Choose BMW X1 E84 with mileage: transmission surprises and unsuccessful "Atmospheric. Where they collect BMW x1 German bu car or new domestic

Reninzion to the brakes in x1 is a minimum. Perhaps, only the ABS unit can "get up" when clogging a niche in which it is installed, and start climbing, but no more serious problems are foreseen. Not very cheap shoe sensors - not a problem, just change the pads in advance. Brake discs are not too expensive, and the pads are a penny. The resource of the discs is usually two or three replacements of the pads, and the pads go 20-30 thousand kilometers - a completely reasonable resource for modern standards, although high-quality unoriginal discs can pass and slightly more, especially if you choose "soft" pads. The brake system is very sensitive to the quality of the brake fluid, it is recommended not to forget about the replacement intervals.

The suspension is here too without surprises. The warmest elements with active movement are the ball supports in front and hydrophopper of the lower front lever: their resource is about 40-80 thousand kilometers for original parts. Moreover, the hydraulic man is often incorrectly diagnosed even in a specialized service, and steering vibrations refer to the problems of the tire or braking system.

Engines and power

2.0 l, 116-245 liters. from.

From small "surprises" - the absence of a cross-stability stabilizer inserts is expected only to assemble. In practice, the owners, of course, put rubber bands from E91.

The nuance is only that the "native" gums are glued, so when replacing new, it is also recommended to glue the stabilizer to save the resource. The location zone is strongly polluted, and if this is not done, the resource of the parts will be to the offensive small - about 10-20 thousand kilometers.

Behind everything is quite reliably, the main thing is not to forget to follow the state of the subframe silent blocks on powerful versions. Otherwise, the external hinges of the carrier lever and diagonal "links" with two silent blocks are followed. With them you can count on 70-100 thousand resource on good roads - the remaining elements are strongly dependent on the style of driving and load.

And, by the way, about tires: like on many other Bavarian machines there is no room for a date, since x1 is regularly equipped with RUNFLAT tires. But here their profile is higher than on passenger cars - makes a tire noticeably more rigid.


The cost of the front / rear brake pads

Price for the original:

5 571/3 806 rubles

Many note that during the transition to the "ordinary" rubber, the car becomes much more comfortable, and at the same time less demanding to the state of the suspension. With standard rubber x1 pleases not only good handling, but also increased requirements for the state of shock absorbers and supports suspension, as well as the state of all hinges, silent blocks and supports.

The steering is the usual, with hydraulic rail and optional servotronic module. But the rake, unfortunately, flows. The problem is in weak seals and corrosion of the rod. However, the bulkhead is mastered, and a thorough check of the rail is recommended when buying and on each. So, if the liquid in the Bach is still decreasing, the price of repairs will be from 15 thousand rubles.

Transmission

The first serious surprises wait for potential buyers X1 exactly here. No, there are no problems with the MCPP, and in the transfer boxes, gears and electric motors are still dying - this is not a surprise. And the automatic transmission here is all long known. With the Motors of the N52 series of early editions, the GM 6L45R automatic transmission is most often found, six-speed. Machines of later releases usually have automatic transmission ZF 6HP19. The same automatic transmission is often found in conjunction with the atmospheric engines of the N46B20 series, from 2011 to 2015, but the GM automatic transmission was installed onto part of the cars. Since 2009, almost all diesel engines and machines with Motor Motors of the N20B20 have been equipped with a new eight-adjusted automatic transmission ZF 8HP45Z.




The GM transmission of this series is very reliable, because it is intended for large tracks and digest the moment up to 450 nm. The design drawbacks of the predecessors in the face of 5l40 almost disappeared - the petal pump has improved, changed the materials and form of the rotor, GDT has become more reliable, and its blocking is significantly resource and less pollutes oil. With a timely replacement of fluid, the box goes long enough.

In the winter, it falls in winter because of the "childish" problem - acts about the stock selection rod. During runs for 150 thousand, it is often necessary to intermediate repairs with a replacement of linear solenoids. If you drive with jerks, it may not break the mechanics, and the electronics is the automatic transmission control unit assembly with solenoids. GDT repair is most often happening when runs for 200-250 thousand, but in the case of the "sports" style of driving, a resource can be two less.

