X5/6M versus M60i ride quality

[CSK423]

I've been looking at moving from my current 2021 X6 M50i into the M equivalent (X5 or X6 depending on deals) but I'm hesitating due to the reviews on ride quality. The M versions seem to be getting ripped for the jarring suspension.

The car is primarily a family car and will also be used for long distance trips, I'm wondering if the M60i is the better option with the opportunity for the air suspension, Active ARBs and rear wheel steer. All these things lose a bit of driver focus hence why they are missing from the M versions.

The local trips would suit the occasion of an M car but the longer trips may become a bit tiring. I also love the look/sound of the M cars but wonder if this is worth the sacrifice to the ride.

Has anyone been in a similar position ?

I previously had the X5M F85 version, it's interesting to hear the difference when it moved to the G05 ride quality becoming poor. Makes you wonder if the 50i (now 60i) was put in place to provide that compromise.

Thanks for correcting the codes. F85 now F95 (X5M)

I believe all M performance cars are non run flat also, certainly the M50i I have is.

You do realise you'll lose the Exhaust crack on upshift when moving away from the F85. Kids loved that....and so did I.
