I've only owned "full M" cars (M6 and M2 CS) and I enjoyed them, but when I was in the market for an SUV I found I preferred the X4 M40i and X6 M60i over the full M versions. I have less of a tolerance for stiff suspension in a luxury SUV and I don't see the point in sacrificing ride quality for track performance when I'll never track an SUV. The M60i also has the S68 and something the full M doesn't get which is rear-wheel steering. If BMW would have labeled the M60i as X5/6M and left the current X5/6M Competition as the top M version, I doubt anyone would complain.
Sure, as long as the m60i owners are willing to pay another $40k for the exact same car.
