Yes, the Z3 M Coupe. The ideal car for us would have probably been an E91 335i, but since that never came to the US, the X1 worked out well. I think we'd both have preferred a five door M135i, but the odds of that actually coming to the US are nearly zil.

Unfortunately, I think the X1 is a bit of a gateway drug for my wife, as she clearly sees it as an SUV and wouldn't mind the X4 next. The X1 is at least a car like drive, while the X3's we drove felt a bit too big and ponderous for my taste. But it's her car, if she enjoys it, that's what counts.
