The $50,000ish (Australian) price tag may see it getting into my budget in about a year or so time when we see more pre-owned models. I'm just wondering, has anyone had the chance to compare the X1 to the 3 series? And what did you think?
I chose the X1 over the 3-series estate for a number of reasons:

1. I like the looks, its fresher than the 3-series. Also there is a new 3 coming out in 2011 and I did not want to wait.
2. I need a small 4x4 and BMW do not sell the 3 series iX range here.
3. Like for like the X1 is about 10% cheaper here.
4. Its slightly bigger inside than the 3.
