I drove the X3M Comp on the M Town Tour and I don't quite get how Joe can complain about the suspension considering he and I both have an M2C. The X3MC was stiff, even in comfort mode, but no where near as stiff as my little M2C on it's static suspension. Also, I went from a B58 to the S55, and even on the S55 the torque comes in at higher RPM's than the B58. On my M2C, I'm almost always in manual mode on the highway to keep the engine from going into 7th outside of real cruising to avoid the RPM's dropping too low. The S55 is gutless at 1300 RPM's, as well. I wasn't expecting the S58 to change that other than likely having to avoid both 7th and 8th gear instead of just 7th. Joe's M2C is a manual, so perhaps he just doesn't realize that the situation with low-end power exists on the S55, just as much as it clearly exists on the S58.
