Hi there,

We have narrowed down on a 2010-BMW X1 Sdrive (2000cc) model.
what kind of fuel does it use - 91 regular or premium 95?
Does the tyres use Nitrogen or regular air?

Appreciate if we can get answers to these & also on how this vehicle is in overall terms(driving dynamics, handling, reliability etc) , will this be a good buy?

Thanks in advance.

1) According to data we have, this will run on 91.
2) No, if you check your tyre pressures from time to time, no cars need nitrogen in the tyres. The only advantage of nitrogen is that it does hold pressure for longer. Air is 78% nitrogemn anyway. It's just an up-sell for the dealer or tyre shops.
3) Driving dynamics/handling good.
4) Haven't heard of any high alerts for reliability if the vehicle is maintained properly.
5) Whether it's a good buy or not depends on how much you pay.
