1 can be forgive everything, for its magnificent running quality. The speaker is very good, the car literally breaks away from the place, overtaking are easy and easy. Automatic transmission works smoothly. At the same time, the machine is economical, even with active ride (and otherwise it is difficult to ride it) The average consumption does not exceed 10-11 liters per 100 km.
Manageability reference. The suspension provides an optimal balance between energy intensity and comfort. Road clearance is quite sufficient for our roads, on the snow-covered parking lots, it helps a full drive. You can only find fault with the fact that the sound insulation of the wheeled arches is not very good, at high speed you can hear how the tires are noisy.
Review of the new BMW IKS 1 2.0 (192 hp) at AWD 2015
So, specifically my ix was assembled in Kaliningrad at the end of November 2016. By the way, I was very worried about LAN. After all, like any Russian, I feed the passion for purebred bavarians, but I will say: the fears turned out to be in vain.
Rubber Ranflet on 18-inch drives. And then the most annoying thing is that there is in this car: the noise of rubber on asphalt! This is not my whim and not pampering: all the trip you hear how the tires are noisy! If you have a pretty decent shumkov, you do not hear the sounds of the street, but still, his mother, hear the tires! Each bodie or irregularity, every crack in the asphalt, each pebble - this was not in any of my cars! It should be paid attention to this, since I do not exaggerate, but rather the problem is understood.
Sitting in my case are sports, with decent side support, however, without lumbar support, which personally is problematic for me, for for long trips, the back of the back.
Lights: LED, swivels, shine perfectly in the dark (better, according to my feelings, only Mercedes). Washer! This was a surprise! I waited for a long time when the headlights were omitted - I did not wait for an equity for the sake of, it is worth noting that they are not polluted especially, maybe in view of good aerodynamics, and maybe due to the fact that they are not heated.
Box: 8-speed, frisky, no complaints. True, a couple of times at the start of the IX twisted, but the zero reported that there were no problems. I believe, but I will be attended)
Dynamics: pain! Lack of 150 horses! And if in the sport mode wherever nothing went, then I'm afraid to overtake comfort! You're like and give a pedal, and he does not go. Well, more accurately rides, but not at all, as you expect.
Feedback on BMW X1 2.0D (150 hp) automatic transmission 2016
Impressions are mostly positive. Auto economical, with sports habits, convenient, universal for its size. It has a sufficient set of options in the database, good price-quality ratio.
The main disadvantage is bad noise insulation from the wheels. If you ride only with your and get used to, then you can accept. But it is worth putting a number of an extraneous person, it becomes uncomfortable for a kind of a decent car.
Runflat tires go in the database. Because of them, additional noise, increased sensitivity to rut, increased rigidity, the inability to sell almost new tires for a good price ...
There is also a gul of transmissions on not heated cars. In the summer, it takes a few minutes after launch. Up to -10 degrees Gul disappears during the movement. If -25 and below, I did not have big runs to wait for the gul.
Eugene, review about BMW X1 (F48) 2.0 (192 hp) xDrive 2016
My choice is white, 2.0d xDrive (four-wheel drive plus diesel), 190 hp and 400 nm. Traction and "mares" grabs with your head. Consumption, however, is Velic: 10-11 liters in the city. If you enable the start-stop system, you can save a liter-two, but I often turn it off, for it annoys. First, in traffic jams it slows down. Secondly, the steering amplifier will cut down along with the engine, which is also uncomfortable. To save, there is also Eco-Pro mode, but with him the car ceases to be BMW. Not interested.
Comfortable salon. For dimensions x1 there is quite a lot of space. Upholstery - fabric / leather, which is good in the heat, because there are no air ventilation. Rear is normal together. If you "embed" the third passenger in the middle, then it will be hidden on the start of the panel with climate lattices. I already picked up to extract these traces ...
The trunk is not huge, but organized competently. There is a double floor, you can hide a bunch of any useful little things. The rear armchairs are folded and shifted forward-back. Also the back of the front passenger seat is also folded. According to my observations, the lengths of up to 2.5 meters are easy to fit easily (recently a batch of plinths for home, without problems). The fifth door opens if you spend your foot under the bumper.
Completion from my "boumen" is one of the most expensive. This is my first car with an automatic parking machine ... Fich is cool, but I do not have enough patience to wait until it attaches itself. Too many unnecessary movements there and here ... I cope three times faster.
