I will even admit to liking the X3M Comp. The speed, the cabin, what they achieved in handling (for a bread truck of sorts), the obnoxious badging. It has even tempted me to consider one, just to absolutely smash the odd premium sports car on the Autobahn in hilarious fashion--but I just can't do it.

It's the chassis stuff you just can't fix. Basic physics.
You would be amazed at the magic that BMW M can do with an SUV. After having my X5MC for 3 years, I haven't missed my E92 M3 one bit. That's how great the X5MC is.
