Besides that and option/package reshuffling, are there any other differences of note? Ie. cosmetic changes/drivetrain updates? I can’t really tell just from pictures if there are any. Thanks.
I found the E84 much nicer to drive, hydraulic steering etc, feels more like a "BMW". The F48 (newer X1's) I found drove more like a mini-SUV, less like a car. I understand that was their goal, make it a little taller/bigger, more of a focus on "Space" rather than "Driving"
So from a pure driving perspective, personally yes I much prefer the 2013 E84 over the 2014/2015/2016 models. (I haven't drive models later than that)
