The Good
The 2019 BMW X2 offers a compelling blend of sporty performance and practicality. Its agile handling and available M35i engine provide an engaging driving experience (emotional). All-wheel drive provides all-weather confidence (practical). It balances a comfortable ride with decent fuel economy (practical). The distinctive design is stylish (emotional) and the premium interior offers a luxurious feel (both).
The Bad
The 2019 BMW X2's sporty styling compromises rear headroom and cargo space compared to the X1. The ride can be firm, especially on models with larger wheels and the sport suspension. Some drivers may find the infotainment system a bit complex. Reliability has been a mixed bag. Potential buyers should research specific issues and check the vehicle's maintenance history.

Analysis
What Problems Does the 2019 BMW X2 Have?
Some owners have experienced issues with the engine, particularly oil leaks and cooling system problems, though these are not widespread. Suspension components, especially bushings, may wear out prematurely, leading to noises and diminished ride quality. The electronic parking brake has also been a source of complaint for some owners.
Long-term reliability can be a concern with BMWs, and the X2 is no exception. Regular maintenance, including timely oil changes and fluid flushes, is crucial to prevent major problems down the line. It's recommended to check the vehicle's service history thoroughly before purchasing a used 2019 X2. Pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic is always a good idea to identify any potential issues that may not be immediately apparent. Additionally, checking for any Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) related to specific issues can provide insights into common problems and potential fixes.

How Does the 2019 BMW X2 Compare to Other Sport Utility Vehicle?
In terms of price, the X2 is similarly priced to its German rivals. However, the Lexus UX often comes in at a lower price point. For a similar price, you can also consider the Volvo XC40, which offers a stylish interior and strong safety ratings.
Alternatives to consider: If reliability is a top priority, the Lexus UX is a better choice. If you want more space and practicality, consider the Audi Q3. If you value a comfortable ride and luxurious interior, the Volvo XC40 is a solid option. If you prefer a sportier driving experience and aren't as concerned about reliability, the BMW X2 might still appeal.

Nice funhad a wonderful x3, looked for something sleeker...can't go wrong with a BMW, fun, classy, nice all around. Really like this car. BMW is so solid.

Nice CarI used to drive a BMW 328ix and wanted to upgrade to a bigger car, but not too big. The X2 was a nice in between model and it still gives the couple look, but it is an SUV. The car doesn't drive as smooth as my couple, but I suspect that I will get used to it. I am not a huge fan of the seats, but I like that there are several options to adjust for comfort. I do wish that the side view mirrors had the sensors to detect cars driving next to you and I wish that the panoramic sunroof opened all the way. Other than those minor things, very nice car.

BMW through & throughStylish, performance, almost all the bells & whistles. Needs blind spot monitoring! Fun to drive, love the Apple play and heads up display. Hope to have just as long as we had our 325xi.

The Eye-Catching X-2I wanted the M2 originally but the price tag was too steep for my wife so after test driving the X1, X2, and X3 we went with the X2. My wife has a Pilot so we already have a big car. I was turning in a leased 428i Gran Couple with all the options minus navigation. I absolutely loved the dynamic handling pack especially in sport mode when the steering wheel tightens up and the dampers kick in on the suspension. I got a ticket in San Antonio because I couldn’t resist rolling into the corners at 65mph on a 45mph road. My X2 has the xdrive, M Package and M package X. I was disappointed to find out that dynamic handling was an additional charge on M Package and didn’t realize until I saw standard suspension in my options but sport mode is still better then comfort mode. The car has eye catching looks and performs good on the road. Suspension is jarring at times in any mode; you feel the bumps assertively. I love the iPhone apps integration with iDrive and the connected drive feature to turn on various items from your phone like flash headlights, ventilate car, honk horn, lock doors, etc. I recommend the car if it is within your pocket books range.

Just a beautiful carThis car is beautiful. It rides and handles like an ultra expensive sports car. The Hardon Karma sound system is a monster. Car everything I expected and more.
John M. on April 28, 2019
Exactly what I wanted!This car does everything it promised. Great ride, great finish, quick, quiet, splendid handling, good gas mileage and outstanding looks. Also great in snow! I’m very pleased I bought it and not another small Mercedes.

Great Handling Sporty SAVThe BMW X2 is a blast to drive. Lots of fun. Comfortable. With the rear seats down it can transport bigger items. And it looks great! Adding options to the vehicle adds up quickly and there aren't many compartments to place items but other than those two items it is great. I would buy another without hesitation.
