The specifications of X1 on the BMWUSA website states that weight distribution is 56.4/43.6 %. Maybe one can still argue that it's close enough, but I can sense the front-heavy tendency when pushing my X1 into a corner. It's lacks the balanced feel that I got from driving my F30 328i.
I do enjoy my X1 very much but in different ways from how I enjoyed my previous BMWs. I would say BMW may be pushing it a bit if they want to apply "near 50/50 weight distribution" description to X1 and 2 series Active Tourer/Gran Tourer. I would still say X1 is very fun to drive, but I can quickly think of 2 other similar cars that provide more satisfying driving experience - Audi Q3 and Mazda CX-5.
