Hi all, I've had a 2018 440xi 6MT coupe for the last 3 years, and while I love the car and have thought about keeping it off lease, my wife can't drive stick and we are a 1-car house (NYC).

So, we were looking at ordering a 2020 M550 in February, to arrive this month, but COVID shut all of that and those plans down. But now, I'm coming back up to breathe and debating putting in a custom order for one of those two cars.

We've driven M550's together, and she loved them. We also drove Macan's, Panamera's etc. and she wasn't a fan of the ride compared to the BMW. Though the other day we borrowed my best friends X3 M40i for a little bit and she really liked that car too.

So now, I'm debating between the two and humbly ask the X3M fans here for their input. (I'll be posting similarly in the 5-series forums for diversity of opinions and ownership experiences).

Thanks in advance for any insights or advice you can provide!
