From 2011 328xi to 2012 X1 .. opinions ?

We are thinking of changing from our 2011 328xi Coupe to a 2012 X1...
My wife thinks that would be a better vehicle for her year-round.
She is NOT enjoying the stiff (to her) ride/handling of the 328.
Anyone have any experience with the new X1 vs. the 328xi ?

The X1 is an easier drive - driven a few E9x and the X rides better - prob tyre profile more than anything else. It is miles more practical and dont let the badge fool you it is not a 1 series!

Test-drive it though as some people find the x1 quite heavy to steer. I got used to it, however could be an issue
