So they could have taken a lightly optioned MSport 335 and just put on the Mperformance suspension kit and likely had the best experience. But BMW has not been listening and instead of equipping a car to best quell the magazines complaints, they give them a car with a boosted sticker price, overpriced brakes and oh year MORE power that was never said to be deficient in the first place.

The Xdrive BMWs have never been track oriented cars. Plus, a lot of time these Magazines ask for this. If you look at it from a pure speed point of view the Xdrive 335i with a MPPK is the best unit to give a reviewer to show what the MPPK will do in regards of acceleration.
The magazines know this but they have to have a angle since they all have the integrity of soaked toilet paper.
