I saw a black sapphire metallic X3 3.0 toady. Very sophisticated. Strangely, it looked bigger than a blue X3 M40i. It looked almost as big as the X5 parked 2 cars down.

I think the M40i sits a bit lower with the adaptive suspension, about half an inch. That might have made a difference.

I wish there was a non msport version of the 40i, perfect sleeper suv.

You could order it de-badged

I think that the 3.0 will make a nice "official" car or diplomatic car - but in most places where that will happen it will be a 2.0D.

For me I prefer xline to msport, and to get the M40i, there is no xline look.

You can delete M Sport suspension in the UK as a no cost option.
