Engines vary, perhaps you got an especially poor X1 35i example and own a particularly strong E92. Also new engine and software vs broken in. In any case I personally don't find my 35i sluggish or rough (all paddle shifting) despite the fact that I came from and still have an M3 (not to mention other higher HP cars). After a month or so still finding it a well sorted, practical and enjoyable ride. Hopefully you can have some better seat time in one in different conditions but of course opinions differ in any case
Seriously considered the XC60 (and X3) but that higher bigger numb steering SUV experience lost out to the more fun X1
