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!?

Maybe the market where you are is different than in America, but here it makes 0 sense to purchase an entry-mid level X3 over an X1. You can get a 2021 X1 M Sport for $32k where the X3 would cost you 43k - 47k for essentially the same vehicle, size, engine, etc.
The only downfall of the X1 is the FWD, I don't find the interior that off putting as it's nicer than most 3 Series.
Also not everyone wants the size of a X5, X7.
