I wouldn't buy another X1 because the one I have is the last rear wheel drive and I'm willing to keep it forever. I'm sticking with BMW (third one at the moment) because the ease of diagnostic, widely available software and repair manuals, highly customizable. To not forget the free maintenance during the warranty period.
Your point about this being the last RWD X1 is well considered. To my knowledge this is the only compact SUV available with RWD and for me it was a significant selling point. The X1 in its current iteration is the only game in town.