The mechanical part basically suffers from dirty oil - problems start with slow down switching 2-3 and rear transmission, on - blows when you turn on all transmissions, which will require expensive repairs. In general, this gearbox is a very successful design, although on the ride characteristics and lagging behind the ZF automatic transmission.

ZF six hundred people have long been known to all services. The first experience in the introduction of electronics in the ACAP itself with the formation of "mechatronics" to some extent was ingenious. The transition to more economical hydraulic schemes and improved kinematics was also a breakthrough. But the owners more remembered excellent dynamics and very expensive and frequent repairs of these transmissions.

The runs of 200 thousand kilometers are the limit, the repair at the same time is extremely voluminous and expensive. On the boxes of those series, which was raised on x1, most often the breakdowns are associated with the "Mechatronics" failures, but in this case it changes not entirely. In most cases, it is limited to cleaning and replacing the separator plate and the control of the operation of loaded solenoids. The resource problems of this series of automatic transmission starts after 150 thousand kilometers: first of all, it needs to be replaced by the GDT blocking linings, and if the oil has not changed or rarely changed, then in the replacement of all bushings and repair of the oil pump. Fans of "Press the Sackage" every time the resource of GDT drops to hundreds of thousands, but even with a very calm ride, the lining is unlikely to reach out until 200-250 - the box is quite actively using the possibility of partial blocking even with a calm movement.


The eight-adjusted automatic transmission 8HP45Z is famous for the dependence of the resource from the style of movement, as well as excellent opportunities for electronic diagnostics of its condition. For details, you can contact the "Five" material. Speaking in general, the resource fell a little more, but the number of serious refuses "Mechatronics" has less boxes, and it will better endure hard modes and overheating. True, in repair it is also more expensive than its six-speed predecessors.

Actually, the resource of the automatic transmission of modern BMW is not a surprise, as well as the price of repair. Surprises begin with anterior gearbox, which, with all its incompleteness, often turns out to be without oil and with damaged bearings. However, howl when dumping gas can be caused by the problems of the dispensing box. With the younger series of motors, the ATC35L series was too weak, which tritely does not withstand off-road "feats". The stronger ATC350 is kept noticeably better - it also put instead of "junior" in the event of the release of the latter.

Yes, and the rear gearbox on the versions of 28iX and 25DX is inclined to "disappear in full". If you skip the moment of separation of one or even two silent fastening, then you can "get" to replace the drive shafts assembly.

Fortunately, there is nothing more to break here. Is that the resource of anthers Sls from the front is small: they are recommended to change every 50,000 kilometers. They, as a rule, begin to "sweat" in the summer, and in the winter the loss of tightness can be skipped, and then the hinge itself will have to change.

Motors

The cost of the radiator N46.

Price for the original:

20 369 rubles

Most of the cars are equipped with atmospheric engines of the N46B20 series and diesel N47B20. Of the general difficulties - a very dense layout of radiators, and on motors with a superior, not a very successful form of the intercooler - it is very difficult to rinse it. But let's start with a more popular on x1 diesel engine.

Diesels of the N47 series are good for all - with a tight, power and economy. To all other than good chances to ruin the owner and the characteristic noise of timber, well heard in the cabin. Motors until 2011 issues have a frankly small resource of the timing chain, which is located on the side of the flywheel. Of course, the price of its replacement is extremely large, since the procedure includes the removal of the engine. Well, the flap of the intake manifold, over time, seeking to get into cylinders, and the capricious piezoquorms will complete the picture.


If the chains changed under warranty, then you can count on the resource of about 250 thousand kilometers before the bulkhead, but some of the cars did not hit the revocation campaign, and the owners consider the chain timing "eternal", so that the chances of buying a problem copy remain. Usually these Machine Machine breaks up from 80 thousand when runs, but the upper boundary hesitates. Part of the cars could pass the warranty repairs until 2011, with the replacement of the crankshaft and chains on the "intermediate", but also an unsuccessful option - in this case, the chance of slipping the timing chains and a break of the chain of the oil pump, but with a slightly large runs than that of the initial version .

