Problems of BMW x1 2.0 gasoline. "In two-liter engines, the chain can break the chain." Review of the owner of the BMW X1. N20 and plastic cup

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 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 specialized service, and steering vibrations refer to tire problems or brake 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. You can count on 70-100 thousand resources for 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. For timely replacement Liquid 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. 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 Its status. 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 an 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 I. rear gearbox On versions of 28iX and 25DX, \u200b\u200bit is inclined to "take off 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 atmospheric engines 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 the chains on the "intermediate", but also an unsuccessful option - in this case, the chance of slipping the timing chains and the chain of the oil pump, but with a slightly large runsthan at the original option.

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 - gasoline N20, completely new Motor With 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 C. different power differ piston groupAnd 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.

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"!

Video Feedback

You may be surprised, but I moved to new BMW. X1 with BMW X3 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. Driver chair It 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 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 It 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 optimal balance between energy intensity and comfort. Ground clearance It is quite sufficient for our roads, on the snow-covered parking lots healthy helps a four-wheel 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 - white color, 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. Rear armchairs fold and move forward-back. Also folds the backrest passenger chair. 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.

We offer you the most complete list of icons that can light up on dashboard cars. Modern cars have many sensors and sensors, and also have electronic control Engine. All information from the sensors flocks in on-board computer cars. In case of any error, breakage or need to inform the driver, an important information automakers provided on the dashboard a large number of characters and inscriptions that light under certain conditions. Unfortunately, a wide variety of characters on the dashboard confuses many drivers and sometimes scares. We have collected more than 150 signal icons for you, which are found in more than 2,000 cars. The review includes 30 automotive brands.

Why icons on dashboard of different colors?

Car manufacturers have provided several types of inscriptions and symbols on the dashboard, separating them to different colors. For example, if you see the tidy not a red icon (for example, green or blue), then your car is most likely still working fine, and you can continue to move. But, nevertheless, you should not ignore the appearance of any warning in the panel.

If a red character appeared on the dashboard, the electronic system of the car warns you of a potentially serious problem.

If a yellow or orange icon appeared on the dashboard, then the car warns you that it is possible to car maintenance, diagnosis or repair.

Please note if the symbol flashes, then you should not tighten with a trip to the technical center.

And so start with the most important and serious symbols on the dashboard, and then in descending order of importance, continue to describe the values \u200b\u200bof icons on the dashboard.

Warning Symbols - Serious Warnings

If you see any of the following characters on the dashboard, in no case ignore the warning. Stop immediately, drag the engine, and urgently contact the automotive technical center or car service.

Attention! The following warning symbols should not be ignored. Otherwise, you can your machine can be seriously damaged.

Conventional and general icons on dashboard

The following characters on the dashboard are designed to warn the driver about the scheduled needs of the machine and remind you of what you need to do. For example, this type of icons warns you of a low level of glass fluid or that you have not closed the door. This type of icons can light up both on the dashboard and on the information and entertainment system (on the Console Center screen).

Lighting icons and symbols

Below are all indicators on the dashboard that are related to the lighting system of your car. Many icons, you probably saw in our car. Most of them light up green or blue.

Information displays on the dashboard for technical messages and warnings

IN last years in all modern cars Manufacturers began to install information displays into the dashboard, which are created to inform the driver more detailed information about the car and about many working systems. As a rule, this information screen is installed in the center of the dashboard.

There is a huge number of cars on the market that are equipped with a similar screen that can output various error information, warnings, etc.

Car system malfunction and safety warning symbols

If you see the specified icons on the dashboard, contact the dealer or in the car service as soon as possible. Attention! Symbols are indicated in the order of their importance (from serious to less serious warnings).

New cars In addition to standard pictograms on the dashboard have many new characters that refer to the indication of many functions of security systems and help to drive.

Special and Additional Icons Symbols on Car Dashboard

Symbols and indicators that we have entered this group are associated with special and new technological functions in modern cars. Part of the characters from this group in case of indication green Means that they are currently active. The other characters appear on the dashboard, report the driver about problems with work with a particular function. As a rule, there are either yellow or red icons.

