I've had my car for 10 weeks and I find that it is just a magnificent car for touring in fact I've done 10,000 km in this time, just a tad more than your wife.

Enjoy both your cars.
I agree, still waiting for my X1 but I don't think it sounds like the other diesels I have test driven (Audi Q5, VW Tiguan). It actually sounds a bit like my 2.0l Golf, same type of growl. Just my opinion though.
