What is the maintenance schedule and items for the BMW X1?

BMW X1 maintenance intervals are at 5,000, 7,500, and 10,000 kilometers, with maintenance items consistent with other models. Below are detailed specifications about the BMW X1: Overview: The BMW X1 is a compact SUV from BMW. The vehicle dimensions are 4454mm × 1798mm × 1545mm. The wheelbase is 2760mm.

When I first started driving the BMW X1, I also pondered the maintenance issues. This car is recommended to be serviced every 10,000 kilometers or once a year, don't delay it to avoid damaging the car. Basic maintenance includes changing the engine oil and oil filter, which costs around a thousand yuan at the 4S shop. At 20,000 kilometers, the air and cabin air filters need to be replaced, especially the cabin air filter which affects the air quality inside the car—those with children at home should pay extra attention. At 40,000 kilometers, the spark plugs and brake fluid need to be replaced, and the brake fluid should also be changed every two years. It's recommended to rotate the tires every 20,000 kilometers to extend their lifespan. The transmission fluid generally needs to be changed at 80,000 kilometers, but in snowy regions, the antifreeze should be replaced every two years. Don't skimp on maintenance by choosing cheap roadside shops—original parts and diagnostic equipment are most reliable at the 4S shop.

I just picked up my X1 last year and have studied the maintenance manual. Simply put, maintenance is required every 10,000 kilometers or 12 months, whichever comes first. The basic service always includes an oil and oil filter change—don’t skimp on the BMW-specific 0W-30 oil. Every 20,000 kilometers, add an air filter and cabin air filter replacement; you can save a few hundred by replacing the cabin air filter yourself. Brake fluid must be replaced every two years—don’t forget this. At the 40,000-kilometer major service, spark plugs and the fuel filter need replacing, and the cost will suddenly double. Always remind the technician to check the brake pad thickness during maintenance; stop-and-go city driving wears them down faster than you’d think. Oh, and wear-and-tear parts like wiper blades aren’t included in regular maintenance—buying them online and replacing them yourself is super easy.

I remember during the first maintenance of my X1, the technician said the key indicators are two numbers: 10,000 km or 1-year interval. The basic maintenance is the engine oil and three filters package, with the price depending on whether you use regular oil or the OEM long-life type. BMW's CBS Condition Based Service system is actually quite accurate and will indicate the next maintenance time. At 20,000 km, the focus is on checking the brake fluid's water content and tire uneven wear, and in northern winters, you also need to test the antifreeze's freezing point. At 40,000 km, the ignition coils and spark plugs must be replaced, otherwise, you might experience stalling on the road. At 60,000 km, the transmission fluid needs to be checked, and at 80,000 km, the timing chain must be replaced. Finally, a reminder not to overlook checking the sunroof drainage pipes during maintenance; if they're blocked, it can lead to water leakage inside the car, which is particularly troublesome to repair.
