Ad just popped up in my feed… since M3 is possible target for next car, I’m always looking around. Currently own a X4 M40i… figured I drop it here in case someone was looking.

It’s my favorite color….

I have that same combo on my g80, but in a manual. On another note, I've been seriously looking to replace my 16 year old 200k mile x3 with a new x3 m40i. Any general thoughts on the steering and suspension of your x4m40i vs the m3? I've test driven one, but that's about it. The g80 is my first foray into "newer" BMWs.

I will chime in on this. I just got my new M3 and I have X5 m40i (g05).
These cars in terms of driving dynamics and feel could not be any more different.
Don’t get me wrong. I like X5 for family stuff and space and I think it’s a great cat. But they are just so different. I dunno if X5M maybe more similar to M3.

Thanks for the thoughts. I'm looking for something a bit more pedestrian than a full blown m model, tbh. I will take this into the forest, and actually off road (as in off the forest roads), kids I want to tow. The m40i seems to be in a good spot for that.