Over the past few years, a lot of hybrid and electric carswho have new specific icons on the dashboard. Mostly special characters in hybrid cars Indicate how the hybrid system works and in which it is exactly it acts.

Attention! The flashing icon on the dashboard of the hybrid machine, as a rule, means any problem with the car. In this case, you should contact the technical center to the dealer.

BMW x1 - Compact five-seater crossover ( SUV.) BMW. In the struggle for leading positions in the market, the Germans resorted to the creation of a new subspecies of a car, designed for those who are more like asphalt, than off-road. The BMW X1 parents are not engineers and non-designers, even though their participation in the process of creating this car is no doubt, and the marketologists of the concern. They were the initiators of the appearance in model row The concern of the smallest crossover designed for young and energetic people. New BMW X1 costs quite expensive, but on secondary market You can find a lot of offers for the sale of used x1 at a sufficiently delicious price - from 11000 cu, but for how much such purchase will be justified now and try to figure it out.

A bit of history:

For the first time, the BMW X1 was spoken after the presentation of the concept of the model in 2008 at the Paris Motor Show. The serial version of the car was presented as part of the international auto show in Frankfurt in early 2009. And in the autumn of the same year at the factory BMW. In Leipzig from the conveyor, the first serial instance was descended. A little later, the production of X1 was established in China, Brazil, India and Russia in the Kaliningrad Mattering Plant. This model became first compact crossover in the premium class and only two years later, the competitors presented such models as Range Rover. Evoque. When developing a novelty, the planform of the station wagon of the 3rd series (E90) was taken. The only difference from the Community became the chassis - x1 other traction in the rear multi-dimensional suspension and swivel fists suspension MacPherson applied in front.

In the summer of 2012, the model survived a small restyling, during which the power units were changed, the transmission was improved, new equipment appeared. Also, the changes affected the design of the exterior and interior. Updated version of the BMW X1 2013 crossover model year Presented at the auto show in New York. In 2013, a 306 strong version of the XDrive35i with a gasoline turbo engine volume of three liters, designed specifically for the American market appeared on sale. In total, 730,000 cars were implemented during the production of the first generation X1.

The second generation of BMW X1 (F48 factory index) was presented in early 2015. Unlike the predecessor, the novelty was built on the basis of the UKL1 front-wheel drive platform, which was previously used on models as III, Gran Tourer and 2-Series Active. The developers tried well on the improvement of this car - the dimensions have changed, the interior and exterior design has improved. In addition to external and technical changes, the new BMW X1 boasts good equipping. In the basic configuration, the front seats will be installed with the possibility of adjusting 8 positions, automatic climate control, trunk door electric drive, rain sensors, multimedia system with 6.5 inch screen and acoustics with 7 speakers, engine start function using a button and 18-inch discs with secure tires. Especially for the Chinese market was developed extended to 4.56 meters version of the crossover (X1 L).

Weak places and disadvantages of the first generation BMW X1 (E84) with mileage

Unlike many of their competitors, the Bavarians are not so much saved on the paintwork, so most of the copies at the age of 4-6 have a good commodity view. Plus, many owners of this model are scrupulously relate to the exterior of the car and, if something needs to be cut, they do it only in proven workshops. Also satisfactory can be called the corrosion resistance of the body, as even in places of SCPs, the LCP rust does not appear very long. Despite this, to say that the BMW X1 has a trouble-free body - it is impossible, since there are still certain shortcomings. In the rear doors, garbage and moisture is collected over time and if this does not keep track of the high probability of corrosion in them. Also worth follow the cleanliness of the moside windshieldIf the estates are born, water will flush in a niche of a vacuum amplifier.

