Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The BMW X2 generation shows a significant downward trend in complaints, dropping from a high of 14 in 2018 to just 2 in 2019. For the 2019 model year, these complaints were limited to one instance of Exterior Lighting and one regarding Vehicle Speed Control/Engine, though the data does not specify the root cause of these issues. Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) also decreased from 108 in 2018 to 78 in 2019, marking the start of a general decline that continued through 2022. With zero reported crash or fire complaints and a stability in recall numbers compared to the years immediately preceding and following, the 2019 model represents a point of increased reliability over the debut year. Consequently, this is a good year to buy.
