If we were to replace our x1 it'll be either an x5 ( wife likes; me not so much) or a 328i Touring wagon. Probably compromised and end up in a x3. But at the point I might as well get the excellent Mazda CX-5.

A very close friend of mine has a Mazda CX5.
The engine is weak and lacks the energy to move that car as you are used to. The chassis has lots to learn from the old E84.
BMWs 28i has 2 litre engine and 241 HP, even more than the new F48.
Mazda has a 2.5 litre engine that makes 187 HP.
All you nee to do is to jump from your X1 into the Mazda, take the test drive and drive your old guy home. You will love your X1 more.
You will be better of with the M35 X2.
I am in a similar dilema as the new X1 is terrible and the X2 interior sucks compared with old X1.
If they will make the E84 new, I will buy it now, on the spot.
I will buy the X2 as I like the exterior, but expect better materials and luxury interior as right now leaves much to be desired.
