Can anyone provide feedback on the ride in Comfort mode in the X3 compares to an X5?
Hi,
I think the issue you need to look at more is seat comfort - rather than ride comfort.
I find our adaptive suspension is soft enough in comfort and sporty enough in sport settings but the seats in an X5 are far more comfortable than those in the X3 (especially if the X3 has ventilated seats - they are awful)
Cheers

Thanks for the seat comment. I've owned several 3 and 5 series sedans and convertibles with standard and sport seats. Are the seats in the X3M40i sport seats?
When this pandemic allows I plan to test drive an X3M40i immediately after driving the X5 to the dealer.
