I think more than anything, BMW failed hard with the M Sport package this time around. The great big black slabs of plastic for the fake "intake vents" on the front bumper are the biggest detractor for me. On my '12 M Sport, they were functional intake grilles! I actually prefer the standard (non-M) front bumper on the new model. The rear end is also not so pleasing and I do not like the X1 rear lights at all.
I'd kill to have a '13 M Sport with a '14 interior and electronics.
I am giving this one a pass. Maybe the LCI will correct these issues.
