BMW X1 2009 xDrive23d has AWD (all wheel drive) (power is automatically distributed between the wheel axles) and automatic gearbox with 6 gears. BMW xDrive is a proactive all-wheel drive system without a center differential that engages before the vehicle becomes unstable, unnoticed by the driver. Torque is distributed between the axles via an electronically controlled multi-plate clutch located in the transfer case. Most of the time, the clutch is partially locked and power is transferred to both axles in a 40/60 front/rear ratio, but the system is capable of sending 100% of the torque to either axle. At high speeds or when parking, for example, the clutch is disengaged and all power is sent to the rear wheels. DSC (Dynamic Stability Control) also brakes the wheels individually to regain traction and assist in cornering.
BMW X1 2009 xDrive23d accelerates to speed 100 kilometres per hour in 7.3 seconds.

The fuel consumption of this BMW X1 2009 xDrive23d in combined mode (combining urban and highway driving) is 6.3 litres per 100km (15.9 km/l), city fuel economy - 7.8 l/100km, fuel consumption on highway - 5.5 l/100km. Fuel tank capacity is 61 litres or 16.12 gallons, which gives a mileage up to 960 kilometers without refueling in urban cycle and even up to 1100 kilometers on highway.
According to user reviews, this BMW real everyday fuel consumption is 8.1 litres per 100 km, which is 29% more than the manufacturer's stated. More - Real BMW X1 fuel consumption.

With the same engine there is also BMW X1 version with manual gearbox (BMW X1 2009 2.0 23d MT 4x4) available, which manufacturer's fuel consumption is lower by 0.3 litres per 100 km or 5 % - 6.0 litres per 100 km, whereas users reported real fuel consumption is lower by 0.4 litres per 100 km or 5 % - 7.7 litres per 100 km.

BMW X1 2009 xDrive23d engine N47D20T0

Engine reliability and common problems:

The BMW N47 engine is sometimes called the worst BMW engine because of problems with the timing chain, which tends to stretch at 100 000 km. In addition, the engine has to be removed from the car to replace the timing chain. The cause of the timing chain problem was eliminated for engines produced after 2015. Also, the crankshaft damper on this engine tends not to last very long. Cracks between the cylinders tend to appear due to overheating of the engine.
Overall, this engine can last around 190,000 to 330,000 km if properly maintained, using the correct quality oil and fuel, and carrying out regular checks and maintenance.
The engine has hydraulic valve tappets (lifters), which provide quieter operation and do not require periodic adjustment, but are more complex in design and can cause serious engine damage in the event of failure.
Engine displacement 1995 cm3
Number of cylinders 4
Bore (cylinder diameter) 84 mm
Stroke length (piston move) 90 mm
Compression ratio 16.5 : 1
Camshaft drive Timing chain

Chain motors are considered more reliable, chain replacement usually is required less often than a timing belt, but they are often louder and vibrate more.

More service info
Timing chain change interval 100,000 km (recommended)

Sometimes manufacturers do not specify timing chain replacement intervals and design chains for engine life. However, once the recommended change interval has been reached, it is recommended to periodically check the condition of the chain and to change the chain if excessive stretching is detected or if unusual noises from the engine or other symptoms occur.

Fuel system Common Rail

Common rail fuel injection provides more engine power, is quieter, more environmentally friendly and offers better fuel economy, but is more expensive to maintain and repair.
