Hi all, I just sold my 320i(E90) yesterday.
I found the E90 offer more leg room in the back seat but overall you feel more airy inside X1. The E90 has big boot, I can put my golf bag together with the buggy straight into the boot. With the X1, I have to remove the wheels of the buggy in order to squeeze it in.
The E90 use more soft plastic (they came off after a few year) inside and make it look more classy. The angle of the head rest of X1 cannot even be changed.
The handling is very similar, X1 to me is lighter on the steering, my 320i use 225/45/17, X1 use 225/24/18.The X1 handle bumps a lot better, more comfortable when goes over humps and bumps.
The X1 looks younger and more functional. E90 is a bit conservative. But in a few year time I think I will buy a next gen. 3 series and keep the X1 as the second car.
These small BMW are so good to drive.
So far I am very happy with the X1.
