BMW X1 is a subcompact luxury crossover that made its debut in 2009. The E84 is the first generation and was originally revealed as the BMW Concept X1 at the Paris Motor Show in 2008. The company identified the increased need for a smaller and more efficient model in its SUV line-up as petrol prices so began development for this model in 2006. It is based on the same platform as the E90 3 Series and features the same 2,760 mm wheelbase. This model is the first X Series to be available in two-wheel drive and featured restyled exterior and interior design elements in 2012. The F48 X1 is the second generation and is 4,500 mm long, 1,845 mm wide and offered options of turbocharged 3-cylinder and 4-cylinder petrol and diesel engine. The U11 XA is the third generation and provided an option of a plug-in hybrid variant and takes 6.4 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph.

The BMW X1, particularly between 2012 and 2016, has faced multiple issues. Notably, models from 2014 to 2018 have exhibited cracking in the passenger engine mount, a problem that can be expensive to repair, typically ranging between $1,500 to $2,000. This defect often becomes evident shortly after the warranty expires. The X1 has also encountered coolant leakage issues, especially in the 2014 and 2016 models, likely due to sealing faults or design flaws. Effective maintenance, including regular coolant replenishments and seal repairs, is essential. The coolant system in the X1 demands a specific mixture, disallowing the sole use of antifreeze or water. The recommended coolant flush for the X1 is every 30,000 miles or every two years, with interim checks at 15,000-mile intervals. Identifiable symptoms indicating coolant issues include leaks, overheating signals, steam emissions, sediment in the coolant, and other related indicators. Employing the right coolant type, as outlined in the owner's manual, is crucial. Leak diagnostics, often signaled by low coolant levels, engine smells, or visible coolant spillage, is the primary step to address coolant leakages, with root causes potentially being damaged hoses, faulty radiators, malfunctioning water pumps, or defective gaskets. Another widespread concern, including in the 2013 model, is the presence of fog on the windshield, impairing driver visibility. Potential causes range from the release of volatile compounds from interior car plastics to issues related to the air conditioning system. Remedies such as glass cleaners or rubbing alcohol yield varied results. Foggy rear windows in some models may arise from new interior materials or ineffective dehumidification. However, post-2017 models have displayed improvements, reflecting BMW's dedication to resolving these challenges.
