One interesting point that the review makes it that it's the cheapest BMW on the market, which means it's probably going to sell relatively more, which means there may become a surplus, and thus low second-hand values.
It may also attract a lot of buyers who otherwise wouldn't buy BMW, and who don't buy it to drive it like a BMW, but to be seen driving one. For sedate values of "driving", that is, like 0-60 in 2 minutes, being allergic to acceleration. Drives with fog lights on to be noticed even more. Has "family" stickers in the rear window. Brakes for leaves. You know the type.
I hope I am wrong, and that I won't get to hate my fellow X1 drivers. Ah well, at least it might mean more and better 3rd party supplies for it.
