X1 after 4 days

So far so good. It’s got great usable space along with most of the great things you’ve ever heard about other BMWs that share similar E8_/E9_ chassis with the n55: quick, good steering, good interior, ZF 6sp is decent.

The gas mileage is not great though. I took my daughter to a state park with a “rustic” cabin and after 4 hours round trip of mostly highway driving and 2 days of commuting; the cars sits at 24.5mpg.
