In addition, any thoughts on heavy stop/start traffic experience? Not fun? Am I kidding myself and really for a daily driver, should I just get an expendable x3 m40i?

Thanks in advance.

Great post, I was wondering the same thing. Pre-LCI X3M was always praised for its handling but ride was rated as too firm for daily driving by many reviewers. I am toying with the idea of a G80 base but living in CO with a wife who cannot drive stick, I am also considering the X3M. Since the competition model comes with the 21s, I was thinking the base X3M with the 20 inch wheels might be a little softer thus more comfortable as a daily. LCI owners (especially base X3M) please chime in...

I went from a 2020 (with M Adaptive Suspension) on 21" to a 2022 with 20". I noticed the softer ride as soon as I exit the dealership garage.

Finally pulled the trigger last weekend. Just slight under MSRP with just over 1,500 miles on it. Happy with the configuration. Basically every option included. Very happy with my purchase!!

I'm now considering wrapping the roof of X3MC when it arrives; inspired by this one. Nice!

Roof wrap looks great. Do you mind sharing how much you paid and what film did they use?

Hi folks, new to the forums, picked up a ‘22 alpine white X3MC on the 26th of Feb. Just happened to find one sitting in a showroom and picked it up. Super super happy with it. Amusing to come in an read this thread. Definitely a lot of emotions tied up in the LCI. Personally I love it. Of course, I got it on a Saturday and had surgery on Tuesday, so I’ve driven it exactly twice so far. Fun times.

They used 3M. I think it was $500? I did a lot of things at the same time, so not 💯 sure what roof on it's own costed me.

I'm really happy with how the X4M looks, I'm one of those folks that loves the sedan style SUV. I initially went in looking to order an M340ix in Atlantis Blue, and put my order in with the local dealership. After being told they make the M340ix in Mexico, and they only paint Atlantis Blue in Germany they would effectively have to ship parts from Mexico to Germany, build and paint, then ship back to the US. My allocation was denied, so after doing more research, I discovered I could get a pure M model X4MC for $10k more than what the fully loaded M340ix would have cost. So, I just splurged and went the X4M route.

x3mdustin · 11-08-2023, 12:54 PM

think the dash buttons are much better in the 2020 model. the hazard switch and the safety switch are squeezed together, no more individual temp control for each side, and the aluminium buttons with red background are very hard to see properly, don't like it. and the dials on the 2020 also much better and closer to analog, but I never look at them with hud display. hud display is a must especially when driving fast in our m cars.

I wish it had more horn buttons. I can never find the horn when I need it. And beaded seat covers should be a factory option.
