yes, that's nice but what say you regarding the 3 series.....not on 10 Best list. Paradoxical is right when he alludes to BMW is not building cars for purists thses days. its 60% luxury/practicality and 40% performance. New X1 has no 6cyl, no hydraulic steering for superior road feel, no rear biased AWD, no low center of gravity. These are not what the brands new customer base value now. these things are important to purist performance customer but not the majority of BMW's customers
