My guess for not having one is simply that those who buy the X1 are not looking for high end SUVs and are not willing to pay the price. If you are willing to pay what an X1 M35i would could then you will most likely be looking at either the X2 or X3 anyway.
Great response! You have some very valid points. I guess it comes down to personal preference to me. I like the styling on the x1 better than the x1 and the x3 sis taller, but has less rear legroom than the x1. I have an '18 x1 msport. Just wish it had a better exhaust, some more power, and a tad lower, and stiffer suspension..
.. it would be perfect imo
It would be great if BMW made an M35i X1, but until pigs fly, you can still accomplish what BMW failed to achieve.

Power: ECU Flash + Downpipe + High Flow Filter in Stock Air Box
Suspension: Koni Adaptive Shocks + Eibach Springs
Exhaust: Custom or SuperSprint
...but you'll still need the Haldex & TCU tune, but most of all, the front LSD. Oh, and warranty! :
