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.

Totally understand where you're coming from. However, the X3 M40 is not a part of the discussion nor should it be with any transverse config.
