IDrive 7 isn't great so that shouldn't be an issue.
I don't really get your torque point and I am still confused as to the motivation for JA to raise it. It's always been a trait with M cars. In fact the F80 got criticised for too much torque low down and the E92 was even more peaky in power delivery than the X3M.
Day to day and driven properly there is no issue with low down torque. You can get caught out if you're in Efficient and need to blast from standing, but I quickly hit the M1 button and response is it an issue.
If you want lazy linear torque delivery the M40i is probably the car for you. But accept the major difference versus the X3M. One is a true M car and one isn't.
