I don’t consider cars investments to begin with but I also don’t think I would take financial advice from an entry level position.
They may be right, but it’s doubtful there is even enough data for that, there might be 200 of these things on the road right now? |

I really laugh at the comments that the X1/X2 are a mini underneath. This is no more valid than saying a Porsche Cayanne is an Audi Q7 or a Volkswagen Toureg. Platform sharing is the reason why there is more choice in the market now than there ever has been before. I can't help but wonder what cars on the market are not based on a shared platform. Probably very few. |

I was just about to post that one! A very positive review from an m2 and sq2 owner.

For BMW, the number of cars sold in a year defines success.
Although I will not buy X2, others will. It's an appealing vehicle. |

We got a white x2 m35i on lease 2 months ago, and about 8-9k off sticker. It's really a great car imo. Fills a niche not many people are asking for but it's a very special feeling hatch/wagon. the $500 red sports seats option is a must and the engine sounds great. I would drive it everyday instead of my M3 CS if it was mine lol.

Wow this is well overpriced in the UK. See Tony's website says £4K down and £450 a month over 4 years before options !! And you get stung on the luxury car tax at £320 pa.

Had the X2 as a loaner for my E84 X1 xDrive35i. Have also owned a 2016 GTI. The X2 was very sad in every aspect other than looks. Both the GTI and the E84 kill it in driving dynamics, steering feel, ergos, etc. I realize that it wasn't the M35i guise, but you can't put lipstick on a pig and call it a supermodel.

There is still hope. Go test drive the new X3 M40i. Much better, although still somewhat lacking in steering feel it makes up for it in other areas.

Active sound is completely ludicrous in the M40. It literally sounds like someone is tied up in the trunk and banging on the hatch when the exhaust pops and cracks.
I've only driven a base X2 once or twice briefly so I didn't get a good feel but so far, I've enjoyed the first couple of hundred miles in the M35...then I get in my M2 and really appreciate my life.
