As a BMW X1 owner for two years, from my daily driving experience, it uses a wet dual-clutch system, which is quite common in SUVs. The wet clutch has oil for cooling and lubrication, allowing it to handle higher torque, delivering smooth gear shifts without overheating during high-speed driving or uphill climbs on mountain roads. In contrast, dry clutches tend to wear out faster in stop-and-go traffic. The BMW X1's choice of a wet clutch enhances durability and extends transmission life. I frequently drive between urban and suburban areas, and the fuel efficiency is impressive. If buying a used X1, I recommend checking the clutch fluid and ensuring regular replacements. The driving experience combines comfort and responsiveness, making it ideal for someone like me who seeks a balanced performance.