Also on the car, behind which they did not follow, the corrosion foci can be found at the points of fastening of wheeled arches and bumper, in the area fuel tank, in places fastening the levers of the rear suspension, as well as on the bottom, around the places of fastening the subframe. When choosing a used BMW x1, be sure to check the state of the subframe. The fact is that this item often suffers from off-road ambitions and the driver's carelessness. Damage to the subframe and its fasteners, as a rule, affects the car manageability. Also worth checking the condition of the windshield. The fact is that the original glass (Pilkington) is too easy to scratch and covered by cracks - often to 100,000 km glass already needs to be replaced.

Often there are instances with poorly absorbed windshield, as a rule, cars kaliningrad assembly (Technological marriage). This trouble is fraught with moisture in the salon. The plywood often ends with the installation of the new glass. The front optics are leaky, which is why in crude weather fading. Most often, an industrial hairdryer is used to eliminate moisture, but it is necessary to dry the headlight with it carefully, since there is a risk of damaging the optics - covered with a shallow mesh of cracks. From other disadvantages, it is possible to note the poor resistance of chrome-plated elements to the effects of the chemicals that the roads are generously sprinkled in winter and the unreliability of plastic elements of the body decor (moldings, washbasters, bumper diaphusers) - with time the mount is rocked. It is worth noting that the replacement of these elements is not a penny. Be sure to take into account this when you buy a used car and if there are problems, ask the corresponding discount.

Power units

For BMW X1 of the first generation Beii available gasoline motors The volume of 2.0 liters atmospheric N46 (143 and 150 hp) and the turbo engine N20 with a capacity of 180 hp, the 3-liter N52B30 and N55B30 aggregates and N55B30 with a capacity of 258 and 306 hp, respectively, were included in the ruler. However, to find a "live" copy of X1 with a 3-liter engine, the task is not the lungs, since such versions of the car on the secondary market are not so much. Also in the ruler there is a diesel engine N47 with a volume of 2.0 liters of varying degrees of forsing (from 116 to 218 hp).

N46.

Among petrol aggregates The most spread was atmospheric N46. This unit has good overclocking dynamics with moderate fuel consumption, but it does not boast high levels reliability. From the disadvantages of the engine, it is possible to mark the complex design of the underfloor intake, high operating temperature, adjustable oil pump. All this in the amount not only reduces the reliability of the engine, but also increases the cost of repairing the "four" to disproportionate to its performance.

From explicit weak places of the unit, you can allocate:

Increased oil consumption on the car with a mileage of more than 50,000 km (it takes a replacement of caps, and a little later and the oil-chained rings). The main reason is the use of non-original oil. For the same reason, over time, problems with Valvetronic, Vanos, oil pump and the CVKG appear. Also early (by 50-70 thousand km) may need to replace the gasket valve cover And the vacuum pump (they begin to flow, the smell of burned oil appears). The timing chain and its tensioner often require replacement after 100-120 thousand km traveled. Symptoms - Diesellation, Dragonflies, in the launched stages of the disease manifested by a large number of errors in the ECU block.

Not famous for reliability and electronic oil level sensor. It is worth noting that when it fails, the motor goes easily and quickly. I also want to allocate the absence oil affectionthat increases the chances of getting to expensive repairs. The Vanos gas distribution phase change system in our operating conditions is rather rapidly contaminated, due to the engine, elevated vibrations appear on the engine. Cleaning this trouble is cleaned. The main enemy of this motor is low-quality oil and fuel, if you pour into the engine abba that, then by 15,000 km you can get to the cheapest replacement of the piston group.

N20.

Not much reliable was the more modern turbocharged Motor N20. As in the atmospheric, the main problems of this motor are caused by the failures in the work of the lubricant system, which lead to irreversible consequences (turns into the liners, appear jacies, breaks the connectors, etc.). A chain drive is applied in the engine not only in the timing, but also the oil pump (separately). Both drives are not entirely reliable, as a rule, to 100,000 km the chain is stretched and can jump, break or fly. In any case, this nuisance ends with an inadequate repair or engine replacement. Therefore, when the appearance of extraneous noises, it is not worth tightening with a visit to the service. Even the widespread sores include a small resource of the cooling system.

