2024 BMW X1 M35i xDrive: Sports car performance, SUV practicality
The 2024 BMW X1 M35i xDrive is a wonder of our age — a high-performance luxury subcompact crossover SUV that can compete against genuine sports cars, but comes with a real back seat, good cargo space, and standard all-wheel-drive. The only thing it lacks is an available manual transmission, but few sports cars provide them these days, either. Subcompacts used to be nothing but entry-level vehicles. They were the cheapest vehicles offered by manufacturers and the trade-offs were obvious: underpowered engines, cramped interiors, small rear...
