"For the average driver, it's perfect, but for the enthusiast, it's a bit of a letdown. Winding out the inline-six made the X1 nearly as fun to drive as a lower-trim 3 Series."
IMO, that is nothing more than the kind of nonsense opinion automotive journalists write to stir up controversy and sell more magazines.
The new engine accelerates quicker, uses less gas and is more tractable. What's not to like about it? My last car before the 135i was a G35 Coupe. It had a cool exhaust note, but it sounded like it was going to blow up when it was run through the gears hard. The N55 totally blows it away and does it without making a lot of noise. Give me a turbo any day.
