I'd still be very happy to own the OP's car and hope the next gen x1 has more available engine choices for the US. Its a great ride and certainly a nice upgrade over the F21. Although I'm still a F21 fan but with a better engine.
I've got to admit the F21 is a fantastic looking car! I was in desperate need of a better motor though

Here is South Africa we've only got the option of the 135kW (181hp) two litre diesel. As for petrol models we've got the option of the naturally aspirated 18i and then the TwinPower 20i and 28i. Unfortunately we don't get the six cylinder 35i here in the X1
