It has more in common with the 3-series touring wagon than any other BMW. And pray tell which 1-series car that has interchangable suspension parts with an X1 35i M-sport?

The M55 engine is the same as used in many models, including the 335i and X6 xDrive 35i, so that point is rather moot. If anything, it was used in the 535i GT first. Does that make the 135i or X1 a 5-series or a GT? Hell, no.