On the BMW x1 released before 2014, it is possible to meet the leaks of the oil glass (oil filter housing) - does not withstand the pressure of the inner partition (made of plastic). Later, the problem was eliminated (alloyous details began to install). When using poor-quality fuel to 100,000 km, the mileage will need to clean the fuel injectors, throttle valve and idling valve. The need for this procedure will have an unstable idling, deterioration of dynamics and elevated vibrations.

N52.

The most powerful engines were in many ways more successful than weak aggregates, but find a good copy with such a motor is not so simple. From explicit deficiencies here you can mark increased flow oil caused by thin masonry rings, oil slimming caps and ventilation valve Carter gases (KVKG). If you ignore the furnace will soon be clogged with catalysts. With untimely and poor-quality services, the nerves of the Valvetronic and Vanos system will be taken from time to time. If you pour low-quality gasoline to 70-100 thousand km. Get ready for the replacement of fuel injectors. Motor N52 is inclined to overheating, therefore, in order to avoid serious consequences, it is necessary to periodically check the condition of the cooling system and do not forget to clean the radiator.

Diesel

The diesel engine in the debut of sales caused delight in many owners an incredible burden and economy, but after a couple of years of operation, this euphoria was replaced by repairing. The main source of the headache of the owners of the car with such a motor is chains, which in N47 three - timber, oil pump and TNVD. In addition to the fact that they have a small resource about 100,000 km run. It is worth noting that when changing the chains it is necessary to dismantle the engine (installed side of the flywheel), and these are additional costs. After the appearance of a large number of complaints, the manufacturer tried to change the situation for the better - conducted a review company, began to establish a more reliable upgraded chain on new specimens and applied under warranty, but it was not possible to completely eliminate the problem. It is worth noting that not all cars are manifested in the warranty period, so that the chances of purchasing a problem is large enough.

Another one weak place BMW x1 with such an aggregate are intake manifold dampers, which may unexpectedly be in the cylinders (they are smashed and fly from the axes). This trouble is fraught with damage to the head of the cylinder block (combustion chambers), turbocharger, and sometimes pistons. The crankshaft damper pulley serves about 100 thousand km, sometimes more, then requires replacement. For this detail it is periodically observed, otherwise one day hear the sounds of the belt break and falling the pulley to protect the engine. You can also note the piezo-forming, which over time begin to "pour" strongly. If the nozzles do not change the nozzle for a long time, will lead to the hydraulic man or the piston direct. Resource nozzles 140-160 thousand km. It does not differ in durability and turbocharger, its resource rarely exceeds 150-200 thousand km. Against the background of these difficulties of illness, like current heat exchangers, failures in the work of the EGR and a small resource of the sump filter are departed into the background. The resource of the engine with proper maintenance and timely elimination of ailments may exceed 250-300 thousand km.

Transmission

For BMW X1, two types of gearboxes - mechanics and automatic were offered. The mechanical transmission is reliable and extremely rarely documented by its owners. The only drawback, peculiar to the car with mechanics, is a rapid wear of gears and electric motors in dispensing boxes. The manual transaction is considered maintenance free, but still the replacement of oil in it is recommended to carry out at least 80-100 thousand km of mileage. The automatic transmission is represented by two versions of ZF and GM. The transmission of the GM series is very reliable and there is practically no problem, the main thing is to avoid sharp starts on traffic lights and to replace transmission fluid. Otherwise, get ready for the non-repaid repair of the hydrotransformer and the control unit assembly with solenoids. Also there is a risk to get to the repair of the checkpoint during the cold season, as in a heavy frost encounters the gear selection rod.

But the automatic called ZF is well known for the domestic services to their sores. Most often, breakdowns are associated with failures in the work of "Mechatronics", which in rare cases "lives" to 15,000,000 km. Benefit, with timely handling, it is possible to avoid costly replacement and limited to the cleaning or replacement of the separator plate and loaded solenoids. On the run 150-200 thousand km, it is necessary to change the lining of the GDT blocking, all bushings and oil pumps.

