Has anyone here come from M3 to X4/40i?

I am considering getting an X4/40i.
I like the space for my sports stuff but the car handling leaves me at a loss.
Please... any feedback would be appreciated. The M's are very special cars but will I find happiness in it in the long run? Or should I consider a 550

Thanks https://x3.xbimmers.com/forums/images/smilies/frown.gif

I’ve come from some well handling cars
v2 CTS-V, GR STi, and a few others.

This is an SUV. It rides higher and therefore is going to have more body roll. Although, it didn’t have as much as I expected. The suspension isn’t anything to laugh at by any means, and the AWD helps the car tremendously.

I’d consider 2 things:
1) waiting for the X4M.
2) if you do decide to jump into the X40i, get a few items;
A) Lowering Springs (H&R makes some)
B) wide wheels/tires
C) a rear sway bar. I got one for my XC60-R Polestar and it was like a brand new car, virtually eliminated body roll.
This is the one I got for my Xc60, which was just abeefier one with stiffer bushings and man what a difference. I’ve actually heard that stiffer bushings like these will help on their own.
