The small gauge below the tachometer on the BMW X1 is the fuel consumption meter, which displays the vehicle's real-time and average fuel consumption. The needle on the fuel consumption meter fluctuates according to the vehicle's speed and driving conditions. The fuel consumption data displayed by the onboard computer can only serve as a reference value and does not fully reflect the vehicle's fuel consumption over a certain distance. More information about the BMW X1 is as follows: 1. The dimensions of the BMW X1 are 4565mm in length, 1821mm in width, and 1620mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2780mm. 2. The BMW X1 is equipped with two types of engines: a 1.5-liter three-cylinder turbocharged engine and a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. The 1.5-liter three-cylinder turbocharged engine delivers a maximum torque of 140 horsepower and 220 Nm, while the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine provides a maximum torque of 192 horsepower and 280 Nm.
In my driving experience with the BMW X1, the small gauge below the tachometer is the fuel gauge, which indicates how much gasoline remains in the tank. Every time I drive out, I habitually glance at this gauge to check the fuel level, helping me avoid the trouble of running out of gas midway. As a frequently used feature, this small design is quite practical—when it lights up yellow, it means the fuel is low and it's time to refuel; if the needle drops to the bottom, immediate action is needed. BMW has arranged these gauges very clearly: the tachometer monitors engine RPM, the speedometer tracks vehicle speed, and the fuel gauge specifically shows fuel consumption status. I remind everyone not to overlook it, as running out of fuel can damage the fuel pump, leading to costly repairs. Whether for daily commutes or long trips, I always check the fuel level before setting off to ensure it can last until the next gas station. A simple habit can save a lot of hassle.
