Bigger front brakes - they just don't look like they fill up the wheel very well. I like big brakes and I do not lie 🎼... Not sure if it's just not getting picked up on in the photos. That happens!
The second is the price. Starting well over 100k... Just not sure about that. First of all, it's outta my league so, I'm out 😂. But secondly, for BMW, not sure they will get the same play as the competition in that price point. I feel people don't really see BMW so much as $100k+ SUV worthy. I feel at that price buyers will gravitate toward more exotic options, even just for the sake of justification in spending that much money. I think if they kept the X3M in the 70's and started this in the 90's... I think the M8, at a much higher price might out-sell it... Just my 2 cents, which are on sale for free today and probably only worth half of that...

X5M and X6Ms have been priced well over $100K for a while now and there is a lot of demand. Importantly, I don't think you can get any of the other brands' models that directly compete with X5 and X6Ms cheaper. I try to cross shop every time and I see both MB and Audi leases for AMG and RS cars being a lot more expensive. There is usually less residual support and higher MF.
