Running quite close in price to the sedan model in US pricing structures.

I did price a moderately equipped x3m40i to $66k as well for comparison.
For $66k, you get the M40i in a color other than Alpine White with every available package, wireless charging, harmon kardon, Adaptive M Suspension and the 699Ms, that's not really moderately equipped.

A fully loaded X3M should sit at @80K USD. Add at least another 6-8K if they do end up releasing a Comp Pack. Sign me up in 2021 if I can wait that long.
That seems like revisionist history, the F25 should have included the launch of a performance SAV before Audi launched the SQ5 but BMW didn't and for some reason waited for the F26. To add insult to injury, they offered M Performance kits for the 30d but not the 35i in late 2014. At least they're ahead of the RS Q5, but they're still later to market then the GLC63, Stelvio Quadrifoglio and the aforementioned Macan Turbo S.
