And it's hilariously naive for him to think that FWD are all dull. Obviously never driven a MINI. Hell that car is more fun than a majority of the RWD cars in BMW's current lineup.

Right, if I get lucky I will drive one day a Koenigsegg and a Mini.
If you talk about Mini, yes it is fun but even the amateur eye can acknowledge that between the body of a Mini and an X1 there is some difference. One is a "MINI" car, the other is a taller SAV.
Every little car that respect a such recipe will be fun, and it was very well done way before Mini showed up; ever drove a Renault 5?
While the FWD will do just fine on a such car, on X1 it will be different to accomplish a similar behaviour. Total different body (carozzeria).
I hope that you refer to Mini not Countryman which already proves my point and drives... no words for it.
I do own a V6 Sport Coupe with a lot HP on the front wheel, and all I can say is that is not as fun as the little X1 with a four banger on Xdrive.
I also owned in Europe A LOT of FWD cars including the Megane Sport; RWD is different. To achieve a similar behaviour you need to practically scale a such car and call it X1, but is not the case.
Again, as a whole package I find that the old one is a better performer, from more power, to a real Xdrive system.
