At a glance
- Years: 2015 to 2022. The facelift came in 2019. The xDrive25e plug-in hybrid arrived in 2020.
- Reliability: 3/5. Gearboxes, the xDrive coupling and the timing chain carry most of the risk.
- DIY: 2/5. Chain, gearbox and xDrive work need a BMW-capable scanner and a workshop.
- Prefer: a B48 20i or 25i with a full service record and proof of gearbox fluid service.
- Avoid: a B37 diesel with no EGR or injector history, and a 7-speed dual-clutch car that jerks when pulling away.

Known issues

|---|---|---|---|
| Timing chain (B38, B48 and B47) | B38A15A/B38A15F, B48A20A/B48A20B, B47C20B | From about 100,000 km (check point) | 1,450-1,890 EUR (B38), 1,690-2,190 EUR (B48), 1,890-2,490 EUR (B47); Germany, 2026, KFZ Dietrich |
| Aisin 8-speed: harsh or delayed shifts | 8-speed Aisin (18d, 20d, 20i, 25i) | Not stated | 580-790 EUR fluid flush; 1,900-2,600 EUR mechatronics (Germany, 2026, KFZ Dietrich) |
| 7-speed dual-clutch | 7-speed DCT (18i, 20i) | 100,000-120,000 km (auto.ru) | No confirmed price |

Before you buy
- Test-drive the 8-speed Aisin in stop-and-go. Bad result: jerks, a delayed 1-2 shift, or no fluid service record. A scanner shows the adaptations and fault codes.
- Listen for a metallic rattle after a cold start. A BMW-capable scanner reads codes P0008, P0016, P0017 and P0341. Bad result: a rattle, those codes, or no chain history after 100,000 km.
- Drive slowly from a stop. Bad result: a rough take-up, a delay before the car moves, or a warning. A scanner reads the clutch adaptation.
- Ask for the rear coupling oil and filter record. Bad result: no record, or no service in the last 60,000-80,000 km. A scanner reads the all-wheel control unit for faults.
- Ask for EGR, injector and turbo history. A scanner reads the EGR values. Bad result: a clogged EGR, a DPF warning, power loss or limp mode, or no work record.
- Check for rough idle and misfire on a cold and a warm start. Ask for fuel and oil history. Bad result: rough idle, misfire, or power loss.
- Ask a BMW dealer to check open recall campaigns for the car's VIN. Bad result: an open campaign on the EGR cooler or the rear lights.
