The BMW X1 is the most affordable SUV by the German manufacturer in India and has been on sale for a long time now. The compact SUV got an upgrade some time back and came with a more muscular body along with better interiors and engines. While it may be the most affordable BMW SUV in India, the cost of buying a new X1 is still something that most of us can’t afford. However, one can easily get a well-maintained used example of the BMW X1 for less than the price of Maruti Suzuki Swift. So if you are interested in owning a German compact SUV for a fraction of its original cost, take a look at this example we have hand picked for you.

The best part about the 1st generation BMW X1 is its beautiful handling. The luxury crossover gets a hydraulic power steering and this makes it great fun to drive on twisty roads. The rear-wheel-drive layout, the longitudinal engine mounting, beautiful weight balance and the hydraulic power steering come together to make this car special to drive. Also, since it has an ample ground clearance of 193 mm, it can handle bad roads with ease.

The interiors of the car ae also in a pretty great condition going by the images. Draped in a dual-tone shade of beige and black, the cabin of the BMW X1 has a modern feel to it. There is an infotainment system on the centre part of the dashboard while the seats have leather upholstery. All in all, the X1 is a compact, fun to drive BMW car that has more than enough ground clearance and pep for Indian roads.
