X3m - perfect daily driver, very comfortable, 1 week ago i did 2k km in 24 hours and was super comfort. Also on st1 - x3m is crazy fast and u have 4 wheel drive. X3 - perfect car for everyday, but this is not fun car like m3/m4. M3 give you more pleasure on the road and you can go much faster on corners. I would suggest to keep both. |

I used to have an F82. My X3MC is definitely faster, also because of the excellent M XDrive. Acceleration in M4 felt a bit more visceral, probably because you sit so low. Overall, I am extremely pleased with my X3. The best sedan-like SUV you can buy. Speed and cornering will definitely surprise you.

I'm in a somewhat similar boat as well. Absolutely love, LOVE my M3cs but with a 4 and 6 year old, it has kind of gotten tiresome either taking my wife's car (Honda Clarity) or our beater (2013 Tiguan).
Selfishly, I'd like to keep the M3cs, but consolidating that and the Tiguan in to an X3Mc is also attractive.

Fuel consumption
I've just switched from an 2018 M4 to a 2020 X3MC last week. I agree with most of the things mentioned above. I did happen to notice something interesting about the fuel consumption, and really curious to find out why.
I traveled 8 hours in the M4 and came back with the X3MC. In the M4, I could get 30mpg on pure highway. In the X3MC, I only got around 21mpg. I had Shell's V power in the M4, and BP's 93 octane in the X3MC. (Assuming both fuel contain ethanol) I didn't think there would be such a big difference in mpg on pure highway. A few factors in mind that could cause this: 1. S55 vs. S58. Similar engines, didn't think would generate this much difference in mpg, especially at high speeds. 2. Weight of the cars, didn't think would be a big factor at high speeds 3. Would think ZF8 is more efficient than the DCT. 4. Aerodynamic. I def think the M4 has better aero, as I picked up loads of bugs on the windshields of the X3MC, and almost none on the M4. What do you guys think? Cheers |

2. Aerodynamics 3. Low compression engine all 3 = loss of 9mpg?? Seems like it.

I went M2 Comp (S55) to X3M Comp. Curiously the X doesn’t feel as fast, and of course is nothing like as nimble, but I have to confess it doesn’t feel special in the way that all other M cars I’ve had do. Feels like a safe, sensible family bus with little sensation of speed. I don’t love it but it’s fine as a day to day work hack. If it’s your only car, you might be disappointed. Luckily I have a manual 911 for the weekends.
