The X1's ride with 18" wheels and EDC is very comfortable. Before I purchased, I experienced test drives in X1s with 19" wheels and found the ride harsh. However, BMW made suspension adjustments to the EDC-equipped X1 from Jan 2016, and the ride in these cars is reported much better.
Tyres are also a factor. I was pleasantly surprised by the Pirelli P7 RFTs on our car. Previous experience in BMWs with Bridgestone RFTs (very hard sidewalls) made me concerned, but the Pirelli seem fine for ride....and handling.
And, yes, I use the firmer Sport EDC setting quite frequently -- it's no sports car but makes the X1 much nicer to punt along through the corners.
