Buying Tips for the 2021 BMW X2 (F39)

  • Check the automatic gear selector mechanism; the 'Secure vehicle with parking brake' warning requires a costly shifter replacement, exactly like the X1.
  • Test drive the car on rough UK roads; the M Sport suspension combined with run-flat tyres makes for a very harsh ride that isn't for everyone.
  • Inspect the large alloy wheels for kerb damage; the aggressive stance pushes the wheels out, making them easy to scratch when parking.
  • Verify the condition of the front suspension lower control arms, which wear out quickly due to the firm suspension setup.
  • Check the rear visibility; the thick C-pillars and small rear window make reversing difficult, so ensure the parking sensors and camera work perfectly.
  • On the xDrive models, ensure all four tyres have matching tread depth to prevent destroying the transfer case.
