The slight improvement in the suspension and comfort settings in the LCI might even bring summer tires into the acceptable ride quality. I'm OK with my 2020 base mode (20"s) and PS4 SUV tires but still wish the comfort setting was a bit more so....
In all, a fair, good review of the X3M. Not a car or SUV for everyone but certainly a fun ride and good value for the performance and features you get. |
My beef with the pre-LCI suspension wasn't that it was uncomfortable, it's that over certain bumps or patches of pavement, I could lose grip on the steering wheel it was so freaking jarring, even in Comfort. My F90 is a bit stiff too, but it isn't as high off the ground and never gives me issues except over the worst pavement.
I haven't driven the LCI F97/8, but it seems it's slightly improved. I know it's greatly improved in the F90 LCI, so at least we know they *can* tune it properly if they want.
