The less than 100 value improves the ride quality of my 2022 X4M Comp to a level my wife says is fine with the Continental tires. If these reviewers reduced the tire pressure to the less than 100mph value I bet their observations on ride quality would be very different.
If you still don’t like the ride you can opt for the Michelin 4S OM Star rated tires. Some posters have said they offer a better ride quality over the Continental’s. Other posters switched to the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 All Season UHP tires that come standard on the new Corvette and Macan. If they are good enough for them they should be fine for the X3/4 M Competition.

I am running 38/40 Contis on my Lci , just over a month now since I picked up, and circa 500 of the 1200 done in running in.
I have to say Comfort mode for me is actually comfortable, quite surprised really given the abominations they pass for roads over here.
I would go as far as saying my X3MC is as comfortable in Comfort mode as was my F32 440i MSport, and way more compliant and tolerant of non compliant irregular (F*cked up) road surfaces than the M2.
Not had a single pot hole hit , that has hit with a bang and transferred into the cabin, nothing more than a reassuring thud/ping of the tyre(s) on contact/impact.
Drop into M1 (Sport for all settings apart from Steering which I leave in Comfort), I still find the X3MC surprisingly compliant and not overly firm when driving on my daily roads.
Thus far I could not be happier
