Pros
Impressive handling for an SUV
Small size yet plenty of passenger & cargo space
Reasonably priced for a BMW
Willing turbocharged engine
Cons
Very stiff ride
Apple CarPlay
Uncomfortable front seats
Doesn’t support Android Auto
Interior Comfort
The BMW X1 for 2020 is a 2-row/5-passenger SUV with plenty of room for people and cargo. Rear-seat passengers have excellent legroom unless the front passengers are so tall they have the front seats in their rearmost position. If this is the case, we recommend spending the additional $300 for the sliding rear-seat option that also reclines. Up front, power seats are standard.
This baby BMW’s dash is sleek and angular. Materials have a premium look and feel, such as the soft-touch dash and wood accents. The standard SensaTec fake-leather seating feels down-market, though. The seat bottoms have a rather hard design that makes it difficult to get comfortable on long trips, especially noticeable around the driver’s thigh and lower back. A new 8.8-inch infotainment display graces the upper dash.
Around back, a similar bumper is augmented by tinted taillight lenses and wider tailpipe openings. The M Sport Package gets an aggressive new look, and new paint and wheel options are offered. The overall effect makes the X1 appear wider and meaner, without making the vehicle unrecognizable to BMW purists.
Favorite Features
POWER TAILGATE
While many luxury brands bundle features like a power liftgate into expensive option packages, the 2020 BMW X1 makes it standard. However, if you want to buy a pricey upgrade, the Comfort Access option in the Convenience package triggers the tailgate to open with a simple swipe of the foot.
APPLE CARPLAY
Smartphone connectivity is a must in cars today, so while we’re still holding out hope BMW will add Android Auto to the mix, for now the standard Apple CarPlay will have to do.`
Standard Features
A base 2020 BMW X1 sDrive28i comes with front-wheel drive, while the xDrive28i includes all-wheel drive. Standard equipment includes 8-way-power front seats, automatic climate control, power tailgate, rain-sensing windshield wipers, cruise control, park distance control, rearview monitor, push-button ignition, and 18-inch wheels with run-flat tires.
The standard infotainment system includes an 8.8-inch display screen, 7-speaker AM/FM/HD Radio/CD player with USB input and Bluetooth audio streaming/phone connectivity, navigation and Apple CarPlay. The X1 also includes the BMW Assist eCall emergency-request system with an SOS button, forward-collision warning with low-speed emergency braking, lane-departure warning, high-beam assist, complimentary scheduled maintenance for four years/50,000 miles, and roadside assistance for four years/unlimited miles.
Factory Options
As with most BMWs, there are plenty of ways to upgrade the X1, and they can make the vehicle’s base price climb quickly. Even most of the X1’s exterior paint colors are extra money, unless you go with non-metallic black or white. Other notable extras are bundled into packages and include a panoramic moonroof, head-up display, motion-activated liftgate, power-lumbar support, leather interior, heated front seats, and 12-speaker Harman Kardon audio system.
Stand-alone options include heated seats and steering wheel, wireless charging pad, LED headlights and adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go and driving assistant. The M Sport package adds a more aggressive suspension, wheel-and-tire package and automatic transmission plus sport seats, aerodynamic kit and Shadow roof rails and exterior trim.
Engine & Transmission
The sole powerplant for the 2020 BMW X1 is a 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder that makes 228 horsepower. BMW promises the X1 can hit the 0-60-mph benchmark in 6.3 seconds. A Sport mode livens throttle response and stiffens steering feel, while Comfort and Eco modes tone down settings.
The X1 offers the option of front-wheel or all-wheel drive (FWD, AWD) and uses an 8-speed Aisin automatic transmission. A start/stop system shuts off the engine at idle to save fuel. If you find the restarts jarring, it can be defeated. Premium gasoline is recommended.
2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4
228 horsepower @ 5,000 rpm
258 lb-ft of torque @ 1,250 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 24/33 mpg (FWD), 23/31 mpg (AWD)

When replacing rear brakes do I tighten piston? Or do I leave it as is?

[@AxtuoAx]

The way you see me doing it, it the way it is. As far as I remember I don't have to do anything else after I install the caliper, just step on the brake pedal to get it adjust it, and that's it

[@carsurvivalist]

Are you familiar if the rear caliper pistons are supposed to have fluid under piston dust boots? Changed right side as described in video and saw dust boot bulde after piston compression. As I have done 1,000 times to released edge of boot to release air pressure so boot sits normally, but this time found fluid. Checked left side before compression directly off knuckle and also found fluid behind dust boot. What is your experience?

[@AxtuoAx]

My experience is what you saw in the video. Thanks for watching 👀🙂🙏.

[@edgarorellana2298]

I have a new 21 BMW just hit 30k miles. I’m changing the brakes. Should I change the rotors too? I was reading you change the rotors at 70K

[@AxtuoAx]

I'd recommend change the rotors too, cuz the rotors get warp and this and that. Just for your comfort and peace of mind but if you r on a budget then just pads.

[@ZoneCrasher]

The rotors look fine. What a waste throwing them away. And, you never checked break fluid level?

[@AxtuoAx]

All the time, cuz

[@hogasreluflorentin2105]

@@AxtuoAx after you put it back the new pads, do you make any adjustments in the electrical motor rear brakes ?

[@AxtuoAx]

After you install the new pads....just put everything back then step on the brake pedal until gets hard and that's it.. Thanks for asking, sir!!!!!.
