The article mentioned that the 1 series was really nice in the straights, but once you hit a corner with it, things goes terribly wrong.

Tiny bit OT, but that reminds me of an old Car and Driver article in the 90s where they compared the 22B to an e36 M3 (which they were obsessed with). In their comparison chart that they specifically made for this test, something like 5 out of 7 comparisons had nothing to do with performance and as such they gave the M3 the overwhelming win. Its all in what you are looking for

I thought C&D loved evo's now they gave a heads up to the 135i instead? Thanks for SCI for telling what is actually a deserved win by the X.
