The X1 is fine is you are highly budget conscious. Entry level FWD variants and spec makes most financial sense.
Add a decent engine, X-Drive and a few nice to haves and you will be better off buying an X3. The bigger sibling is a more premium car and, at least in the UK, has better finance offers.
I had one as a loaner and found the inteior room to be comparable to the X3. What I dislike is the busier ride and suspension noise when driving over potholes.
Lastly, I prefer the steering and driving characteristics of the RWD biased X3.
