x1 KMs

[fadielm]

Good day fellow fanatics....
Looking to add to our BMW collection. Mrs interested in a x1 - seen a few 2011 and 2012s; both petrol and diesel; in our price range.... but mileage is 170 000kms plus... some have had timing chain and rails replaced by dealers...
Wife does minimal kms per day; 20-30kms per day - 5 days a week.
Thanks...don't want to buy myself into a problem.

Hi, I am not sure where The question is , what would you like to know?

What is your budget ?

If you can find one that has been maintained well and has a service history then your chances are better.
At that mileage I would also expect a diesel to be better as it will still run for many more KMs if it was maintained.

Good luck with the search! :thumbs:

Guess; it is about the risk of purchasing a "high mileage" x1 - petrol or diesel.

~R140k - R160k

Thanks Coldfusion... much appreciated.

Yeah, thoughts are also on diesel even though the Mrs does short distances.

If you are looking to buy into a high miler (relatively speaking) buy 6 cylinders instead of the 4 cylinder coffee grinders BMW produces.
They are BAD.

My suggestion is to buy the 2012 Lci 2.0d. Its the 135kw twinpower motor with the 8spd gearbox. Perfect Combination. The diesel ,in my opinion, are more reliable if maintained.

Not sure what your budget is, but this non msport is nicely priced.
