I think for you to go from the x3 m40 to a x5/6 40i you must be at a place to accept the x5 as not one that is going to offer an exhilarating driving experience. Are you at this place yet? Sure the 40i is still plenty quick, and I think that’s why many believe it to be a good alternative, but it is noticeable slower and most importantly it does not call you to push it. It’s a very very different drive IMO.
If you’re not at the pure cruising point in your life I would strongly encourage you to step up the m60 or a slighted used CPO m50. The m50s are selling at great discounts with the LCI and are phenomenal cars.
I would also agree to check out the professional suspension setup as this will make the x5 feel more on rails with less body roll.
I’d be very curious to hear thoughts from people comparing handling of the x5 m50/m60 with the pro setup to the x3 m40. I might be inclined to say the x5 could be better….
