Skidpad will be better, but at what cost in ride quality & who's really slinging something this big around a skidpad?
And I really like the glass control & luggage pkg options & standard fog lights on the M50i - not available; on the M. Lastly I love the 747M wheel option on the M50i. Not thrilled with the XM5 wheel choices
Makes sense. I wish the styling in/out was more my taste; I would've been more tempted. But...getting back into my F85 after testing the M50...there's just something about the razor sharp steering/suspension/brakes/transmission that makes an M an M
