I see a number of comments about F48 weird or vague handling and am honestly surprised. I know the X1 does not have the rear wheel drive feel of BMW salons but I still find the handling is direct with good feel. I wonder is steering settings vary by market or the car is hyper sensitive to tyre choice. My car came with 18” Pirelli rfts (I will change the rft’s as soon as I can) and am slightly concerned the wrong replacement choice could result in the “weird” handling. Do you think it may be tyres or different steering set-up for Northern American, or possibly just M models?
