we owned the X1 prior to our X3 for around 3 years. We have 2 kids, and to be honest it was just enough in terms of space. That is, until the eldest hit 12 years and suddenly she needed her own luggage.
We'd had 2 E60 5's prior to the X1 .. That was due to needing the pram space really. Once that had passed, we then wanted a smaller car, but also wanted 4WD. In the UK, that meant the only choice from BMW was the X1. It was a very capable car, and did everything we wanted (although, coming from a V10 5 series to a 2.0 D wasn't what I wanted, but I couldn't think of a replacement for it).
Having now taken delivery of the X3, I must say it's quite a cut above the X1 in terms of quality and space.
All-in-all, I don't have a bad word about either of them. And specc'd correctly, the X1 I found to be a good looker.
