This review published today in Autoweek on an X1 xdrive 28i says either get the competition (it lists Mazda and Subaru based on price) or save up for an X3.
"Save your pennies for the slightly larger X3 if you need a BMW crossover. That particular vehicle stumbled in its early iterations but has since grown into a fun, attractive and nicely trimmed family car. Granted, it's tough to find one for less than $45K, but at least you'll begin to feel as though you got what you paid for."
I should add that part of complaints in this review is that their X1 tester was under-equipped and felt cheap.
