Very good review Glos Guy. Interesting to read about your fuel consumption, better than I thought. Might have to reconsider looking at the petrol x1, my X1sport Xdrive 2.0 d is averageing 47. 1mpg over the last 3 years.
One point of interest I thought the petrol had a 7 speed auto box and the diesel had a 8 speed box?
Totally agree with you on everything you said. Seats do get better /softy as you use them.