Four-wheel drive

BMW X1 is available in two versions: with the HDRIVE all-wheel drive transmission and with the drive only on the rear axis SDRIVE. As in the case of automatic transmission, all-wheel drive transmission needs timely and mainly quality service. And those who think that the change of lubricant is carried out once every 100-150 thousand km - their car is a risk group. Most. vulnerable place is the front gearbox. Oil sublifts appear on it, provoking the decrease in the oil level. Due to the low-loading gear, even a small deviation of the oil level from the norm will lead to the fact that its bearings will start rapidly wear out. The first signal of problems with bearings will be howl (hum) when dumping gas. If the rumble appeared, get ready for a trip to the node replacement service. However, howling when dumping gas can be caused by problems in the transfer box.

May be nerves and rear gearbox on versions of 28iX and 25DX. To avoid problems, it is necessary to regularly monitor its supports, since the breakdown of at least one of the silent attachment blocks almost always ends with the replacement of drive shafts assembly. When a crunch appears in the rear shurtures, you should not panic, in most cases it is enough to fill in the hinge lubricant.

Reliability of suspension, steering and brakes BMW x1 with mileage

As in other models of the Bavarian Concern, the running X1 has a gambling sporting character and provides good maneuverability. The front suspension is made on a double hinge with the familiar layering of levers, springs and shock absorbers. But the rear is a five-dimensional HA5 integral system. It is worth noting that the rear-wheel drive versions of the car the front lower levers are made of aluminum. As for the reliability of the suspension, it is greater extent depends on the temperature and manner of driving the driver. With an active movement on broken roads, and even with full loading should not count on a large front springs resource (break), ball supports, silent blocks of the upper levers and stabilizer racks.

With moderate loads, the service life of the original suspension consumables is acceptable. For less than 100,000 km, only the front ball supports and the hydrophopper of the lower front lever (on rear-wheel drive versions) - serve about 60-80 thousand km. The remaining suspension elements are kept 100-150 thousand km. The feature of the suspension was put on the adhesive of the stabilizer bushings, because of this, during their replacement, they will have to either be tricks on the manufacturer's tricks and will be discarded to the whole torsion, or to master the process of "collective farm" when installing analogs. Rear suspension With careful operation, it is capable of listening to 140-160 thousand km, the main thing is not to forget to monitor the state of the silent blocks of the subframe on powerful versions.

Steering

In the steering system, a circuit mechanism with a hydraulic agent and an optional servotron module is applied. It is difficult to call this node difficult, since on many copies of the problem with him started early (up to 50,000 km). The main problem is the tech rails. The culprits of this ailment are weak seals and corrosion on the rod. It is also fairly early can appear rust on the steering shaft (after 20-30 thousand km). Dealers, as a rule, do not restore the rail, and offer to establish a new one for 1500 cu. However, it is not worth a despair, since today there are enough services that can accumulate the problem much cheaper (from 250 cu). Another slow motion bomb is servotronics. Over time, due to the moisture hitting it, corrosion appears on contacts, which leads to failures in the operation of the steering position sensor. Symptoms - disappears in the steering wheel, and the Brangle icon lights up on the tidy.

Torkemose

BMW X1 brakes are reliable, the only problem with which the owners are faced by the ABS block failure with small runs. In order to extend the life of the block, it is necessary to periodically clean the niche in which it is installed. The resource of the brake system consumables largely depends on the driving manner - on average, the brake pads go 30-40 thousand km, drives withstand 2-3 shoe replacements.

Salon

Despite the fact that the BMW X1 refers to the premium class, the quality of finishing materials and the assembly of the car's salon leaves much to be desired. With the arrival of cold plastic elements of the cabin begin to stick together. There are more complex cases when outside sounds come from the steering column, door locks, windows motor, door limiters, rear wiper and so on. Also, the cause of extraneous sounds can be a noisebroisorization from the ceiling. But the electrician turned out to be quite reliable. An exception can be a car whose owners abused tyunigom or resorted to the services of "Kulibins", in this case the number of surprises can become impressive.

