The LCI-ed E90 is certainly nicer. I drove the e91 when looking for a wagon. Love it! But good specimens are hard to find. X1 is like an e91 but with modern drive train and interior. It serves a great purpose as our family hauler. For the day to day driving routines, I didn't find the X1 less sporting than the e91.
If you don't need space I'd get a 335i coupe and mod the heck out of it. Then again I think a modded 135i would quite the hoot. Then again a Miata would be funner in legal speeds. And that would be my take. Keep the X1 for sporting practicality and add a dedicated RWD sportster for real smiles.
