How come the 3 series wagon has the large side mirrors?
I would speculate that the smaller X1 mirrors are for cost savings? I don't like the smaller mirrors vs. the e91 and most older BMW's. The integrated turn signal is cool, but the smaller mirror area isn't.

X1 is nimble but slightly top heavy vs. e91.

X1 2.8 has decent performance and I was very impressed when punching it to pass a "grey hair" putting along in the tan Avalon. I have the BMW Perf. intake and exhaust on the e91 and the straight 6 sound is beautiful...not much on the 4 banger turbo. (waiting for Supersprint to release their axle-back)

X1 is sort of an all-road hatchback. The x35 must be an absolute screamer!
