I don't understand what you are saying one is a crossover and one is an SUV. They are both crossovers. One is built on the 3 series frame and one is built on the 1 series frame which is essentually a shortened 3 series frame. They are only about $4,000 apart (base model in the US) and will have the same engines next year. X3 will drop the 3.0 NA for 2.0 Turbo. The X1 is about 300 pounds lighter. They both seat 5 although 3 get crambed in the backseat. Conversely the X3 will be cutting into X5 sales if they can produce enough of them and it's already happening.
