Thinking of an X2 to replace our M125i - worth it?
I am thinking of replacing our 2017 M125i hatch with an X2.
I really like the power of the 125i, which is 170kw / 227hp. I also like the M-Sports big brakes - I just like the look of BBK for some reason. So, I was going to get a X2 M35i, but I don't really like the bucket seats, my son on his limited license won't be allowed to drive it for a few months and we don't really need another performance car. I didn't want to get the X2 20i, because here in Australia, it's 'only' got 140kw / 187hp. Not a big deal, but I feel like I am going backwards. I also don't like the 7 speed DCT as much as the 8 speed ZF for the kind of driving that we do. Plus, it's only front drive - it's been 20 years since I owned a front drive only car (Honda Accord) And then there's the brakes... Anyone know if you can upgrade the standard brakes to these ? + for the M35i - looks, power, sound, LSD, HK sound, brakes + for the 20i - save some money, seats are more practical I kind of feel that if I just get the X2 20i, it's not really an upgrade - true or false? |

Agreed. We were initially going to get base model X2 ourselves but after driving the M35i it was a no brainer to go that route instead. Just a better driving experience and more enjoyable over all.
(your son is paying me to say this btw )

Used to be able to get regular sports seats if you didn't get leather, not sure if it changed
Also have you sat in them or just don’t like the look? Last edited by billnchristy; 07-09-2021 at 02:03 PM.. |

I have the magma red with gray, stealth on the outside, party on the inside. I like the color but at least to my old eyes and my adult children it looks more orange than red. either way it looks good and i like the sport seats. I have some pictures posted somewhere on here i think

We don't have the M35 version in China so you guys are so lucky to have this option available. The highest output here is only. 2.0T which at 190hp. I definitely will get the M35 if available location. For now can only settled with the 2.0 Xdrive.
