In Brief: 2020 BMW X1 (F48 LCI) – A more practical, more comfortable MINI Countryman

First introduced back in 2009, the BMW X1 is the first-ever luxury crossover from the Bavarian manufacturer. It proved to be so well-received that BMW went on to sell over 820,000 units over the model’s 6-year lifespan. Malaysia received the first-generation X1 (E84) back in 2010, before introducing the second-generation model in 2015.

Review: All wheel drive 2020 Mazda CX-30, at RM 176k, you can buy a CPO BMW X1, worth it?

To be clear, the Mazda CX-30 is not a rival to the BMW X1. As you know, the imported-from-Japan CX-30 is not cheap, no thanks to additional import/excise taxes. For about the same RM 176,059 (with SST) asking price of this top specs all-wheel-drive (AWD) Mazda CX-30 variant, you can buy a lightly used, barely a year old certified pre-owned (CPO) but lower specs front-wheel drive BMW X1 sDrive20i from BMW Premium Selection.

BMW Malaysia updates price list for 2021, BMW 320i cheaper by RM 1,911

BMW Malaysia has released the updated price list for 2021 with a few notable changes. Prices have fluctuated for some models while some remained the same, like the BMW 218i Gran Coupe and BMW X1 sDrive 18i. Here’s the interesting part – the prior 5-year warranty and service package is now optional; standard is a 2-year warranty without free service. This means prices have dropped across the board with the standard 2-year warranty, but goes back to the same price as before should customers opt fo
