Mind you, the OEM Nexen 'dtich finder' tyres my X1 came from the factory with probably don't help either!

Sounds like the same issues I have with my A3, it’s just down to the amount of power through the front wheels.
It’s so annoying, put your foot down then you just get banging from the front end squabbling for grip.
Poor form if BMW are putting ditch finders on a 40K plus car.
The Bridgestone’s are just about ok on the A3.
My Mrs 1 series has Michelins on and they are very good, I’m guessing same 1500L engine that you describe in your X1, hopefully her 2 series GC comes with the same.
