I really like this platform (aesthetically, haven't driven it yet).
Anyone have extensive experience with it on the autobahn? Curious about stability at higher speeds.

What do you consider extensive? I put around 8000 miles on it before I moved back. I took her to 140mph even on OEM winter wheels (when dry, of course). She was solid.

This thing needs wider tires. I know the ones in the pic is wearing winter wheels/tires but even stock looks way too skinny (265 in the rear?) esp. from the rear. I hope they give the rear a more aggressive look with the LCI.

The F90 is just a very different car, and was only mentioned here by his co-host because it shares much of the drivetrain components with the F90 (trans and rear diff, of note). I don't think there are a ton of us cross-shopping the two, although I know there are some threads out there where folks were doing just that. You really can't go wrong with either, and I'd highly recommend a test drive if you haven't yet.

I get some lift on my M235i above 160kmh; gets a little squirrelly. Been thinking about moving to a sporty SUV that can do it all, as I'd like to do some trips through the Alps. Also considering a Macan or Stelvio.

The X3M LCI and X4M LCI is followed by a G83 and two G82's — probably final winter MxDrive testing prior to SOP 7/21. G83 is looking good 👍.

Nice work!
I spent time with the 22' X4M last month in person (I bored Ben from RGSport with too many details Hehe), and you aren't far off. It's a bit more in line with the F95 than the G80 with its bumper design, but the lighting (shadowline lights are evidently an option at least, I didn't ask) are a lot like the LCI M5. Replace the grille with a blacked-out version of the one from the new iX3 but with a thicker bottom 'rung' like on the M5 CS, then square off the brake duct gills like the LCI M5 (w/thinner,sleeker black bits that angle up toward the outer lines), and add some much smaller vertical outer vents from the new M3/4 and that's pretty much the front end. Current lip spoilers won't fit, there's a different shape from the edges inward at a different angle. I don't know about the X3M, but I'd imagine they won't diverge the front end styling like they do on the F95/F96. As I recall, production will start this July but we should "see" the car after the Electric M debut, or as part of it, which is May I think? The better tidbits were what they were testing under the car....

Changes for the better are always welcome. Looking forward to learning more about engineering improvements in the next X4MC (in my shopping basket).

Minor changes, looks too much like the standard X3.

I took it to Chamonix, Zermatt, and Lauterbrunnen. It can definitely handle the turns.