The resource of piezo formo is limited approximately 150-200 thousand mileage kilometers, and they can deliver a lot of trouble. In the case of leaks, it is characteristic of them, it can happen either by hydrate, or a piston squeak. Therefore, it is recommended to check the nozzles for the presence of a series in an interview campaign. Against the background of these difficulties, little things like current heat exchangers, the presence of options without a heater, "buggy" EGR and clogging of the particulate filter - just just nonsense. The rest of the motor is very good - if it took about it and changed the oil on time, then it is quite capable of please the owner of such a car.

But the gasoline N46 is unlikely to be. Many believe that a two-liter atmospheric motor is much easier than diesel engines and turbocharged N20. Apparently, because there are so many cars with him. That's just in practice, this is a set of absurdities that are hung on a two-liter "atmospheric".

Sophisticated underprise inlet, high temperature thermostat temperature, adjustable oil pump - All this reduces reliability and increases the price of servicing the banal "four" to the disproportionate performance of its size. In addition, the motor is famous for the banal mask. And let the fans of the brand tell that it is good, as the oil is constantly updated, but it is precise as a consequence of a piston group to crawl due to an unsuccessful oil drain from the groove of the oil-chain ring, its unsuccessful shape, low heat belt and thin compression rings. Ends the picture the electronic oil level sensor, which sometimes fails, with the result that the motor is sent to the garbage quickly and easily.


The RMS circuit resource is about 150 thousand kilometers, as much as the valvetronic mechanism on the standard oil. In principle, everything can be put in order: replace the piston group to the upgraded, change the timing, clean and move the engine ... But most of the owners of such cars simply pour oil. Because it is recommended to buy only if you carefully read this paragraph, and all of the listed you are not bothering you. In any other case, it is better to take or tested the "six" N52B30 time, the most successful from its series. Its problems are approximately similar to the N46 series, but stretched over time in two or two and a half times. Another alternative is a gasoline N20, a completely new motor with a superposition. Of the advantages of the notorious "atmospheric" - except relative simplicity and maintainability: there are also repair dimensions, and spare parts, and methods for restoring all nodes. Yes, and find a contract aggregate is not a problem.

BMW X1 E84.
Fuel consumption per 100 km

N20B20 In two forcing options - the engine is significantly more new and according to the characteristics not equal to the old N46. True, the price of restoration of such an advanced engine - soluminous, with a "cunning" geometry of a piston group, adjustable by the oil pump, the cooling system, direct injection and turbocharging - more at times, and the resource of the piston group with a small forcing is equal to the RCM resource on N46. However, yet the machine with it is noticeably fresh, better served and small problems are noticeably less. Yes, and go much better.

From the "special" troubles - the flows of the cooling system of the cooling system: it is the main and only one, its price is quite large, but there are no cheap substitutes. There are still leaks of oil glasses: until 2014, it was plastic, and inside did not withstand the oil pressure partition. In this regard, it is strongly recommended (if it was not yet done under warranty) replacement for a glass number 11 42 7 548 032 with a heat exchanger number 11 42 7 525 333 - these are all-aluminum parts.


The GDM resource with an active movement is less than 100 thousand kilometers, and the signs of the death chain of the oil pump drive in lovers "like" on the cold motor are observed and under runs less than 70. Unfortunately, the motor was replaced by a newer series without waiting for debugging. In addition to these troubles, there is always a small chance of piston jackets, and the control electronics festers regularly. Options with different power differ in a piston group, and the chipovka significantly reduces the engine's resource due to increasing the tendency to detonation and poor-quality settings. But the power of about 350 and the more power is quite achievable.


Summary

As you can see, X1 is a good car. Too simple with the form of modern standards of the brand, but nevertheless, well-fit in the niche allotted. She is deliberately simple in many moments - and this is good because it reduces the price of service, and that to the pleasure of driving, then it is enough, because the chassis is taller.

The best option from the point of view of mechanics is the most likely a car with a row "six" and "gun" GM under the hood, but a diesel engine with a replaced timing, fresh nozzles and without additional problems will be easy to compete according to the dynamics, and on fuel consumption and general practicality It will be noticeable. With a slight run, you can risk and take a car with a turbocharged gasoline engine: it is really good, and in combination with an eight-speed automatic transmission, it shows the wonders of the dynamics and savings. He is also recommended for all fans of serious tuning.

