The comparison car for the day was my G11 7er on air suspension so as a back to back against the X3M if it was as Joe says it is then I'd have noticed. (he runs a 7er as well oddly enough) I can't say he didn't feel that way as I'm sure he's not making it up but I guess that's the issue with reviewers that aren't pros they have a very narrow and personal view.
Another point to note is the rear tyres have more sidewall than any other M car I've had at 265x40 compare that to the M3 CP at 285X30 in fact they are deeper than the 20" on my 7er....