Outcome:

- Universal fast car Designed for an active citizen. As I spoke at the beginning of this article, the creators of this model were marketers who were not interested in creating the most reliable car. Therefore, buying BMW X1 You must be prepared for serious costs in the process of service and repair, since many cars in the warranty require considerable investments on the technical.

If you are the owner of this car model, please describe the problems that you have to face during the operation of the car. Perhaps it is your feedback that will help readers of our site when choosing a car.

Respect, editors Car auto

In technical plan, the BMW X1 is based on solutions tested on BMW 3 and X3. It is curious to compare the dimensions of these models. Troika wagon is longer (4525 mm against 4477 mm), but not able to compete with the BMW X3 of the second generation (4650 mm). And how much is the difference in the wheelbase? Troika and X1 have between axes of 2760 mm, and BMW X3 - 2810 mm. It is worth noting that X1 does not apply to the number of small cars - its sizes are comparable to classical compact crossovers.

What other differences x1 from the 3rd series BMW? In the crossover, the driver sits higher, thanks to which there is a better review. In X1 it is easier to take place behind the wheel, and the additional expanse above the head complements the pleasant feelings from the trip.

A little worse with the number of places behind. High passengers will complain about limited space in the field area. A person who gets a place in the center will have to fight a large tunnel of the cardan shaft. If you decide on the BMW x1, remember - the car is not focused on the maximum use of dimensions (the engine is located longitudinally).

Crossover shorter "Troika" with the same wheelbase. However, in terms of freight opportunities x1 is not so bad. Yes, the trunk is small (420 liters), but convenient to use. The floor with a double bottom forms a practically smooth surface with a folded sofa.

A distinctive feature of BMW crossovers - chassis configured to dynamic driving. Bavarians even changed the name of the SUV segment on SAV - instead of "Utility" used the term "activity". However, a coupled with increased clearance can only mean one thing - hard suspension and minimum comfort.

The manufacturer assured that he took into account the complaints of the owners of X3 and X5 on excessive stiffness of the suspension, but in the case of x1, it is better not to count on comfort. Much depends on the configuration. Run Flat tires, low-profile tires and optional sports suspension significantly reduce the smoothness of the stroke. It is much more preferable wheels with a higher profile, although it will have to go a little legendary flawless handling.

Engines

It is not necessary to reflect on the choice of engine for a long time. Among the gasoline used inline 4 and 6-cylinder units. Those who wish to buy x1 with a 3-liter motor will have to disappoint. These versions are a real rarity.

Approximately half of the proposals make up cars with a 2-liter gasoline engine (including with turbocharged and direct injection) offering a good compromise between the dynamics and consumption of fuel.

Slightly fewer ads with diesel versions. All are equipped with a modern 4-cylinder Turbodiesel N47, equipped with the direct injection of Common Rail, one or two turbines (23D and 25D). All variants of a 2-liter diesel engine from 116 to 218 hp differ only hinged equipment and electronics.

Unfortunately, diesel engines can deliver great trouble. Some engines demanded timing repair by passing only 60-90 thousand km. In no case cannot ignore the first symptoms of the GDM chain (noise when resetting turns and on idling). Separate mechanics even recommend the preventive replacement of the timing kit (chains, gears, tensioner) after 100-150 thousand km. Although it is expensive (from 40,000 rubles with work and spare parts), but will allow to avoid more significant expenses in the future due to damage to the distributional shafts or the destruction of asterisks. High price The replacement is due to the location of the chain at the junction of the engine and the box that you have to shoot.

No durability and turbocharger. His resource is a little more than 150-200 thousand km. The new turbine will cost a minimum of 40-60 thousand rubles. Approximately the same same and bosch piezoelectric nozzles and 30,000 rubles per piece. Fuel nozzles with restorative repair are not subject to.

Gasoline engines are much more reliable, especially the 3-liter N52 (25i and 28i - until 2011). Among the features, it is worth noting the presence of a ValveTronic valve lifting height system in Motors of the N46 (18I) series and a two-channel turbine in N55 (35i).

