BMW X2 — reported problems

What owners report: issue areas

Owner complaints are classified by the system they concern: 92 classifications in all. One complaint can concern several systems, so these add up to more than the number of complaints.

• Lights12 (13.0%)Official recall records for this system: 2, covering model years 2018.
• Brakes10 (10.9%)Official recall records for this system: 11, covering model years 2018–2025.
• Electrical system10 (10.9%)
• Engine8 (8.7%)Official recall records for this system: 3, covering model years 2018.
• Steering6 (6.5%)Official recall records for this system: 1, covering model years 2019.
• Driver-assistance systems4 (4.3%)

Other / uncategorized: 18 classifications (19.6%) were not assigned to a specific system by the source. They are counted but not treated as an issue area.

These are counts of records held by CarFaultIQ, not a failure rate. More records can simply mean more vehicles were sold or more owners reported. No vehicles-in-service figure exists in this data, so no reliability or risk score can be derived from it.

What the records are about, by source

Each source is kept separate: owner complaints, recalls, manufacturer communications and investigations are different kinds of record and are never added together. All model years.

• Owner complaints (58 records, model years 2018–2026) are most frequently classified under: lights, brakes and electrical system.
• Manufacturer communications (714 records, model years 2018–2026) are most frequently classified under: electrical system, equipment & accessories and engine.

"Most frequently classified under" reports how the records are filed by the source. It is not a finding about causes, and a record can be filed under more than one system. Read the individual records
