I'm 95% happy with my X1. Second and third gear are plenty powerful. The top of third gear at WOT actually makes you a bit uneasy that you're going that fast. A little bit like a roller coaster. I just want that in First, and I think A tune will give me that.
I'm just scared of the JB4. I don't want to mod my x1 a lot. Maybe I'll find used msport suspension and through those on, and maybe some visual things, but otherwise, I'm good.
Too bad the Jb4 doesn't have a more conservative tune option, for those of us who maybe only want 40 more hp, and 50-60ft/lbs more, instead of 60 and `100ft\lbs.
I'm a bit scared to push the car to the ragged hairy edge. Just want a little more.

Well you could try starting with the Dinan Sport or JB+ instead. I'm very happy so far with the Dinan on my x28i.
The Dinan Sport thread is here:

I swore there was a post for the JB+ in the X1 forum but it seems to have disappeared, so here is the one in the 2 forum:
