Just meant ordinary speed reduction when slowing down. Have just come from an EV which had regenerative braking which I accept is a totally different thing. Thanks for putting my mind to rest

Loving my first month of owning my 2018 20D Xdrive Xline. 1 query I do have is regarding autogearbox "braking" ie coming off the throttle I'd expect some engine braking but I'm not experiencing anything, almost feels like she's freewheeling, is there a way to check, set, reset anything? I've got Bimmercode with licences for both android (my phone), and IOS (my Ipad).

Sorry guys and gals to be a pain but am struggling to decide on whether to buy early or a later car. Normal head says as new as possible but currently stuck between deciding to push the budget to the absolute max of £25k and seen a very specced 20d 2019 for that or 2017 with a few necessities for £7-£8k less. I can't decide if I might feel I've made the wrong choice if I go early/older or sensible that I'll have not spent a chunk of money. The car will have to last quite some time. Went to see a 20d this morning and ended up driving an X4 M sport. Nice car but the suspension was just too hard by contrast the X1 mSport I then took out was a lot nicer,

Can't see id posted so I'll try again. SWMBO has come round to my idea of swapping my 1 year old, paid for MG5 EV for a diesel auto 4x4 X1 with her only stipulation I don't spend any more than the MG is worth c£22k. So normally, unless buying new as I did the MG, I'd use mileage as a big factor BUT, I've never had a bmw ; 2 I've seen take my fancy, a 2017 22k miles auto diesel, 4x4, reverse camera Leather front and rear parking sensors for £21.5k and the other is 2018, 60k miles, very well specced for £19k. Is a lower spec higher price and older less of a risk to the higher mileage car? Accepting their condition inc tyre brand and tread depth are comparable thoughts?

Ok, so new to here and keen to learn the various grades of X1. Will be looking for a 2017/19 diesel auto as a cash purchase but wondered if there is an easy to find and read spec chart showing what each grade (SE, MSport etc) has, and does not have. Engines I have figured out and leaning to a 190bhp.but wonder if the 25D twin turbo engine is any more of a risk than a 20D single turbo??? 2 or 4 wheel drive not sure yet, coming from a range rover p38 I don't need to traverse boggy fields but need sure footed on tarmac in wet and icy conditions. Self park. Is this like the Nissan version where it will steer into a parking space? Want front and rear parking sensors anyway, electric tailgate, smallest wheels they came with as standard, sat nav, mobile phone connectivity, not bothered about panoramic roof, apple car play or android auto. Either alcantara or leather any colour but not solid red, black or white. less than 40k miles. I realise this is heck of a wish list for a second hand car but pointers for standard spec and options I ought to seek out and any to avoid TIA
