Overall a good SUV but I don't think it's necessary to buy the competition over the base X3 M.
I don't think it was too stiff. Just stiffer. I like a firmer suspension where it makes sense. And it makes sense with the X3MC. That lag was surprising though. I will be looking forward to trying out the non-comp for sure too. My original plan was to get a non-comp within a year. But not so sure now. Never know though!
