X1 any owners on here?

[northandy]

So any x1 owners kicking around here?. Looking for thoughts, experience of mpg etc.

Currently have a 120d coupe, i do around 35k a year, so mpg is important. Looking to change to either an x1 or a new f20 1 series, my real concern is that the x1 will return closer to 40mpg (especially in x drive guise)

Hi north andy,

It is my experience that a 4 wd x1 will not acheive 40 mpg unless on a really steady constant run. < 35 is more like it. On the other hand an f20 will regularly return 47 in 118/120d guise.

We already have an f20 118d and its very good, in the 2weeks we have had it has averaged 51mpg. I can only find info on x1 mpg matching what you say, which kills the idea for me, i could go 2wd but that kinda defets the object.

Drove a f30 yesterday and although nice was a bit out of my budget.
