The X1 makes a lot of sense for people cross shopping vehicles like the Q3 (vastly inferior) or GLA (one of the least reliable vehicles in the industry).

I think that we can indeed start questioning the extra flair of the i6/RWD concept seen the FWD platforms have also become massively better since the 2000s. My ideation is still coming from my youth (1980s) when the BMW I6s delivered a breath taking experience compared with the cars my parents bought sounding like nails in a cement mixer and delivering sensations of a lawnmower while driving it.
