So I guess the 'poser' with the alpine white X3 M40i that pulls up next to me with the tricolor grille clips, the tricolor license plate frame and ///M all over his car is now a real ///M owner? I get and understand the 'M lite' models as MB makes a killing with C43 and GLC43 and other AMG lite models. But part of the allure of a real ///M car is they are much more rare and select and you pay for that along with a proper sport suspension and handling plus the best engine and performance tech BMW offers in that model. You cannot compare the X3 M40i to the X3M in any performance category. Yes the M lite models are probably better daily drivers and offer exceptional performance for the price. But no its not a true motorsports engineered vehicle.

My $0.02...
