Thanks again for those replies, everyone. Much appreciated. We'd be getting the X1 for my wife, and she's pretty excited about it. I have to admit her '05 X3 is probably the nicest vehicle I've ever been able to regularily drive as well, it's just been a stellar vehicle all around. So we're both hoping the X1 is just as nice. We both like that they're smaller, and have better gas mileage. We're going to test-drive the one in question on Friday. and I'll update my thread with those results.
