The seats in the E84 are larger and offer a good leg support on long trips; not the case on the F48. I know them very very well. Did I mention that the E84 had over 20 more HP ?

I'm on to my 3rd X1, I started with the E84 and now have my 2nd F48. I would agree as a slightly larger individual that the standard seats in the E84 were better as the cushions in the F48 are slightly too short, so your legs aren't always getting enough support, the other complaint would be the increase in road noise, and I've had both the Pirelli and Bridgestone tyres with one being only slightly quieter than the other.
Other than that I have zero complaints, especially since moving from a 18i to a 20d. What is much better in the F48 version, is the rear leg room and an almost flat floor, although I guess that was at the expense of rear wheel drive in the S-Drive variants. I also like the inclusion of the cargo nets and roof mounts as it's a nice way to separate the cabin when I have the dog in the back.
