My friend and I parked his X3M next to my X3 M40 at a Cars & Coffee and had to work hard to find the visual differences between the two.

That’s pretty sad to realize

You’d be shocked to see how sad the rear suspension is on his mighty X3M

There’s nothing M about it

I was completely floored

See my sig and post count. I'm an enthusiast. BMW has blurred the visual lines between M and non-M... ///M's all over the car, double slat grilles, M mirrors, soon to be quad tail pipes.

Edit: ID9 is stated at the 18:05 mark of this video:
I think you misread his post, he said it will be getting the iD8 dash which means the single curve screen. It will be using iD9 from what I have seen.
