What I really appreciate in the m50i is the TT V8 and how it cruise effortlessly at highway speed. When cruise is on at 110kph, it just goes. You switch to power meter and it tells you that you still have well over 200hp in reserved which came in handy when passing. It's calme and relaxed and it doesn't even encourage you to abuse it's vast reserved power. This character is what I am looking for for a family SUV.

I was hopping to hear from someone who had driven the S58 in an X3M and the 4.4L TT in the M50i back to back.
I agree, would not be looking for a full M version of any SUV. Handling where we live is not much of a factor as the roads are essentially all flat and straight with 90 degree turns at stop signs and red lights.
