I was at the buying crossroads as well and thought about the x1 too, but i am about to purchase a 328i because of more rear seat space, better fuel economy, and the fact i wont regularly be using the ground clearance for off road duties.
However if you live in places that have snow or like going on dirt roads, the x1 with x drive is certainly well worth a thought - particularly the safety benefits. Certainly appreciated the difference awd makes when i used to live in missouri in winter.
The other thing that swayed me towards a sedan is i know my driving style would appreciate the lower centre of gravity and handling benefits of the 328i... Plus i am living in a warm climate and dont need awd
