Buying a BMW X1 at BMW of Napa Valley
Where is BMW of Napa Valley?
On Auto Mall Parkway in Fairfield, at 2399 Auto Mall Pkwy, straight off Interstate 80. That puts us within an easy drive of Napa, Vacaville, Vallejo, Suisun City and American Canyon.
Can I schedule a test drive in both X1 models?
Yes, and on the X1 it is worth doing. The two cars share an engine block and a torque figure and feel different from the driver's seat. Schedule a test drive here.
Can I get pre-approved before I come in?
Yes. Apply for financing online and bring the approval with you.
Will you value my trade before I visit?
Yes. Value your trade online and we will confirm it against the car when you arrive.
Can I order an X1 built exactly the way I want?
Yes. Factory orders take longer than buying from stock, and they make the most sense on the M35i, where the M Compound brakes, the 20-inch M wheel and the M Sport seats are worth specifying yourself.
Do you service the X1 as well as sell it?
Yes, on the same site. BMW-trained technicians and Original BMW Parts, which carry a 2-year unlimited-mileage limited warranty. Schedule service.
Is there a pre-owned X1 option?
Often. Pre-owned and BMW Certified Pre-Owned X1s appear in our pre-owned inventory alongside the new cars.

We wrote that up: the first year with a BMW X1 in Solano County covers the commute, the valley runs and the service calls, month by month.
How do I decide between the X1 and a competitor?
We built the comparisons: X1 vs Audi Q3 and X1 vs Mercedes-Benz GLA, both against published figures.
