    My car

    Having owned BMW's for my last four cars I have to say i may be a little biased. I feel design and drive wise they just can't be beaten, especially inside the Cabin. The last BMW was a Z4 so a completely different tyoe if car but i still feel confident through the corners and it drives really well off road and on the country roads where i live, it also saved friends and family in the snow! It's amazingly good to run, torque in almost every gear to accelerate and good driver assist aids like Hill Descent Control. Got it with Prof Sat Nav and iDrive, which makes life so easy whilst driving along in my opinion and the voice control is good at recognising my pronunciation of the english language! Out of my 120d, 320i Coupe and this, the X1 is my favourite so far for space, comfort and flexibility.
