My X1 has over 1000 road course miles on it and I pass M3s and Porsches with ease (I have actually never pointed by a e92 M3, ever). Have passed countless GT3s (although let's be honest, GT3s driven by a truly fast driver are rarer than unicorns) and even a few GTRs.
Am I a minority customer? Absolutely. Just a bit sad as BMW used to cater to the enthusiasts like me. I will be purchasing my current X1 (it is leased) as there is really no replacement for it on the market from any brand.
I wish BMW would leave it as-is with the N55 engine, 80% rear wheel bias, cut 100lbs weight, and update to the new idrive and a dual clutch. That would be hot-hatch perfection.
