BMW X1 28i xDrive

I just had a 2014 BMW X1 xDrive 28i as a loaner. While it was comfortable and quiet, with excellent performance from the 2.0T -- it is no match for the F30 328i. Steering felt loose, requiring constant correction at speed. F30 has electric steering and X1 xDrive supposedly has hydraulic -- they sure feel like the opposite is true. Performance wise, despite having exactly the same powertrain, the X1 is not even in the same galaxy. Where 2.0T in the 328i feels crazy fast and the gearbox/throttle are extremely aggressive in sport mode, the X1 feels much more pedestrian. I cannot even imagine how good the 328i must be in RWD/manual form. X1 is just OK. Good for people who drive CR-Vs and Muranos.
