I'd most certainly go all in with the bigger motor base line with the 323 wheels for that kind of X1 $, mpg diff will not be as huge as the EPA will lead one to believe. And you get xenons, fineline wood, roof, better brakes, way better soundtrack and a more proven (and potent) powertrain as standard kit. The N20 doesn't seem too bulletproof so far, 8sp also bit of question mark imm if I were looking at long term ownership. Priced it up with all your stuff for 46,3. I like straight black interior with the light wood- think it looks fantastic. It is annoying you can't get the light wood with the sport, but you can w/Msport. 2 reasons I oppose Msport in this car- overfat and squishy steering wheel and on busted up roads I don't want 19" run flats w/sport suspension. Its still not a sports car, you may as well roll along in some comfort.
