I love my 2015 xDrive28i Msport but think this new model is a major step up on the interior and a bit better looking on the exterior. Driving dynamics are still TBD but I think we all know that it will likely not be quite as good given the FWD architecture and the worse AWD system.
I must say that I am pleased in that it doesn't look totally different (on the exterior) so as to instantly age our X1s. That is a plus in my mind. People on this board can easily spot the exterior differences but I think most people couldn't. Especially if you have an Msport with 19 inch wheels like I do.
