BMW X1 - Option 1AG Touring Fuel Tank

Just having placed an order for an X1 xLine 25d , found an option on the dealers screen that I hadn't noticed in the configurator . It was 1AG Touring Fuel Tank £40. Well I opted for it assuming it will increase the fuel tank capacity of the X1 from 51 litres to 60 litres. So an extra 2 gallons eh?
The dealer seemed to know very little about it. Has anyone else had this option fitted??

It is what you just said, a 10 litre upgrade basically (51L to 61L). Standard with 20i and 25d. Optional with 20d. Might be a different story outside the UK.

Really wish I could have specified this when I ordered mine in November - dealer said not possible, and it wasn't on his screen.

It was only available as standard with 20i and 25d when I placed my order last August. They added it as an option with 20d last November (around the same time M Sport was launched).

Just checked April's price list. Looks like it's also available as option with 18d. So that's the entire UK engine range. Still standard with 20i and 25d. See page 14.

Really weird all the differences among the countries. I orderd my 18d with bigger fuel tank in August 2015 and no problem.

If i really wait a long time till i have 50km's left i can fuel 55L so i really don't know where the other 6L is or BMW have build in a Large buffer

It's always been baffling with BMW.

Some I can understand have marketing reasons or have something to do with local rules and regulations (emission, tax, etc.; no 25i in the UK). But the M Sport steering wheel for example... I don't understand why we can't have it as an option here in the UK. Or sport seats and the US market... It's unnecessarily confusing and bizarre.

Well if you have 5L remaining say, that's just over a gallon which is 50 miles say, or 80 km, but the engine is 2L and will contain fuel so I'd say that's about right, you didn't expect to get 61L in a 61L tank did you at fill Up?

I've ordered the touring fuel tank, 51L is really small, all my previous cars have been 60-75L

Touring tank seems to be standard for Australian cars

It was an option for my 25D xdrive here. I opted for it and don't regret it. With diesel consumption I get approx 900-950KMS per tank, average driving...

Thanks for the responses guys. The Touring fuel tank is not standard on the 25d! I've had to pay £40 as an extra option for it!! I was assuming the tank is 61 litres but don't know for sure. I'm wondering if anyone who has ordered it can clarify its capacity?

I think whatever I get will be a revelation when I only get about 250-350 miles out of the Porsche, but to be fair I can still get 35mpg on a motorway run, which isn't bad.

Yes it's 61lt. Everytime I refill, after the reserve tank indicator has flashed, I usually put 55lt of fuel. I once refilled with 58lt.

Strange. Latest price list says it should be standard on your car. I know I definitely did not pay extra for it or request it to be added. In fact, it's not even mentioned in my purchase contract. I only found out about it when I received my VIN and checked it online. It was automatically added to my build.

Bluezed is the only other UK forum member that owns a 25d afaik. Drop him a PM and double check with him.

61L is correct (see PDF manual page 247).

I noticed from the new April 2016 pricing you uploaded that indeed you are correct! The Touring Fuel Tank should be standard on the 25d. I have rung the dealer and he says he is not able to bring it up as an option on his system without £40. I've asked him to look into this for me.

Checked mine again. It's not on the list. I didn't even know 1AG existed until I checked my VIN. Would've definitely asked for it if it was optional.

In the netherlands the larger fuel tank (61Ltr) is a option.
You pay less tax with the smaller fuel tank.

Must admit I am very jealous of your list of options mate! Wish I could afford that but as mine is a lease car I didn't want to spend too much on options!

I can see why. Yours is already £4K more expensive than mine before options. But really, a lot of those are nowadays standard on cheap non-luxury cars. Folding mirrors, headlight wash, dimming rear view mirror, reversing camera... These should be standard.

As far as I am aware I have the 51L tank but until now it never crossed my mind.
The original sales brochure dated August 2015 shows 2.5d as having 51L with no option to increase. In this brochure only the 2.0i is shown as having the 61L tank as standard.
My owners manual just shows "Fuel tank approx. 51L.........Larger fuel tank 61L" but it doesn't show specifically by model / engine?
