The BMW iX1 and the Mini Countryman SE are closely related, sharing a 64.7 kWh usable pack from a 66.5 kWh gross battery. What they do not share is the warranty distance.
BMW covers the iX1 for 8 years or 160,000 km. Mini caps the Countryman at 100,000 km — 60,000 km less, on the same corporate platform and the same battery. Neither publishes a capacity percentage; both use the undefined phrase "excessive capacity loss".
If you are cross-shopping those two cars, that is a material difference nobody will point out to you.
The packs Australia got
| Variant | Years | Usable kWh | Claimed range | Real-world consumption |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| eDrive20 | 2024–2026 | 64.7 (66.5 gross) | 475 km | 16.6 kWh/100km — modelled |
| xDrive30 | 2023–2026 | 64.7 (66.5 gross) | 440 km | No reliable figure available |
We have left the xDrive30's consumption blank rather than publish a figure we could not verify. The eDrive20 at a modelled 16.6 kWh/100 km gives roughly 390 km real-world against a 475 km claim.
What to check before you buy
First registration on or after 1 November 2022, which determines whether BMW's current terms apply
Measured State of Health and cell voltage spread — with no published threshold, an independent dated measurement is evidence as much as information
Odometer against 160,000 km
DC fast-charge history

Capacity data verified 13 September 2026. Consumption figure marked "modelled" is an EV Database estimate. The xDrive30 figure is omitted because no figure we could source was credible.
