This X2 supposed to be a good looking Evoque fighter and we ended up with a crapy design with badges, hood lines and terrible cheap looking plastic all over.
What a dissapointment...  |
Interesting what you're saying because CAR magazine (THE authority on cars) say the new X1 is a night & day improvement over the extremely mediocre E84!! I've not driven either, but I certainly think the mkII is the better looking car! And from the road tests I've read it's apparently not bad to drive either, despite the FWD platform!! Amazingly different opinions going on!
Regarding the seats, all BMW seats are crap if you don't spec sports seats!!
