How long will a BMW X1 last

If I ever buy a BMW I will plan on selling it or trading it in well before 100,000 miles.

the simple answer, as long as you take care of it

I generally maintain my car. At 150,000 miles, I'm starting to have some issues and needing to spend a few thousand dollars. Not so happy about that.

Never buy a BMW lease it. After 36 months 45000 miles if you don't git rid of it get ready for $1800 brake jobs, $300 batteries $150 brake fluid changes $900 in run flat tires, well you get the picture!!

I just purchased mine a few months ago. (2016 X1 with 30,000 miles. I believe it was a prior 4 year lease. The small dealer I purchased it from changed the brakes for me and a few other things I noticed when taking it for a test drive. The interior was in need of some major TLC but after a few days of work looks brand new again. The price was to good to resist. I opted out of extended insurance as I’ve had trouble with them in the past. My wife will probably end up driving the majority of the time and she is a lot more careful than I am (I like to drive on sports mode a lot) so hopefully it will last us at least a decade. I used to hate driving before I purchased the bimmer. Out of all the vehicles I’ve ever owned, Honda, Jeep, Subaru, I can say for certain that I will never go with anything other than BMW in the future expensive or not. The way it drives you just can’t beat.

Oh, the way it drives you until you're beat is absolutely worth noting. I can list SEVERAL things my "bimmer" (brief aside: I hear them called "beemers" too. And since apparently the format there is "insert a vowel or two between the "B' and the "M", I want you to reflect on if you'd still be willing to drive a "bammer", "boomer", or "bummer") tried to drive me to: it nearly drove me to fits of rage, insanity, murder, depression, suicide, and ultimately resignation over losing my damn shirt on the deal. In that order. If you desperately need the dopamine you get from driving the BMW? Get a Lexus. Drives the same, feels the same, is actually quieter, same level of prestige, but is a TOYOTA under the hood. Funny how I never see the kinda deals @Guru99DHJR and I BOTH got on our BMW's on a Lexus with less than 150,000 miles on it (bought my 2014 X1 with 38,000 on it for a shade over $12k, thinking, "holy crap! Someone fat- fingered on the sticker!"). But, as @Joe above pointed out, within weeks of hitting 45,000 miles - lo and behold! Would you look at that!? - every damn thing from transmission, to the alternator, to the bloody FREON IN THE AC needed work! But hey, at least I only have to take it to a specialized service center for them to import the exorbitant parts. Cost me $4,500 to get it to a SELLABLE state to trade the POS in! Never. Bloody. Again. But hey, I get it; it's my own fault: I WAS warned, as far back as their damn TV commercials. I went to the dealership to buy a car, and was STUPID enough to leave with a "driving machine," be it "ultimate" or not. If I went to home depot to buy a microwave and the sales guy asked me if I'd like to look at this "nifty nutrient-heating machine instead", I'd have backed slowly away, fixed grin plastered to my face, all the while assuming he was both on commission AND getting a kickback from some random Chinese manufacturer. You wouldn't likely buy a "flat moving-people-watchy machine" from Walmart instead of that TV either, now would you? I WISH someone has pointed out the acronym meant "Bottomless Money Waster" right up front.
