BMW X1 Engines and Transmissions

A BMW X1 engine may be gasoline or diesel, paired with rear-wheel sDrive or all-wheel xDrive. The 20i 2.0 AT xDrive, the frugal diesel 16d 2.0 MT sDrive and the 18i 2.0 MT sDrive illustrate how powertrain, transmission and drivetrain combine into quite different cars.
