I am a student and many other "male" students also drive the 1 hatch. Most 1 Series drivers on campus are men, not women. I drive a 1 hatch and I am definitely not a wife!

The X1 is the same... the X5 is for men. The X3 is debatable... and the entire 6 and 7 Series are definitely men's vehicles... Will be getting an X1 in early 2011... far more practical than the convertible which is cute but having all wheel drive takes precedence over wind blown hair in the summer!

The Lee,

Is there some particular reason why they feel the desire to demonstrate "off road capability" on dirt roads my old lowered C5 Corvette Z06 could have (and did) traversed without issue? Sorry, BMW/Mercedes/Audi/Land Rover/VW/Porsche, but I ain't buyin' it. I still don't see the need for this vehicle. If you wanted a smaller SUV platform that could easily accept the 4 cylinder diesel, why didn't you just downsize the X3? Did it really necessitate the introduction of an entirely new platform? Me thinks not. The X3 is, primarily, driven by college girls or young women with 1-2 children. They would have done just as well in a vehicle slightly smaller and more economical, especially since BMW has somehow managed to make brakes on the X3 the most expensive of any non-M BMW model (yes, even including the 7). I don't like the X5, but I can see the need to have it in your lineup. I don't like the X6, but I guess it appeals to its niche market. I didn't like the X3, but it fills a need. I don't like the X1, and I still struggle to understand just what kind of market its going to fulfill that the X3 couldn't already handle. First off, let me get something off of my chest:
