Just priced one out. MUCH better "value" than the 28i.

HUD on this and not on the M2C. Ridiculous

Never mind the US - can't see it clicking anywhere, particularly given how pricey they are. Haven't yet seen a single one on UK roads

That's cause they're not competitors. The X4 is the direct competitor to the Macan.

I've seen about 4-5 on my travels but would have expected to have seen more considering how long it's been out now.

Totally agree. A reasonably optioned Macan will be atleast 15-20k more. A macan that is faster than x2 35m will be 30k more.

I guess if people buy it and want it well, whatever more power to them, but I'm taking the same route porsche buyers have gone with macan/cayenne owners... The more money bmw makes on people who wouldn;t otherwise have even bought anything from their old lineups of just 3/5/7 series the more r&d money is going to the RWD sports sedans/coupes we all want. If anything every dollar ROI they get out of the b48 design or shared infotainment systems etc in any vehicle, is another one that goes towards development of your 330i/m4/etc which shares a lot of parts |

The X1 is actually much better and doesn't give you a claustrophobic vibe in a car with an identity crisis.

I get also one as a loaner for 1 week and I really like it, even if I drive an F82, the X2 is really fun to drive, good looking and compared to the E84 of my wife, it will be a nice upgrade!

When is the X1 M35i coming? That's a much more useful option for daily around town use.

Handsome vehicle; performance specs aren't impressive at all...give it the engine from M40i X3 V6 and then we can talk....

I think the lack of a true M, which is RWD based, is such a huge, missed opportunity...but I shouldn’t be surprised because the X3/4M are also underwhelming. BMW can’t get out of their own way on some of these decisions.

Maybe I'll humor myself later and build a 4-cyl Macan and see how it compares.

My M2 now sounds like a pissed-off M4 GTS.
