No one has driven an F95 X5 M yet I believe. Pretty sure they haven't arrived at dealers yet.

I know the regular production run hasn't started yet, but there's a few X5Ms out there getting evaluated by the press. I guess I was hoping someone who has driven one of them and a F85 had some thoughts.

I highly doubt it would get stiffer than the F85.

F85 isn't that stiff of a ride, as it depends on the road conditions.

I haven't driven the F85 in a few months, but to my recollection it was the stiffer car. Just got done driving the F95 Comp. (and have driven it a couple times now) and I can tell you that in the comfort chassis setting the car is plenty comfortable. Not as comfortable as the M50i of course, but definitely still a good daily driver.

No problem. I drove it both on smooth and bumpy roads, both in the drivers seat and passenger and I thought it was an insanely fast...yet comfortable car (throttle was on sport plus and chassis on comfort).

OK, I'm here to answer my own question. Somehow I'm driving a new X5M right now I can say this about the way it drives. I think it is a little rougher due to the rear low profile tires (which must enhance performance?). I think the steering on the HW is too quick and bothersome. Working on getting used to it. Overall, she's just a beast. I'm all in!
