I still think the technology in the X3 beats all of them, and I'm sure the B58 with a piggyback will smoke, but there's no way it's going to beat the GTS in driving feel. And I feel like the F Pace edges the X3 out slightly too. That said, I've only had passenger seat time in the F Pace, and I haven't spent any time in the new X3 yet, so ymmv.
You drove the X3 M40i as a comparison? Would be interested to get further thoughts.
