Make sure that there is sufficient space to
raise and open the Glass Roof.

tom.

Do you have a question about the X1 and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
Does my x1 have a hold on the break, and if so how does it work?
The BMW X1 does not have the Auto Hold feature, as BMW has decided to omit it from this model while including it in the X3 and X5. However, the X1 does have Hill Start Assist, which holds the brakes for about three seconds after releasing the brake pedal to help with starting on a hill. Auto Hold, which keeps the brakes engaged while stopped until the driver accelerates, is not available on the X1.

I recently purchased a 2012 X1, Xdrive, diesel, 241000 kilometres on the odometer. I want to know if this car has a timing chain and if it needs to be changed? I have no indication that it has ever been replaced and the car is working fine.
Yes, the 2012 BMW X1 xDrive diesel has a timing chain. It should be changed as a preventative measure at the correct mileage intervals to avoid failure. The average cost for timing chain replacement is £1,251.01.
