Calm down people!
The reviewer touched on something that bugged me about the X1 (didn't stop me from getting one) and BMW in general - the ever-increasing dimensions of their vehicles over time.
We had an X3. Nice SUV - too big for me. I wanted something smaller and faster. Then came the X1 - a LITTLE smaller and a LITTLE faster. Since I don't live in Europe, but still want a BMW with some cargo carrying capacity, that is what I am stuck with.
I have an E82 135i built on the E9X platform, just like the X1, and that is still too big as far as I am concerned. While it's great that the technology is there to make them lighter and faster while still making them bigger, I wish they would concentrate on making them smaller while being just as safe (and small and fast).
