overall like it alot.... the one thing nagging me is the move toward staggered front and rear wheel sizes (21in front/22in rear). I think i prefer the symmetry of having the same diameter wheel front and back.
I know the new M3 is going this direction also. Personally would prefer the option to have them the same |

It's strange how the Konfigurator defaults to Urban Green paint yet it's not available to re-select if you look at the car(s) in a different serial paint.

Since the press release BMW has removed the engine bay bracing images from their press material. One image of said item remains on a slew of european BMW sites as a part of a highlight reel.
I guess they forgot the bracing was supposed to be coated black? Really enjoyed the raw look of the one in the original presskit. See attached. |

So X3M comp vs M40i, his will be similar for new M3 vs M340i
X3M: cost difference $15,000 (similar options, that are available on M40i) 30% more HP (503 vs 382) 21% more torque (442 vs 365) Now if you compare the X5M comp to M50i: cost difference will be about $25,000 (similar options) 18% more HP (617 vs 523) 0% more torque not comparing X3M to X5M here, just saying for $25K doesn't feel like you are getting a whole lot extra here (compared to $15K more what the X3M gets you). And I know its more than just power, but the X3M also upgrades a lot of that (including seats and leather quality you can't get in M40i), the X5 M50i does let you get upgraded leather, leather dash, a lot of M performance options as well and still $25K less expensive. |

Just checked out the new X5M stuff. I have an X3 M40i and a X3M-Comp. Absolutely love them! I just am not the one who'd break that price barrier (100k) on an SAV, UV or whatever ya want to call it. Crossing that line for me means two seats and purpose built to track with livability coming second. I am a stay at home dad with two girls so I need the space but want to "live a little" too. The M40i covers that. My M is a luxury that does it better, and pretty damn good better! I am not sure the X5 version with it's added weight, price, etc. would give anything more. Plus, I just don't like the new instrument cluster! Just can't get on board with it. I am starting to see some track times for the X3M breaking the 4sec 0-60. So not sure that is a factor either. And I seldom need to slam it off the line to leave everyone just a spec in my rear view mirror anyway. With the 500hp 6, I am eating noticeably more fuel than my M40i. Noticeably! 1 tank, or $50 more per week. Just think of 4.4 625 V8 will do!! Anyway, yes, it's totally awesome. But only for those with lots of disposable cash. The X3M will give ya all the senses and "save" ya 30k. A rear tire on the X3M is also $360 plus fees and installation... plus, not sure if it's just me, but the pictures of the front brakes are not as impressive as on the X3m. I love my calipers! They are gigantic! Yeah, probably heavier than snot, but look awesome 😂!

Just my opinion on ceramic brakes... Remember, when they need replacing, it's another 8-10,000 bucks! Just had a buddy who needed a new set. He drives hard, but right, as an experienced driver. "Unless you use them the way they were intended, not worth the money". They squeal louder than the "normal" M brakes if just used in a causal setting. Plus takes'm more to heat up to good temps...
