Handled and rode great. Sounds good. For comparison I traded my 2016 X5M for an F90 M5. Also just drove a M40i.
Looks are up to the Individual. Performance rocks !
Only dings from me is the dash is not Leather and the steering wheel is manually adjustable. Overall, a very solid performer.

I drove the car a few hours ago & im not sold on it. I think it looks cheap on the inside and I can't wrap my head around a "competition" M SAV. Maybe I'm comparing it too much to my F80 M3 but I just think it's sub par. I do think that the exhaust has a similar note to the F80 so it sound ok but everything else seems dull. I was exploding to hot that throttle and get excited and it actually was a let down. Maybe it's the transmission? Also, not thrilled with the tech on the car. The digital dash is gimmicky and the mess of a gear shifter is more annoying then it is functional. All together, I think my money is better spent on a different M car. The dealership was pretty great they pretty much pulled the car up and said "take it out". The only condition was to try and return the car in 20 minutes. I beat the hell out of the X3M and properly put it through its paces. Again, not impressed. PS: I'm an M car fan boy and have been salivating at the thought of a true X3 M. It looks like BMW is watering their lineup down.
