The BMW X1 (3 generations, 2012–2026) window sticker (Monroney label) lists its original factory MSRP, the 3.0L, 6-cyl, Premium fuel, All-Wheel Drive build, standard and optional equipment, EPA fuel economy (up to 28 mpg combined) and NHTSA safety ratings. ForCar recreates it from the VIN using official NHTSA data — free.
The BMW X1 window sticker — build, options & years
The BMW X1 ran from 2012–2026 across 3 generations (2012–2014, 2017–2020, 2023). Its Monroney label captures exactly how each one left the factory — the build, the options it was optioned with and the price, built around the 3.0L, 6-cyl, Premium fuel, All-Wheel Drive powertrain.
Which year's sticker do I need? Any BMW X1 VIN works — ForCar reads the exact model year automatically. On owner data the cleanest years are 2012, 2013, 2014; the most-complained-about are 2016, 2017, 2023. For year-by-year recalls, MPG and safety, see the full BMW X1 VIN decoder.
What the BMW X1 sticker says about fuel
Fuel economy is a legally required block on every Monroney label — city, highway and combined figures plus the estimated annual fuel bill. These are the EPA numbers on file for the X1, latest tested year 2026:
The label also prints an estimated $2,750 a year in fuel at 15,000 miles, and 343 g/mi of CO₂. EPA files the X1 under Small Sport Utility Vehicle 4WD, which is the class it gets compared against on the sticker.
How the X1's sticker figure changed
Combined MPG printed on the label, model year by model year — 2013 to 2026. Useful when you're comparing an older sticker with a newer one:
Over that span the combined figure rose by 4 mpg, so an early sticker and a recent one describe noticeably different cars. EPA revised its testing method in 2008, which shifts figures printed before and after that year.
Safety ratings printed on the label
The second required block: NHTSA's five-star crash results. This is what the X1 sticker carries as of its 2026 rating:
Stars are awarded per test, so a car can hold five overall and fewer for rollover — tall vehicles usually give ground there. Compare against every rated model in the safest cars ranking.
The sticker price then — the market price now
A Monroney label freezes the price on the day the car left the factory. What it's worth today is a different number, and this is it: median asking price of the X1 by model year, from 358 live US listings:
| Model year | Median asking price | Sample |
|---|---|---|
| 2021 | 23 listings | |
| 2020 | 15 listings | |
| 2019 | 9 listings | |
| 2018 | 79 listings | |
| 2017 | 56 listings | |
| 2016 | 32 listings | |
| 2015 | 47 listings | |
| 2014 | 71 listings | |
| 2013 | 26 listings |
A 2021 X1 asks a median $16,995 today, a 2013 about $5,900. Full breakdown on the BMW X1 value page.
What's on the BMW X1 sticker
Every Monroney label carries the same required blocks: MSRP with itemised options, EPA fuel economy — for this car 28 mpg combined, NHTSA safety ratings — 4 stars overall here, standard and optional equipment, and parts-content origin. ForCar rebuilds the label from the VIN, so it comes back with that car's exact build rather than a generic spec.

What is a window sticker (Monroney label)?
The Monroney sticker is the label legally required on every new US vehicle — MSRP, standard and optional equipment with prices, EPA fuel economy, safety ratings and warranty.
Can I get a window sticker by VIN for free?
Yes — enter the VIN and ForCar recreates the build (equipment, MPG, safety) from NHTSA's public database, free with no signup.
Is this the same as CarEdge or Monroney.com?
Like those sites, ForCar recreates the original window sticker from the VIN for free — equipment, EPA MPG and safety from official NHTSA and EPA data, plus a built-in editor to add pricing and options.
Is the recreated sticker the same as the original?
It rebuilds the factory equipment, EPA MPG and safety from official data. Exact dealer-added pricing may differ, but the core Monroney content matches.
Where do I find the VIN?
Lower-left of the windshield, the driver's door-jamb sticker, or your registration and insurance documents.
What's the difference between a window sticker and a build sheet?
The window sticker (Monroney label) is the consumer-facing label with MSRP, equipment, MPG and safety. A build sheet is the factory's internal spec list — option codes, paint code and assembly details. ForCar's VIN lookup pulls both.
Can I get a window sticker for a used or older car?
Yes. ForCar rebuilds the original window sticker for used and older vehicles from the VIN. Coverage runs back to about 1981, when the 17-character VIN became standard; most cars from the 1990s on have full data.
I lost my window sticker — can I get a copy?
Yes. Enter the VIN, view the recreated Monroney label and use Print / Save as PDF to keep a copy for your records, an insurance claim or a sale. There's no need to contact the dealer or manufacturer.
Why might the recreated MSRP differ from the original?
The factory equipment, EPA MPG and safety match the original. Dealer-added options, regional packages and destination charges can vary, so the exact total may differ slightly from the printed sticker.
