I'm not a long term BMW driver. I'm coming over from a Honda CR-V. I test drove both a 2009 3 series wagon and the RWD X1 without Servotronic. The steering in the wagon was heavier than the X1. I mentioned that and the CA said he thought the X1 steering was lighter than the 3 series and "More Japanese". I found it acceptable given my Honda background and did not order Servotronic on my car. I'll be interested to see if I still feel that way after my car arrives and I get to drive it a bit.
