    I've watched several reviews about the M50i before and after buying my 2020 X5 M50i in Black Sapphire Metallic. It looks just like your test car although mine has 21" wheels which are slightly different in appearance. I bought mine for 61K in 8/23 with only 5,600 miles on the clock including the 2 year CPO warranty. It originally sold for $95 K. It has all the bells and whistles you mentioned but it did not come with massaging and ventilated seats. If I am ever in a position to buy a brand new BMW I will option every possible thing whether I need it or not. :) Like you, I have never driven an X5M car but other reviewers have driven it and feel just as you do about the M50i probably being the better choice for the majority of us who really don't need a fire breathing dragon under the hood. The M50i is awesomely fast when you need it. If I wasn't retired and needed to be concerned about gas mileage in day to day commuting then I would have gone for the 40i. It is a fine car with good power but not the thrill of the V8. At 76 I still need the thrill from time to time. :) I don't drive very much so my car is a garage queen but just looking at it every day makes me happy. By the way, I recently discovered a feature in the, "My BMW" app on my phone which gives me the total miles traveled each year and the # of gallons used each year. We travelled 5000 miles in a round trip from California to Wisconsin and back last November. The app says we got 23.5 mpg during the 5 months we drove the car in 2023. If that is accurate, I am thrilled with that. Of course most of the mileage was achieved on Interstate highways and driving in economy mode. Another thing, the self-driving features of the car are terrific, as long as you keep a finger on the wheel and yours eyes open it does everything for you. Never having a car like this before we were plenty nervous with this feature but now really appreciate it on long drives.

      What is res delete? I knew it once but have forgotten. I've added 2 options, wait, 3 options that did not come with my M50i. I bought a spare tire to fit in the tire well under the floor boards and 2 genuine BMW "M" front fender badges. Someone on one of the BMW forums said the X5 M50i's that are sold in europe include the M fender badges but the cars sold in the USA don't have them. You have to pay extra for them in the USA, $50 each! Of course guys who know the difference between MSports and a full blown M car accuse us MSport people as trying to pretend we have M cars. Well, I say, don't blame us for the marketing schemes of BMW. :)

X3M is more in your face looks wise, firmer suspension, M seats, etc.. X5m50 is more comfortable, fast as hell, low key/understated looks, sounds great, more comfy seats.. If it were me, I would do X3M Comp cus I'm young and like to push the car handling wise.. If I was late 30's,40's,50's and a business professional - I'd get the X5 M50..
