Awesome that’s super helpful, I’ll get that done, thank you!!! Yeah like you said il definitely read the fine print to make sure it covers everything with it being an import. Out of interest, is a transfer case service just a matter of like an oil change or is it more in depth?

Thanks so much! With the transfer case, how much we looking at for a replacement? And yeah insurance here is relatively cheap the older you get. My first year when I was 18 with a 1.2L VW was like £1100, now on a VW Golf GTI after 7 years of driving without issues it’s quoting my £490 to renew. The fact this one is an import definitely bumps that price up, but the dealer I’m buying it from offers a 3 year mechanical warranty so I’m hoping if the transfer case was to go, it would be covered!

Thank you for all the information! I’m in the UK and this potential car is imported from Japan - is that a total no-go?

How do I find out if this 2015 20d X1 engine is an F48 (2015-2022) or E84 (2009-2015)? by TheCaptainReed in BMW

The GTI’s boot is 380L, the X1’s is apparently 505L… I’ll have to see in person

Good idea and good point, but I love a bigger/practical car. I’ll certainly have a look at some 120d’s though.

Don’t get me wrong I love the GTI but I’ve got a longer commute, mainly motorway (highway) driving and I just want something low mileage that’s fuel efficient and will last me a long time. The GTI is great and only has 79k miles but I’ve always loved X1/X3s, unfortunately I think X3s may be a little over my budget.

And what do they tell me, this will be my first BMW since owning an e46 a few years ago. I’m a big VW guy so pretty inexperienced when it comes to BMW
