I was all ready to trade in my X3 M40i for an X3M Comp, but once I drove it and found this out it was a total deal-breaker for me. There are several threads on the F97/F98 forum about this and they are discussing it right now.

That’s not true although the boost comes on strongER in the higher ranges, the X3M is perfectly fine down low. I spent 2 years with an M40i, and the F97 for just under a month. I am able to make a fair assessment of both. D2 Sport or Sport+ is more than enough. Folks make it seem like it’s like an e92 ///M (which I Also owned and loved)
