They have the same engine don't they?

As far as I know new 520d's have single turbo 184hp engine. For the comparison purposes, I got a 320d replacement car from the dealer and it was accelerating far more better than the X1 20d after 160-180 km/h. Easily reaches 240 km/h in highway. On the other hand, X1 rides much more stabile than the 320d in high speeds. 320d was skidding more when the road was bumpy and it was 180+.
Not a 5 series / X1 comparison but thought it might be helpful
