Highlights the importance taking a test drive as opinions (and conditions) can vary. In my case I drove the M5C immediately after the X3MC and aside from the obvious expected differences of ride height, handling, ... , I felt the actual 'ride comfort' was very similar.

We've always liked the M5 series, but we can't consider it given our requirements for cargo capacity and utility. A great line-up if you don't need the X3's all-around capabilities.
