Description
Infinity Automotive Solutions are pleased to market this stunning BMW X1 2.0 18d SE finished in Black Sapphire metallic. Just 2 owners from new and comes with a full BMW and specialist service history. Long MOT with no advisories valid until 18/07/2027.
If you want a premium family SUV that is genuinely cheap to run and honestly priced, this is a very sensible place to look — and this particular car is considerably better specified than a standard SE, having left the factory with a useful list of cost options.
Crucially, this is a Euro 6 diesel, so it is fully ULEZ and clean-air-zone compliant — no daily charge to drive into London or any other UK clean air zone. For anyone covering serious mileage in and around the capital, the combination of low fuel costs and zero clean-air charges is very hard to beat at this money.
The 2.0-litre BMW diesel produces 150ps and a healthy 330Nm of torque from just 1,750rpm, making it effortless in everyday driving — strong from low revs, quiet at a cruise and genuinely relaxing over distance. 0-62mph takes 9.2 seconds and it will sit at motorway speeds all day. Official combined economy is up to 66mpg, with a realistic 50 to 55mpg achievable on a run, and CO2 of just 114g/km.
Importantly, this car has the optional Sport automatic gearbox rather than the standard unit — BMW's excellent eight-speed Steptronic with a sharper shift programme and steering wheel paddles, so you can take manual control when you want to. It also has Performance Control, which subtly brakes the inside wheel through corners to sharpen the handling, and a sports leather steering wheel. Together they make it noticeably more engaging to drive than a base-specification X1.
Practicality is a real strength, and again this car is better equipped than most. It has the automatic powered tailgate, opening and closing at the touch of a button — genuinely useful with an armful of shopping — plus the optional adjustable rear seats, which slide and recline so you can trade rear legroom against luggage space. The 40:20:40 split-folding rear bench lets you drop just the middle section for long items while keeping two rear passengers seated, and there's a 505-litre boot opening out to 1,550 litres with the seats folded.
Elsewhere the specification list includes automatic air conditioning, BMW navigation with Real-Time Traffic Information, DAB digital radio, Bluetooth with audio streaming and hands-free, a CD player, ConnectedDrive services with intelligent emergency call and Teleservices, rear parking sensors, cruise control with braking function, Active Guard collision warning with city braking, an alarm system, privacy glass, black roof rails, a front centre armrest, the storage compartment package, additional 12V sockets, velour floor mats and locking wheel bolts. Seats are trimmed in hard-wearing anthracite 'Grid' cloth, and it rides on 17-inch double-spoke alloy wheels.
Black Sapphire remains one of BMW's best colours and suits the X1's uprig
