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.

On the contrary, owners will be heavily biased towards what they own and BMW fanboys are quick to dismiss anything not RWD based. Outsiders are able to form a more objective opinion about the vehicle.

Ignoring the badge, the F48 is easily the best vehicle in its class. Only BMW faithful say it's a shit car for no other reason than because it's a FWD-based BMW and that's sacrilege. Yes the E84 may out-handle it and may be the better "car" or "wagon", but the F48 is the better compact crossover.
