Mate it's got nothing to do with trolling. All the points made are good points and people can clearly justify why they bought one which is good.

I also understand the American market is different to the European and Australian markets where my 135 with toys cost $100,000. I'd love an M3 but $180,000+ is too expensive, so I compromised, and I get that. Performance, tick, handling, tick, space, compromise. 2 out of 3.

Doesn't change my opinion of the X1 though, it gets 0 out of 3. And in Australia they've only sold 6,000 since they launched it in 2009 so it's not exactly popular.

If the M135 was widely available in the US that's probably what you would buy instead but that would trash the X1 range and BMW aren't that stupid.