Owners of gasoline X1 over time (approximately after 150,000 km) will have to replace the Valvetronic system (starting to float). The cost of the new node is from 10,000 rubles.

In 2011, X 1 modifications with a 2-liter gasoline engine of the N20 series, equipped with direct fuel injection, Vanos and Valvetronic system, appeared. New aggregate Received contradictory opinions regarding reliability. There are problems with the lubricant system, resulting in turning inserts. There is a lack of problems for those owners who have not saved on the quality and timing to replace the oil. In addition, at large runs, the failure of fuel injectors is inevitable. The cost of the new is about 3,000 rubles, and they are recommended to change them with a complete set. The first symptoms are uneven operation of the engine. At the end, it is worth noting another disadvantage of the N20 oil pump drive chain.

Transmission and chassis

While X3 was offered exclusively with a full XDrive drive, BMW X1 could be rear-wheel drive. Such machines are called sdrive.

The presence of this or that drive was determined by the engine. The most powerful gasoline and diesel versions (23D and 25D) were only all-wheel drive. The basic 18i and 16d have always been with the leading rear axle. In other options power aggregate The buyer itself chose the type of transmission.

With the advent of the BMW X1, the XDRive drive was updated. ATC 350 came to replace the ATC 350 transfer box. In its depths you will find a triple gear that leads a parallel shaft that connects the distribution with the differential on the front axle. The classic differential was completely replaced with a multi-disc clutch controlled by the electric motor, which also includes the control unit.

Under normal conditions, the car is driven by rear axle. Front wheels are connected if necessary. And not only when the rear axle loses the clutch with the road, but also in turns. In difficult weather conditions, this solution works fine.

With a version of XDRIVE, a number of other features are connected. For example, a hydraulic amplifier with a gear ratio of 18.5: 1 is used here. And in SDrive installed an electromechanical amplifier with a sharper steering wheel 16.1: 1.

In both cases, in front of the two lower levers on the wheel - transverse and oblique. In the SDRIVE version, the rear lever is transverse, and the front braid with a hydraulic rubber support (only since May 2011, before this is the usual rubber silent block). In the XDRIVE front lever - transverse, and the rear - oblique with hydraulic silent block (the entire production period). Hydraulic rubber support comes separately.

In XDrive, the lever design provides a replacement of a ball support, and in SDRIVE, the original levers go only assembly.

It is better to use Lemforder products as substitutes, which is a spare parts supplier for BMW. The once popular meyle is no longer as good as before.

The service life of the chassis largely depends on the radius of the wheels and the height of the tire profile. The geometry of the wheels must be adapted to dimensions in order to avoid rapid wear of the tires.

It is worth mentioning another technical feature associated with X1. It is about connecting the hubs with the front axles. It uses not a classic slotted compound, but a cylindrical with a gear wheel. The classic aforementioned solution is preserved on the rear axle.

The suspension has an average service life, and on the market is full of substitutes at reasonable prices. Often the owners have to face with the appearance of knocks in the steering rake.

As for the "automat", then the main thing is not to forget to change the oil every 60,000 km. The same must be done with liquid in the All-wheel drive transmission XDrive.

Premium ...

All BMW models belong to the premium segment. Many X1 have rich equipment and look beautiful, although among them there are instances with a manual gearbox, simple air conditioning and steel wheels. However, beautiful appearance and initial costs will not relate to outsided sounds arising from overcoming irregularities or driving on the pavement.

Over time, plastic panels may be bandaged.

Typical problems and malfunctions

Sometimes the electrician leads. For example, due to a faulty relay, a trunk lock opens. And because of the refused antennas ceases to work the central castle. May fail and multimedia. Often, this is to blame, the so-called CSC Group (Car Communication Computer).

Sometimes the owners complain about the rapid wear of the brakes and the fall in their efficiency in crude weather.

Conclusion

BMW X 1 is worth your attention, but you must be prepared for serious costs in the process of service and repair. Do not forget that the developers X1 were not interested in creating the most practical car.
