The turbo 4 in the X1 will hit 6.1 second 0-60 with a manual and 6.5 with an automatic. The X3 with the 3.0 hits 6.7 seconds and no manual offered. One major point for ever wanting the turbo 4 is the gas milage. We won't see the EPA ratings for quite some time but I have to believe it will get 21 city and 30 on the highway. My previous 2007 X3 with the 3.0 was rated 17 city and 24 highway but I never got over 22.5 on the highway ever and got about 18 around town. The new X3 with the 3.0 is not much better and in fact is rated less than the turbo 6.
As for BMW not making a smooth 4 cylinder turbo I'm am very impressed with my Clubman S. That little 1.6 liter turbo 4 is smooth as hell and will flat run all day.
