Anyway, with the transverse engine, any new performance X1 will have to have a high-output 4 anyway.

Yes, it was the E84's identity crisis (is it a wagon, suv), uniqueness, power (6cy trim), road feel, and fun that drew me to the vehicle. I do plan to test drive the new one, but my expectations are low (from a performance enthusiast's perspective). I think the X2 will have a hi-po 4 cyl.
