I'm one of those old guys, too (63).
I was about to get my wife a woman's car.
I was looking at Volvo XC60, and noticed the X1 was higher rated , and cost less.
She immediately bit, saying she wanted to be a Bimmer girl.
Apparently anytime she had brought up BMW, I nixed it because I was on to Mazda or other low maintenance Japanese cars.
I'd talked up how costly BMW was for service, and deqaler, etc.
Anyway, we got a strippo X1 s28i with only M Sport and Mineral white paint.
She had no preferences as she had no idea about things like the Xenon lighting, etc.
Wow, this is the best car I've ever known, and she always looks for other BMW's, but mostly finds X3's and X5's.
The dealers in Texas won't budge on MSRP, but we got ours in Munich on Euro delivery for 7% off, so I don't feel it was expensive.
The gas mileage is extremely good for the power it puts down, it's smooth as glass, and it runs like a scalded cat.
