Perhaps you've never seen the two vehicles side by side.
If you'd rather have an E90 3 series instead of the current X1 then that's what you should drive. That's why car companies make different vehicles. We also had an E90 3 series sedan. It was a great car but the X1 offers more utility with the hatchback, the roof rails and the extra ground clearance for the snow.

I was only comparing them on paper. The specs seem to indicate the X1 is larger and heavier:

For the record, I wrote that I'd rather have an E90 3 series than the current [3 series]. Obviously, I just bought an 2015 X1 because that's what I wanted lol. Thanks for letting me know that I can buy what I want though...
