Only thing I see the X1 missing is BSM which is ridiculous in this day and age to not even have as an option on a luxury brand.

I am actually looking at the X1 as a current replacement to S/O's Lexus RX350 whose lease is ending in a couple months. Not everybody needs an X3 etc. We don't since we have no kids therefore the X1 does make valid sense for some and while old still offers better utility than some modern competitors namely Lexus NX/UX....
I understand there are worse examples than the X1. To me it just doesn't feel anything like a BMW (balance/composure/refinement/seats/haptics/...) and I can't justify the high price they charge for it. When it would have been 10-15% less expensive, i would dig it. BTW, an X2 M35i with a bit of kit is +60k€ over here! For 65k€ you have a M340i. Don't have to tell you that is another vehicle all together?

BTW, just looked at the 128ti, which is more than the 330i... I mean, are those guys for real at Munich!?
