If you’re asking “BMW X1 service cost,” you want a realistic number—what authorized workshops charge, what independent garages quote, and what owners say. Below is an up-to-date breakdown, with official package data, owner reports, and tips to avoid surprises.
Official Package Data: Service Inclusive & BSI
BMW India’s Service Inclusive / BSI packages list fixed service costs for the X1. These include scheduled maintenance using original parts (excluding wear & tear).
From the BMW X1 spec sheet:
- 3 years / 40,000 km Service Inclusive: ₹47,318 (petrol), ₹63,720 (diesel)
- 3 years / 60,000 km: ₹71,508 (petrol), ₹96,288 (diesel)
These are baseline for routine maintenance over fixed km / time.
Also, BMW offers Repair Inclusive packages (for mechanical/electrical repairs) with fixed cost options.
So one way to think about service cost is via these package numbers—spreading out cost predictably.
What Independent / Local Garages Report?
- In Bangalore, a workshop lists BMW X1 Diesel 1-year service cost at ₹12,999 (includes oil change, filters, checks)
- A YouTube video shows “BMW X1 complete general service cost starting at ₹14,999” in a private garage using OES spares
- In forums, many BMW X1 owners estimate authorized service / maintenance to fall in the ₹20,000–₹30,000/year band, especially when covered under prepaid maintenance + usage of dealership network.
These numbers reflect smaller jobs—not full major overhauls—but give you a sense of regular yearly service.
What Owners Report for Higher Mileage & Long Term Costs?
From real user reports:
- One TeamBHP user with 1,00,000 km on X1 says ~ ₹35,000 every 15,000 km for regular servicing + brake, disc replacements, etc.
- On Reddit, an X1 owner mentions annual maintenance with prepaid + warranty around ₹27,000 as a baseline for authorized services.
- Cars24’s analysis suggests that after 5 years, service alone for BMWs may total ₹1,20,000–₹1,50,000 (so ~₹24,000–₹30,000 per year) plus extra repair costs.
So when the car ages or hits higher usage, expect service + parts to climb.

Key Factors That Affect BMW X1 Service Cost
- Model / engine type (petrol vs diesel) — Diesel variants cost more per service in many cases.
- Age & mileage — Older cars need more replacements (suspension parts, sensors).
- Parts used — Genuine BMW parts vs aftermarket / OES spares.
- Dealer vs independent workshop — Authorized service is more expensive but assures warranty compliance.
- Service package coverage — Whether your car is under Service Inclusive / Repair Inclusive helps cap certain costs.
Recommendation for You:
If I were buying or owning an X1 today, I’d:
- Buy a Service Inclusive / BSI pacote early to lock service costs.
- Expect and budget for ₹20,000–₹30,000/year for first few years even with careful driving.
- Use authorized service for complex tasks; use trusted independent shops for regular jobs (oil, filters) but insist on good quality parts.
- Keep mileage and stress low—and do routine checks (fluids, brakes) frequently to catch issues early.
