... as well as an 80:20 rear:front bias and Performance Control, which dynamically brakes the inner rear wheel when cornering. A very different car from the X-Line 28i.

It's not an M car, but then again, a maxed out X1 35i M-Sport costs 50% less than the most basic M3. Of course you get less for less money - is that a surprise to some?
The OP comes across as "I tried an Isetta, and didn't like it compared to my AMG, so BMWs are not as good as Mercedes".
