Pretty good review...
It seems the US reviews are a bit more positive than the UK reviews. A lot of the UK reviews state that they don't know where this car fits in; and I get it. They have a lot more wagons to choose from. Us Yanks don't. And while the new F series is a great performer, a lot of journalist feel that the E90 platform was the best. Look, if BMW brought of the 1 Series hatch, I'd be all over it. In fact, I've been waiting for a long time. It's not going to happen because our market doesn't demand or justify such a car. I think journalist are comparing the wrong car to be honest. It shouldn't be compared to the X series; the X1 should be compared to the new 3-wagon. That will be interesting to see. |

And BMW already has the corner on the Premium hatchback section in the USA : MINI They'd be undercutting themselves by bringing in the 1 series hatch. It is a shame from an enthusiast standpoint, but quite a smart business decision. |

I ordered the 35i with the notion that the n55 with a tune and down pipe , exaust and lowered will b a rocket ship. Have a friend with a x5 m and he kicks the m3's on the track. I think the x1 could be a very nice track car for the weekends. I know there is not a tune for the x1 yet, but hopefully it will come soon. I know this will be faster than my 2002, I just hope it will as fun to drive.