Your voice

We held under the E84 sector, at first glance, identify as compact crossovers were difficult: a squat and elongated silhouette rather resembled a raised wagon. The new machine, which received the code name F48, does not leave space for discrepancies. It is built not on the 3rd series platform, as the predecessor, - its donor was the 2nd series Active Tourer. As a result of the violation of all canons, the X1 significantly reduced the overall length and base, the height, on the contrary, increased. Here is such a renormand unexpected. And in class affiliation, the car is no longer necessary to doubt.

More elegant headlights are reminded in the form of the Lighting Devices of the 1st Series, and the radiator grille almost degrees the front bumper, no longer being its component element. Lanterns are ejected and deprived of sharp corners. In general, an externally car looks at the same time solid and more aggressive, which can be considered a certain plus.

The dimensions of the new generation car (changes compared to the predecessor are given in brackets).

Interior, convenience of landing and capacity

To understand the details of the design of the front panel at the Bavarians - the case is ungrateful, since the corporate identity in all models is carried out perfectly. The differences, of course, are, but they are difficult to treat even a specialist. Nevertheless, it is worth noting several changes compared to the E84 generation. First-way on the instrument shield between the dials of the speedometer and the tachometer disappeared the rectangle of the onboard computer. The monitor of the multimedia system is a basic 6.5-inch or an optional 8.8-inch - released from the front panel niche and brighted on top of the torpedo. Changed the "music" and climate control plates. By the way, and the other looks much more elegant. The shape of the air ducts of the heating system, the location of the engine start button, the organization of space around the gear selection selector and also a bunch of small things also updated, which has a beneficial effect on the aesthetics of the driver's seat, and on its ergonomics.

The cardinal reduction of length, including the base, did not affect the capacity of the cabin. For the feet of the rear row passengers, the designers are generally managed to carve additional 37 mm. Even a fair growth of characters with convenience will be easy to spread on the sofa, not risking the knees about the backrest ahead of the standing armchair. Yes, and at the level of the shoulders, the interior expanded - a little, of course, but for small cars there is literally every millimeter.

The trunk was much larger: the minimum volume increased by 85 liters, and with folded seats - by 200 liters. There is no miracle here: the height of the car has grown, and the length of the hood fell, because the engine is now located crosswise.

Dynamics and economy

The smallness upsets the basic front-wheel drive, which got a car along with the platform from Active Tourer. At the same time, it makes it happy that the fashion for three-cylinder motors, who had already settled under the hood of the 1st series, did not get to the "X-first", at least as long as. If the first generation machines started a 150-strong unit, then the countdown starts from 192-strong. It is 8 liters. from. Powerful predecessor, and the torque is 10 nm above. In this case, the motor saves 0.4 liters on the highway and 1.4 liters in the city. The next engine is new for a compact crossover. At 231 hp And 315 Nm, it requires about the same amount of fuel as the less powerful fellow.

Diesels are still two, but both added in power - 6 and 13 liters. from. respectively. Everything without exception is equipped with automatic gearboxes.

Budget

The price of the E84 generation began with a mark of 1,810,000 rubles, now for the car will have to post at least 1,960,000. But it should be borne in mind that the basic is now not version 18i, but more powerful 20i. In addition, it is much better equipped with: in the list of standard equipment, the help of attitudes on the rise, "start-stop", electromechanical parking brake, parking assistant, LED headlights and parking sensors. If you compare, say, all-wheel drive versions 20i in both generations, which it turns out that the old one cost 2,006,000 rubles, and the new pulls on 2,100,000 casual. That is, the rise in price is still observed, although minor. The cheapest diesel engine was offered for 2,001,000 rubles with "mechanics" and 2,028,000 with a "automatic". Now the price tag starts with 2,200,000 rubles, and this is already a difference of 10 percent.

Safety

EuroNcap tested in 2012 a first-generation restyled car, and she received five stars. The new X1 security tests have not yet been subjected, but it is unlikely to give way to the predecessor. The newly developed XDrive actuator system demonstrates exceptional efficiency, flexibly redistributing the power between the front and rear wheels depending on the conditions of movement during any weather. Armer and rear suspension levers are made of high strength steel. The optional driving assistant system includes the functions of tracking, long-term control, warning about the danger of collision and automatic braking in urban environments, a speed limit indicator indicating the overtaking bar and much more.

