The car in general is reliable. Actually, sans the WP, the N55/E90 is a pretty darn solid car. While I support buying a cheap, fun driver like the Mini S...don't do it for fear of driving the X1. #1, the X1 is the more reliable car, #2, the X1 isn't fun enough to justify it being anything but the daily.

The better call is buying a Miata, etc. to serve as a fill-in should the X1 be in need of love.
I'm looking at Miata's (and used Z4's) too, I just need something under 10k to drive to work to help the X1 last longer. At this rate, it would have 120-130k miles on it before I even have it paid off - Not ideal.
