So my e88 assumed full time daily driver duty. We added a hitch so I can pick up larger things. It works but I'm thinking the replacement may be another SUV. I might even just keep the e88. I've been comparing prices and features between the X1, X2 and Mazda CX5. If I had to choose today it would be the CX 5. The top two versions of the Mazda have a turbo 2.5L that makes about 250hp. A key feature they have that no small BMW SAV has is ventilated seats. In hot climates, they are nice. A fully loaded Mazda is about the same price as a BMW with a lot less options.

CX-5 leases are also crazy cheap. It's a great car, maybe the best midsize suv on the market for the price. Beautiful inside and out. The turbo also takes well to tunes lol.
