The revised X3 M desperately wants to be thought the M3 of compact SUVs. Tall order...
, two common threads of protest appear in the comments: the grille's ugly and it's too heavy. Now, I'm not going to pass comment on the former. There's no right or wrong answer as far as looks go: I might not fancy your wife or husband, but it doesn't mean you are wrong to. However, on the subject of weight, I agree 1,855kg is heavy. Yet despite this ball and chain it is fabulous to drive. Properly fabulous. If you disagree with that, I am afraid you are just plain wrong.
There's a degree of deftness about the flagship model's body control, yet here it flatters to deceive. It might be tight enough over mild peaks and troughs, but it runs right out of ideas when the rucks grow to sufficient magnitude. They induce bouts of heave and sway in the Comfort setting, which Sport mode tempers but doesn't fully remove. Nor does the stiffest Sport Plus setting for that matter, although it does make the ride even worse.
You get a lot more resonance coming through the suspension than you would in a regular X3. I presume this is to do with stiffer bushing but the upshot are some hollow twangs over cat's eyes and more graininess on coarse surfaces - the sort that starts your keys buzzing if they're in one of the oddment trays.
