Also had the opportunity this weekend to ride in an X3MC and man does that car pull but does have quite a bit turbo lag. I can now also see where the impression that this car was too stiff came from but you have to remember this is an M car and it's a heavier SUV. This is the particular area I feel that the X3 M40i has really lacked in. The sound to me seemed a bit muted but makes for a better daily driver (I might be spoiled always hearing an M2 with M performance exhaust all the time) 😁.
Overall a good SUV but I don't think it's necessary to buy the competition over the base X3 M.
