I don't know. I feel odd about this.

On one hand, M means track, speed, dynamics, etc. But a current M car, regardless of the one you choose, isn't really meant to be a track animal anymore. They are far too mainstream. And that's fine with me.

And then on the other hand, I'll be in my M3 and think "An X3 M sure would be nice." The room, the additional comfort without much lose of speed. But I can never get fully comfortable in an SUV around a turn like I can in a sedan. Maybe it's just me.

At any rate, I see no problem with the XM. It's a comfortable daily that will be blindingly quick with the latest tech. Save the other garage space for an M2 and you'll be set up.
