How much different is it compared to the M3 Comp?
It isn't plush but it isn't even close to as bad as reviews as long as you know what an M car feels like.

Joe Achilles is a nonsensical fool. My X3MC is the best daily I've owned and the ride quality is fine. You figure out the powerband and transmission and the turbo threshold is not an issue. Then you redline 3rd and 4th gear and don't care about 2k rpms.

Also my minimal options X3MC stickered at $80k, got it for $67k with discount and incentives which was common on the 2020s. So price isn't always what it seems and especially with the fugly G8x, discounts shouldn't be a problem.
