I'm sure the extra power and M bits are nice, but I'd trade a little of the excessive power for less ride harshness I think. I'll definitely check it out when the time comes.

kind of off topic, but who the heck can afford a Porsche Panamera. I priced out a base P4 sport turismo yesterday and was at $127k before I even got excited about the cool features or the bigger engines. That is well into an e63 wagon price range.
I have read some reviews that indicate the ride quality could be overly firm on the x3 40i - but the test vehicles were likely equipped with the optional 19 or 20" wheels. Assuming that isn't an issue, I'll be tempted. My current x3 has near perfect ride quality with its base suspension and base wheels.

Haven't Panameras always been ridiculously expensive?
