I agree with MJE60 as I sat side by side in an X3 and an X1 before buying the X1. Although I could afford the higher X3 price, I decided on the X1 for my needs without spending more. After 2 years, I am still satisfied with my decision, despite various minor gripes.
Most importantly, people should sit in and test drive cars (including family and pets) before buying. You can also rent one before spending your hard-earned $$$ for years to come. If you discover gripes (a common one is no blind spot detection), then spend the extra money to be happy.
