I've got some travelling to do over the next three days so won't get a chance to set it up right away, though, but it will give me some good seat time in the M40i on Interstates.

Club Sport version is 460 HP and 442 lb-ft of torque

I still stick by my assertion that the X3 M will be slightly lighter than the M40i. The X5 M is heavier in part because it utilizes a larger motor. I think BMW will shave some weight through some lighter parts, but I believe this will really be dependent upon the price point they decide to hit.

I? thought the HP on X3M were expected to be more in the 490 range no?