BMW cars are German quality and maximum level of comfort. Every fan and owner of any brand model knows about it. Especially when it comes to BMW X1 crossover. This model has practically no shortcomings, except the price bite. To date, the second generation of "German" is available to Russian buyers. Many owners are interested where they collect BMW X1 in 2017 for the domestic market? In fact, this car model is produced immediately in six countries of the world. The main thing and most powerful enterprise is located in Germany in Leipzig. In addition, the release of the crossover is adjacent to:

  • China
  • India
  • Mexico
  • Thailand
  • Russia.

Maybe for someone will be a surprise the fact that in the Russian Federation also make BMW X1. The car is collected at the Kaliningrad company Avtotor. By the way, there are also other models of the German brand: BMW 3 Series, 5 Series, X3 and X5. You can simply just go past this German crossover. The car was made according to the analogue of the previous model. Both cars are very similar to each other, and some fans call them competitors. This generation, as is the previous one, has excellent handling. The car perfectly fits into turns and calmly behaves on the road. And if the predecessor had some shortcomings and defects, the BMW x1 of the second generation was deprived of all these flaws.

Characteristics of BMW X1.

This "German" is built on another platform - UKL. The all-wheel drive crossover led to the fact that some of the machine performance steel is less. The dimensions of the new BMW x1 now make up: 4439 mm × 1821 mm × 1598 mm. The wheelbase of the car also changed - 2670 millimeters. Where the BMW X1 is released, they know how these indicators affect the choice of buyers. Although the car has become a little less, it did not affect its reliability and quality. Clearance of the new German crossover - 183 millimeters. In the car model range, this upgraded unit fits perfectly. The manufacturer has installed a large radiator lattice on the car, a solid bumper with considerable air intakes and a round-shaped fog.

Buyers can choose a machine with 17, 18 or 19-inch wheels. Overall optics and LED "Stuffing" give this car by masculinity and sportiness. The manufacturer offers a crossover in ten different shades of metallic. The car has become smaller in size, but inside, on the contrary, it is now sufficiently comfortable and cozy. The front seats became higher than 36 millimeters, and the rear by as much as 64 millimeters. Now passengers from behind we will be more space for legs. The usual trunk state is 505 liters, with folded seats, the volume is 1550 liters.

The quality of finishing materials here is a magnificent. It looks expensive and luxurious. Motor gamma crossover is very rich. The Germans offer customers a car with two options for gasoline and three diesel units. The volume of engines in all acromests is 2.0 liters, but the power is different. It may be:

  • 192 Strong Motor (280 nm)
  • 231-strong unit (350 nm)
  • 150-strong diesel (330 nm)
  • 190-strong diesel (400 nm)
  • 231-strong diesel (450 nm).

Also, depending on the configuration and power plant, the crossover consumes a different amount of fuel. On average, the indicator is from 4.5 to 6.5 liters. Where BMW X1 is produced, they tried to make a car economical in terms of fuel consumption.

Disadvantages of crossover

It is known how ideal by anything or another vehicle, he will have its pros and cons. Of course, the BMW X1 advantages more than flaws, but still, there are missions. The cost of "German" is quite high, as for auto class. The basic option will cost the buyer in 1,990,000 rubles. Agree, not many can afford such a car. But, this is not the most important thing. It is surprised by the fact that there is no spawning in the car with such a price. For operation on our roads, the absence of a spare wheel is invalid.

Another defect is a huge tunnel in the legs of the rear passenger. Every time someone will leather through it, be sure to blur it, as there are no rug on it. Also, it is not enough in the cabin to store the necessary things. You will not even be able to put the A4 format documents in the glove box. It seems to be a trifle, but still. When on the street wet and dirty, after another trip, all the rear window and the back of the crossover will be dirty. And finally, leather interior.

Maybe this is not a lack for someone, but I think many will agree with me that even the highest quality genuine leather does not compare with a pleasant natural cloth. Especially in summer, it is not very pleasant to stick and bathe even in a beautiful leather chair. It does not matter where BMW X1 collected in 2017, we or in Germany, according to the quality of the car, almost identical.

The German concern "BMW" became the first major car enterprise that decided to start assembling cars in Russia. The company "Avtotor" is located in Kaliningrad, and today this company supplies the largest number of "BMW" entering the Russian market. At the same time, many doubts arise in very many: is it worth it to take a car collected in Russia, how much better will be "BMW" by the German assembly? Opinions on the forums can be found directly opposite, despite that, objective evidence of both points of view is difficult.

