The major car journals describe the current X1 as a night & day improvement over the old car which, despite being built on an e90 chassis, apparently did NOT drive much like an e90
What you say isn’t true either. The biggest complaint of the E84 is useless back seat for adults. The only advantage of the new X1 is a lot more space, better electronics but driving dynamics no way. Much taller and front wheel drive, Car and Driver says F48 compared to E84 performance loss and front wheel drive gremlins. All the improvenments are in packaging and interior.
