M all day my friend!!!

I had e70 X5, F15 50m-sport and now F85 X5M. While owning the F15, which I absolutely loved, I always wondered what it would feel like owning the M and at times regretted my decision.

In my opinion, the M is a man's car for those of us who love aggressive (fun) vehicles. Yes, the ride quality is not as smooth compared to the F15 but I don't miss it one bit - I choose power over quality. There is something about feeling like you got kicked in the back by a donkey - when you step on that gas pedal. BTW both on KW V3 suspension.

Not to sound too bias, the F15 is more than enough for anyone and deliver nice power @448hp, with a tune you can achieve over 500+ easily.

I would recommend going with your gut feeling, if you can afford the M - then why not? Either way, I am sure you will be happy with the new whip and your decision. GOOD LUCK MY FRIEND!
