Just got mine
I've got no regrets with my sDrive28i, but then I'm still in the lust stage.
For the last 15 years I've driven diesel trucks; the last 8 of those in a 05 Ford Excursion Ltd 4wd. A very big change to the X1: 5' shorter in length, 1' shorter in heigth, and 4,400 lbs lighter. No need to discuss turning radius because the Excursion just really didn't have any. Acceleration was leisurely in the Ex, and left in a cloud of smoke. I pulled a 34' Airstream behind the trucks, and it dressed out at 9,800 lbs, so I needed the power and torque the diesel gave me.
The X1 is such a thrilling change in transportation for me that I'm enjoying every aspect of it. In Texas, I couldn't find a dealer within a 500 mile radius of me that had an X1 with the cold weather package - something I really wanted. The local dealer got one with heated seats, so that's my new car. I love the tremendous, to me, mpg's in town and on the road. It's responsiveness is a true joy. Many years ago I had a new Nissan 300Z with twin turbos, and the X1 has brought back many good memories.
I'm looking forward to many years of driving with this car.
