Ordered my X3 M non comp in July from F85Matt (thanks for a great client experience) and took delivery today. Traded in 2018 X30i xLine and kept 2015 M3 6MT. This X3 M is a really special ride for those like myself who want the ground clearance and X3 size but want a performance vehicle.
Acceleration: I'm not noticing any delay or lag very quick in Sport Mode. Very well controlled compared to M3 Braking: Excellent; discs look good with the 20s Interior: Merino M sport seats are excellent Ride: Perfect not too firm with 20" Pirelli P Zeros in Sport Mode Sound: Good in non comp would say it's about 80% as deep as comp; did not purposely try to get the deceleration burble yet Pics attached on some non comp things ... |

Loving it, congrats!
Wish there was a 20" wheel option for the Comp. More grip, less weight, and easier to shop for tires.

Would you say the diff in sound is similar to what it was between f8x base and f8x comp? I am wondering whether stock/non comp S58 sounds better than stock/non comp S55?

Yes exactly a F80 non comp sounds about 80% as good as a F80 comp. |

I wish BMW would offer 20" wheel option for comp model. The only thing is that stock tires are way too narrow. Are you planning to put wider tires (at least in the back)? The rim might not allow you to go above 265 or 275.

I saw anon comp X3 today in Toronto red and think that I would go with this version from a cost perspective.
Did you ever replace the chrome bits? The exhaust tips is the main thing that would bother me. |

I haven't yet. The grill and side vents bother me most. I'm probably going to keep the chrome exhaust tips. Really like it though. Been on two road trips already need to get those miles in for break in service.
