As has been said, the G01 is likely to be a significantly different vehicle. My plan is this stage is to wait until a year after it's released and then get a full-spec 2015 M-Sport 2.0d with low mileage, as they're likely to have dropped a fair bit in value by then.
From a price consideration perspective, I have a sneaky suspicion we're in for a shock. With the F48 X1 having just become available here in South Africa, I had a look at one this week. Holy !#@$, in Sport 2.5i guise it was exactly the same price as an almost fully loaded X3 2.0d M-Sport. At first I thought it was just our terrible currency, but then I watched a UK review (Carbuyer.co.uk) and Mat Watson also lamented the ridiculous pricing. Let's hope we don't see the same with the G01...
