Beats the 260 hp I have in the X. It's no speed demon, but it gets moving eventually. It is not scary at all on the highway (the 325xiT was periodically). Nice to have the M in the fleet for a change of pace.

The one that I drove had the earlier engine, which was <250hp... I have not driven a newer one, so I admit it might not be as much of a dog as it used to be. Either way, I think the 400lb diet is going to make an enormous difference on the new model.
