I keep reading comments like this on bimmerpost and it just ain't true, at least according to ALL road test reviews I've ever read! Admittedly I've not driven either but just because it was a RWD based chassis does not mean it drove better!! 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  |
Having owned an E84 35i and driven an E48, the only conceivable advantage of the new one is interior volume. An awful thing to drive though, if that's important.
