LOL at people complaining.
I used to complain that the F80 didn’t have any steering feel but guess what car I drive now - an F80. It’s wonderful. I focused on one thing that was worse than before instead on 100 things that are improved. Including handling and fun overall. Every iteration there will be those that are disappointed. Go drive the competition. GLC AMG 63 is boring and still sold with last gen infotainment. Alfa is a reliability nightmare and nowhere near as nice inside. M40i is one of my favorite current BMWs. Perfect mix of practicality, comfort and amazing fun. X3M should take that and dial it to a more focused sporty experience. Just more fun. It’s not supposed to be a competitive race car. It’s supposed to bring most smiles per mile in a compact SUV and this puppy will deliver. |

I expected more differentiation between the M40i and X3M front and rear bumper. Similar to what we have seen before with the X5M. That's the biggest visual disappointment for me.

The simple fact is that many BMW M models get SIGNIFICANTLY improved from the first year or two.
BMW E30 M3 improved with Evo1, Evo 2, and finally Sport Evo models E36 M3 - 95 M3- OBD-1 ; 95 E36 M3 LTW ( no radio, hand picked motor, aero) ; 96 -99 M3 was OBD-II ; and if you wanted a four door ... 97-98 was E36 M3/4 E36 M Roadster and M coupe - S50 first 2 years 99-00 and then got S52 in 01-02 E46 M3 had issues early on with oil pumps - E39 M5 came without angel eyes the first couple of years Z4 - initially we were told no M model.. then surprise.. S54! F82 M4 improved handling and EPS significantly with ZCP update F87 M2 - became M2 competition after 2.5 years Last edited by M3 Adjuster; 06-07-2019 at 07:57 PM.. |

I'm considering an X4M to replace my X6M. I'm concerned about missing some of the luxury features of the bigger SUV. I was surprised to see a 265mm tire out back? Seems like there's a lot left on the table. Why not at least a 305?

Future M3 Preview
This is looking like it will be a great car and a good indicator of what to expect for drivetrain on the upcoming M3.
Curious that you trade down from an M5. i would think you would consider the M8 GC as replacement. |
