Having owned a 2014 F25 X3 2.8i, and now the 2018 M40, I can tell you they are far different vehicles, even over the obvious things.
I thought the F25 handled poorly if you weren't in Sport mode, then the throttle was too touchy. Someone else described it as "floaty" and I'd have to agree. Not confidence-inspiring in any driving situation. Frankly, I'd buy a car before another 4-cylinder X3.
That said, I thought the 4 had more than adequate power, if you don't require speed.
The M40 is a confident handler, in any mode. And that engine, wow! Sounds wonderful, gets about the same MPGs on the highway as my 4 did, and just higher quality throughout (admittedly the 4 was the prior model, which was rather plain).
