It is very romantic story but doesn't make sense. Especially when you look at the marketing photos. It is almost marketed as rich parents willing to give a gift to their 18 year old as high school graduation. They don't wanna spend as much, yet want a classy one to complement dads M6.

The difference between x3 and x1 looks so subtle. I hope I am wrong after I see the dimensions, from pics it looks as big as x3 to me.
