It is a sort of luxury family car, and i think it does give all what one would expect from a car like that.
I have been to the Spartanburg plant recently, and driven those X and M vehicles on the track, and with all due respect you are a bit wrong on that point. Its not a merely cosmetic. Feeling is believeing in this case. I thought like you before, but I can tell you there is indeed a difference. In fact I think you will be very surprised when you eventually drive one. I drive a tuned ZSP 335i for whatever that's worth.
