The verdict

What's good

Curved iDrive display integrates navigation and driver info seamlessly
Rear seat legroom surprisingly generous for a subcompact premium SUV
Steering feel remains engaging for its crossover class
Panoramic roof option opens up an otherwise tight-feeling cabin

What's not

14-gallon tank means more frequent fuel stops on road trips
Rear cargo hold is among the smallest in the class
Firm ride on 19-inch wheel options felt on city streets
Turbo four-cylinder sounds coarse under hard acceleration

The engine

B48

2.0L Turbo I4

BMW's B48 turbo-four is smooth and eager, its twin-scroll turbo and direct injection giving a flat, torquey midrange that punches well above the 2.0-liter displacement.

It's a pillar of BMW's modular engine family, built around a shared ~500cc-per-cylinder architecture so the four, the three-cylinder, and the straight-six all use common parts.

Each cylinder displaces almost exactly 500cc — a B48 four is essentially a B58 six with two cylinders removed.
It has landed on Wards 10 Best Engines list repeatedly since its debut.
