That is my gut feeling as well. But, trying to make a decision based on what i can read online (since they don't stock this particular X1 model) is hard, which is why i ask people for their opinion. And, you know, all reviews out there are for the 2.0 turbo engine. Thanks for chiming in!

Yes...i can certainly make an informed decision on the material quality, practicality, that sort of thing...just not the engine...hence my question goes straight in that direction.

Especially if you have budget for luxury features like the panoramic sunroof and Harman Kardon, it'll probably blow you away relative to what you've got today. I would recommend two more options though: M-Sport steering wheel, as this is your constant contact point with the car and it feels/looks so much nicer, and sports seats, as they do a nice job of 'enveloping' you which the standard ones don't (they are more bench-like).
Thanks again for your kind advice...Appreciate it!