What attracts the Russian buyer truly German cars

One of the main advantages of the truly German car is the quality of the engine. The durability of the entire structure depends on the reliability of the motor, and it is the German technique for this parameter ahead of many manufacturers of the whole world. And it is reliability that ultimately lacks the products of the Russian car industry. "BMW" already in the world has become a symbol of practicality, quality and comfort.

Distinctive features of this car: excellent handling due to the coordinated work of complex electronic systems, workable brakes, a comfortable salon, which will be comfortable to feel the driver of any complex. With all the positive qualities of BMW, they are focused on movement in the city, so they are not intended for complex road conditions. After the company began assembling cars in the Kaliningrad plant, hot spores relative to the quality of cars broke out among lovers of this brand.

Features "BMW" collected in Russia

How to distinguish the BMW German assembly from Kaliningrad? Russian assembly is equipped with a number of constructive differences. Since the "autotor" products are focused mainly on the Russian buyer, the special "Russian package" should have been adapted to non-standard local conditions. The main distinguishing features of the "Russian" BMW:

  • Increased by 22 mm clearance allowed to achieve increased patency. Taking into account the situation of Russian roads such an supplement is difficult to call too much.
  • More rigid shock absorbers and reinforced stabilizers (and front, and rear). This will allow the car longer to maintain performance.
  • Electronics allows you to start the car even in conditions of sufficiently serious frosts.
  • Many motorists point out that the Russian assembly is less sensitive to the quality of gasoline, which is important, given the quality of fuel at most refills.

Thus, the traditional BMW has become more durable, designed to overcome difficulties and movement on those routes to which the machine initially was not intended at all. You can check the exact place of the car assembly using the VIN code. This marking that is placed on the engine, and in which the manufacturer must be reflected. Russian cars are marked with the letter "x". You can go shopping with a friend knowing where to see the VIN code.

What to choose: German or Russian assembly

So far, for the production of BMW at the factory in Kaliningrad, almost completely imported components use. That is, it is difficult to talk about the discrepancy as machines, since in the end they pass the same quality control. At the same time, many noted that when driving on the vehicle of the Russian assembly, heard noise, and the car in the end turns out to be less durable. However, these shortcomings can be attributed to the quality of service, and to comply with the rules of operation of the machine.

Cars collected in Kaliningrad, eventually pass the triple quality control: the manufacturer initially checks the manufacturer, then they are checked when entering the plant, and, ultimately, the last check they pass after the assembly. The probability of marriage in this case is minimized, so the "Russian" BMW is little inferior to German. Russian assembly enters the market for 13 years.

An important factor determining the purchase of the Russian assembly is its value. The forums often ask a question if you can buy a new BMW German assembly at the dealer? New German cars are still supplied to the Russian market, but their cost is very high. For example, the BMW 520i of the updated series since September last year is available from official vendors at a price of 1.825 million rubles. Machines collected in Russia are not subject to customs duties, therefore, the cheating on prices is noticeably less.

German bu car or new domestic

What is better to buy: Used car from Germany or new domestic? Prices made in Russia cars are almost equal to models with a small mileage that are transported across the border. It is difficult to say what it will be better for the Russian driver:

  1. Used BMW, having a small mileage, with the right operation little in what is inferior to new. The Germans were always leaning people, and used cars arrive from abroad in very good condition, becoming a profitable purchase.
  2. At the same time, a new car cannot be compared with anything. It is always more pleasant to be behind the wheel of the car, which no one has yet possessed you. Buying new cars can fall into preferential lending programs aimed at supporting the manufacturer. This will help further save.
  3. The new car has a warranty coupon, which will allow you to correct any factory flaws if they are. Many owners respond positively about the Russian assembly: the cars are quite high-quality, they do not inferior to German analogues, and the quality of the assembly in them is not worse.

Prejudice regarding the quality of Russian cars, of course, have serious reasons. At the same time, it is changed, and we can expect that the Russian assembly will soon be at a completely decent level, gradually ousting the Western representatives of the auto industry. So far, the choice remains only for the opinion and taste of the buyer.
