When I saw the thread title, I thought a new model was being announced, like an M wagon? Though it sounds more like the Buick Tour X.

I wouldn’t mind an X3 MSport with the B58 engine and adaptive dynamic handling—or whatever they’re calling it (in fact, it’s on the post-divorce list as a second car—if I can find a reasonable one used). But an X3M? What is the point? It’s such an oxymoron.
Edit: Bummed about the tour. I was hoping everyone who wants to drive an M2 might have an easy opportunity. |

I did this a few weeks ago - drove the X3 and M2. It was a pretty short loop around town, 15 minutes or so in each car. Not really a big loss if you can’t book a time in my opinion. I mostly did it to get an OL code but never got one which was annoying.

I just got an 11am slot at the dealer not more then 10 min from me on Sat for the M2 Conp. I’ve only driven the N55 M2 so far.

Great. Glad somebody got something out of it! I've also found with these events that there tend to be more opportunities when you're there (as folks may bail.) So maybe you have a shot at the new M5, just for fun...

OK, I managed to sign up for a Friday slot at Passport. Haven't been there in a while! Thanks for posting the link.
