Curious about awd reliability
I currently have a 2014 28 sdrive and want to get an xdrive around the same year but am worried about the reliability.
Should I be worried? Last edited by sudermatt; 06-21-2018 at 12:05 PM.. |

I just took my sdrive to a shop to give it a once over...motor and transmission mounts are failing, front shocks are leaking, tensioner belt needs replacing....2500 into this one or use it for a down on the one I really want.

I wouldn't put that kind of money into a car I wasn't keeping. Especially if making a change is immanent.

Get a second opinion..
If moving from RWD to AWD, consider the move from N20 to N55 also! |

i just got a 28i. AWD. the MPG has not been as great as advertised, but i might be due for new spark plugs. i am getting about 24mpg. hoping that spark plug change will push me over the 26mpg. i think i would be satisfied with that |

Driving style and the type of roads you drive on seem to play a big part with the X1. I do almost exclusively street driving and get between 20-24mpg mostly depending on if I drive in sport (most of the time) or normal mode. Frankly the cost difference is so small that I just drive the way I want to (which I would tend to call spirited!) |

Same here, on long trips I can get 30-32, but for every day commute/errands 23 all the time.

Back to the original question, if you all don't mind.
I ended up getting a 28 xdrive. I would like to know if there is anything I need to be aware of, watch for, warry of. Thank in advance. |

In my 14 35i w/ JB4 and catless DP I get 20-26, depending on what I'm doing. I actually got slightly better MPG after installing the DP since I don't floor it during acceleration. Long trips I get 23-27; DD for work is highway with a little city, so 21-23. Strictly city can be 18-21 depending on traffic, but I don't sit in much traffic ever.
Of course this car is no longer my DD, so it will see almost only highway. I'll post up my new DD/work soon |
