This is what BMW M buyers do, this is how they roll.

I couldn’t agree more.
I actually really like how the X3M rides. Because I don’t expect it to be plush. I like raw and fast. It actually reminds me a lot of how the Lancer Evo 9 suspensión feels. And that’s why I like it.
If I wanted a soft plush ride I wouldn’t have bought the X3M, I honestly can’t stand a soft fluffy ride. So, I honestly feel BMW engineers know exactly what they are doing when they designed the suspension for the X3M and other M cars. People who don’t like it, are expecting the wrong thing from their M car and should probably buy the M sport version instead.
Ie instead of an M3 they should own an M340 or even a 340 with a M sport package if they want a “nice ride”
And Suv with a sports car suspension is a Foriegn concept to many. So it’s no surprise people think it’s too stiff. But honestly it’s softer and has more control than the Lancer EVO’s stock suspension.
