And I think that's the problem - the roadmap for the X1 precludes a future performance version. They seem intent on making it into a grocery getter.

Yes, I might be tempted to buy an X1 M if it came out, but I doubt it will.
I would be even more tempted to buy an X1 Rally version, because I think that's where this car excels the most, but that's even less likely. BMW just hasn't been too interested in rally since the days of overbite M3s, and that's a shame.
