    EDIT – Just noticed that the Motability search tool says that the 20i is a 1.5 litre engine. If that’s the case it’s the 3 cylinder engine, not the superbly smooth, quiet, powerful and economical 2.0i engine that we had in our last generation X1. I can’t tell from the BMW website configurator, but it says it’s 170 hp which is around 20 hp down on the usual 2.0i output. @kezo do you know?

    Current 1.5 3cyl engines – 18i 156hp (not available for X1) – 20i 170hp (48v mild hybrid).

    The 1.5 isn’t the most reliable of BMW engines having mixed reputation and is known for it’s vibrations, occasinal misfire under load etc.
