No, in the states. I think the base 320i is. It has a detuned N20 4cyl engine.

The X1 is cheaper by $2,050 in the US, $30,900 vs $32,950.

So I guess X1 is really the cheapest afterall..

I guess that makes it a pretty good deal, considering it is a SAV too.

I stand corrected. X1 is the cheapest. Not a bad deal considering what you get. Plus unlike 320i, the engine in the X1 is not detuned.

X1 is a great buy right now. Well below the wagon starting price and you can get a great deal on one, $500 over invoice or better.

And that the x1 receives a split folding rear seat standard while its a $450 option on the 320i

I expect more content at the same or lower price. The new GLA and "new to the US" Q3 offer more standard features for similar prices.

I agree. I did compare GLA and Q3 with the x1.

Even tho the base price is around the same, but assuming when they are all fully loaded, X1 is a lot more than GLA/Q3.

I can't believe BMW didnt make some of the most obvious things 'standard' - like the technology package screen. I would've never thought I need to pay $2500 for a non-touchable screen, with outdated software.

You have to remember, the X1 is based off of the outgoing 3 series chassis. That means all of the technology in the car is old. The F48 I'm sure will have much more tech as standard equipment.

I configured a GLA last night - for fun. While, yes, it's modern/new compared to the X1, it does get more pricey when you load it up. The equivalent to my 42k (msrp) X1 soared into the mid-40s. So I think Mercedes plays the same game with over-priced options. Nice looking car - also FWD based like the future X1.

Yeah, I am sure the next generation X1 will catch up on all these features that put them behind now.

However, the F48 wouldnt be out till early 2016 (on sales floor) based on what I heard from you guys?

Doubtful, it should be released with the rest of the 2017 MY line up if it is a 2017 model.

You know that BMW isn't just operating in the US?
Here in Europe the 1, 2 and 3 series are cheaper than the X1

The new F48 should be out around the 3Q of 2015. Thats why the E84 MY2015 was released in March of this year. A short lived MY for the 2015, means the all new F48 2016 should be ready to order by June of 2015 and deliveries by the 3Q

SERIOUSLY? Do you just mean base (starting/bare) price? I'm kind of shocked the 3-series would be offered for less than the X1.

I don't think 3 serie base pricing is cheaper then X1. (Proof me wrong)
For a fully loaded X1 you got the cheapest 5 however. (Back in the day's anyway, every year they make the gaps bigger.)

In Europe we got the 114i and a Mini is a Beemer as well.

In the Asian market, a fully loaded X1 28i XDrive Xline is priced 20-30% higher than a loaded F30 328i, which is priced at the same level as of a X1 20i. There are a even cheaper version of the X1 18i. Because it really has entered the U.S. market as an outgoing model, I think the price was intentionally dropped to have it fit below the X3. It is "old", but the engine and transmission are up to date. The taillights, especially, uses the newer style LED rather than older E series taillights. It is priced lower than a base 320i, but most 320i I saw leaving the dealership are kinda stripped with options and packages, while most X1s are sold well loaded. I found that dealers are also less willing to drop the price on a X1 compared to a 320i or 328i if you try to negotiate the price down. Perhaps the profit margin on a base X1 is lower, so most dealer ordered X1 are well optioned to bring up the profit margin.

3 series = 33k/35k for touring
X1 = 38k
Both are starting prices
But the 3 series does have less powerfull versions, 316i vs 20i on the X1
