I think maybe a big question could be how much do your folks care about the driving experience. I’m going to guess the BMW driving dynamics are probably not that important to them.
Just built an X1. For me the total MSRP comes to $50,650. I think the Mazda wins for me. It has a much better price and a somewhat more powerful motor and it has a real dashboard with physical controls. And it looks REALLY nice!!

The cx-5 might have more power on paper, but the x1 crushes it in real world acceleration. You know, just bmw things.
I'll have to check out a loaded cx5 to see how they like it. Pricing will come down to what sort of discounts mazda dealers are willing to give. I already have a 10% off deal on the x1 which brings its price in line with a loaded cx5 signature.
