I dont think the X1 is a sleeper car because it still hasnt gained prominence yet. Id say its still relatively new and unknown.
I think BMW has too many vehicles with an Xn name where n={1, 3, 5, 6, etc.} so its just another X car.

You Americans must apply a different definition to us Aussies. "Sleeper" in Australia would be any car that has more performance that the average person would expect. Nothing to do with popularity. A VW R36 is a great example; looks like a family wagon, but will rip the doors off most things in its price range.
Based on that, a high spec X1 could be a contender for the label...
