I bought an x2 m35i because it ticked the boxes I wanted: small, fast, decent utility. If it was called the x2 35i that would not have mattered one bit. Do I feel it has been breathed on by the m guys? Hell yes.
1) 80hp more than stock
2) damn near 15” brakes
3) lsd
4) downright nasty exhaust note
5) tons of boost
6) handles like a dream
7) extremely comfortable and grippy seats particular to the car
I drove an x1 for 3 years prior and this car does everything better, hell even highway fuel economy. It certainly is not just a step up in trim, it’s a different animal.
Call it whatever you want, I wanted a hot hatch and Bmw created this magnificent bastard and I love it.
Only blind bias and stupid pride can keep you from seeing it.
And yes, I have driven m4, m5, m850i, m340i, m240i cars as well.
