What are the 2018 BMW X1 reliability issues?

I’m considering buying a used 2018 BMW X1 but I keep hearing that they’re not the most reliable BMWs. What issues does this model year have?

Looking at the reliability of a vehicle before purchasing is a good idea to avoid problems down the road. The 2018
BMW X1
reliability issues revolve around steering, structure, and exterior lighting. There are also some issues with visibility, the engine, roof and pillars, and tie rod assembly.
The
NHTSA
released four recalls for the 2018 BMW X1 since its release. BMW X1 owners have also reported several other trouble spots, including:
  • Rotors
  • Squeaking
  • In-dash navigation system (GPS)
  • Wind noise
  • Air or water leaks
However, despite having several recalls, the BMW X1 still earns a reliability score of 4.5 from U.S. News, suggesting that owning an X1 might not be as big of an issue as it appears.
Whether reliability ratings on the BMW X1 are good or not, you’ll want to arm yourself with a solid insurance policy to protect it. When you shop for car insurance with
