My parents have an X1. They've had it for a couple years. But now that they're retired I think they only have about 15K miles on it. No reliability issues. But they did have a flat tire, and with run flats the only option is replacement.

I haven't done any maintenance on it, so I can't comment like Rick has from personal experience.

But I have driven it a few times. Pickup and handling is decent. But I didn't like the harshness of the suspension. Too stiff over bumps, which I suppose is the tradeoff for the crispness of the handling. I don't mind a harsh suspension, personally. But I don't think most people who buy a luxury car do. That would block me from recommending one.
