Does anyone have data or know how the X3M compares in the quarter to the X3 M40i? Based on some owner reviews on here I'm curious how much more performance comes with the full M car.

That test shows the X3M40i pure stock going 13.0 at 107 mph. IND went 11.8 at 116mph. So acceleration is two different worlds. Pure M handling will be an even greater performance delta. |

For daily driving the M40i is still 95% or more the same experience, maybe a softer ride. Biggest loss is the bragging rights. |

If you can't appreciate the difference you shouldn't be buying a M anyway. There is so much more to a real M than 1/4 mile and 0-60 times. And if you own a BMW of any kind most would argue it's for "bragging rights" the same with a big house or jewelry or high end clothing. |

I've also done enough daily driving in an M car to know that it goes mostly wasted day to day. What I'm saying is that, wow, the difference is significant between an M40i and an X3M, but it's mostly beyond the range of daily use. You really have to go to the track to appreciate it fully, because you're not sane if you're doing 100+ mph drags or drifting turns daily on city roads. In contrast, I can utilize the difference between a 30i and an M40i almost every day, many times a day. Simply having the passing power is worth it to me. All said, i do appreciate M cars. I was keeping an eye on the X3M but in the end it wasn't different enough from what I have, knowing I can't really have as much fun day to day as I do on the track. If it had a more aggressive body, or the new instrument cluster, in addition to the power, I might have made the jump. If anything the X3M has pushed my sights to the upcoming X5M. As far as bragging rights, what I mean is that whenever someone in an X3M pulls beside me in my M40i, we will both know they have the superior car, and that's probably one of the most significant differences in their daily drive and mine, assuming they aren't heading to the track. |

I rarely drive in the city. Very rarely. My environment allows +130mph blasts multiple times every month. It’s great that we have options for for everyone’s goals. |
