Most SUV buyers are looking for practicality, tech & kit which im guessing the new model has plenty of. Personally I'll stick with my F30 6 pot rocket as I don't think I'll ever be in the market for an SUV! I'd have thought the 3 series tourer was the best bet for those seeking more space & practicality AND sporty RWD drive
I think that the whole touring chassis makes the E84 Unique by not being a proper SUV'
I am not trying to bash the new X1, however, that is not a proper BMW and don't see it as one. Sorry.
I don't know about "Experienced Experts" but I think that the owners can see a vehicle better.
