Is X1 a good car? Heard it’s 3 cylinders. 

the buyers only care about the white/blue badge.

2 cylinders also no problem

At current COE price and limited quota quantity,  there is no need to run promo, the challenge is to find enough COE to fulfill  the order.

hey all!

well, i cannot answer this question from a engineering POV since im not an engineer, but so far my 3 cycinder 216i GT has never gave me any problems. In fact, i did not really hear any idle vibration issues from my X1/216 frens owners. I believe BMW's 3-cylinder B38 engine has won numerous international awards, for being frugal yet quick off the mark

 https://www.autoevolution.com/news/bmws-3-cylinder-b38-engine-wins-wards-10-best-engines-award-90186.html

regarding the age-old question of whether its powerful enough, hmm how much power is enough? If I drive a Ferrari, for sure i will think 7series not enough. If i drive a 7series, of cuz i will think C-class not powerful enough. you know where this is going. 🙂

my previous cars are Hyundai 2.0 tucson, Nissan qashqai 1.2T, and current BMW 216i GT. and my butt feel tells me that the X1's 138hp/220hm Torque, 9.2s century sprint, performs way better than all my previous rides. Not to mention BMW's legendary handling and interior.

I figured if all sporeans are concerned with bhp/torque/century sprint, then our roads will be full of Kia Stingers and Skodas haha..

oh! and "small" models like the 216 and X1 makes up bulk of BMW's sales in SG. So while i cannot confirm, but i believe most Sporeans are satisfied with the matured 3-cyclinder tech 🙂

It's enough power for SG roads, and it's got that badge for association! People often say the 1st half of the sentence but the real reason is the 2nd half

Whether it is the first half or 2nd, it is fact and reality in Singapore (yes, sadly). Like it or not, it is the overall package perception in Singapore😉. It retains decent resale value bcos of this.

@t0y0ta indeed…. Lot of my friend still unable to comprehend my action…. Gave up explaining…. As long as I happy….. don’t need to care how ppl rhink 

[hsolo89]

@oleoleole Agree. my 218GC might be 3-cyc, but performs better than my A200 engine imo. some say the situation may get worse with years, but so far its not an issue with me too

[oleoleole]

End up when my wife gave the green light to change to X1, no more units left. Sad. 

Nvm, wait for Jun (PML's financial year end promo!)

@oleoleole could I check how long have u owned the 216iGT? I am considering a 218i GT but is concerned about after sales service from PML & BMWs "reliability" issues. I am currently driving a Merc for almost 5yrs now & thankfully no major issues. Parts are also affordable & easy to get.

TIA

@hsolo89 how long have u been driving the 218 and also the A200? Yours was the W176?

 

[hsolo89]

@Jem_tan W177. Owned it for a year before switching. Less than a year for my 218GC. Like i say, no issues so far but then again, its too early to tell .
