I drove an X3 M40 as a loaner for a couple of days when I had a passenger restraint sensor in the seat replaced. The car was a beast. the M35 is quick, the M40 is fast. Great car, you will enjoy it. It is a little big for me (wife drives a CRV) however in a couple years if she goes for her tiny electric tree hugger car
the X3 will be on the list. Sorry you lost your X2, but you will really like the X3
