Look at the skid pad differences in the article. The G95 is going to be that much better too. Regardless, it's the wifey's car (X5M was overkill for her, not me!), and I still have my M3CS to enjoy.
I agree, driving a true M car is a totally different experience than something that is not. Parked side by side, most true M cars look considerably more aggressive than the lower models too, they truly are special.
Everyone has different priorities and budgets, I've an M50i w/DHP on order but if the payment/cost were the same, I'd take the X5M in a heartbeat, as I'm sure a few of the others that say the M50i is "good enough/close enough/fast enough" would. (Same goes for many of those with 40i saying that comparing it to the M50i)

Side question, why have you owned so many M3's!!??
