How is the ride of the M50i compared to the X3m?
I have the X3M and the ride firmness is uncomfortable for me on bad roads.

Out of sheer curiosity! Why did you get a X4 vice going for the X6 in the beginning?

Even the standart suspension offers a much more relaxed ride than the X3M suspension. If you get the dynamic handling, the difference is day and night on bad surfaces.

I have DHP on my M50i. In the comfort setting, it is too soft for my liking. In sport, it is perfect.

Keep in mind, the X5 is a larger vehicle with more weight - hard to hide that compared to an X3.

The X3M is bone crushing in comparison to the X5.

Two totally different vehicles. I loved my X3MC but the ride was terrible. Also there is no comparison to the interiors and finishes. X5 wins hands down in all categories other than the fast as ever living shit category. The X3MC is lighting fast and reminds me of a pissed off badger all of the time.
