I may be bias since I've ordered one, but the M50i really is the best bet in this category. I just don't see the case for spending $23,000 more for the X5M. Ride will be rock hard, even on comfort settings, engine has more HP but exactly the same torque at 553 lbs. And all for what 2/10 of a second 0-60? No thanks. Plus you lose fog lights & can't get the beautiful glass controls. And I personally like the 747M wheels much more than the XM5 wheel options. Also discounts are much more limited on full M models, so actual price difference is even greater.
