Regarding the price:
Once you added mods and sell your car, say in 4 yrs, you lose mods on resale
Technically you get roughly 50% for your car (41K)
83 + 7k mods - 41 resale = 49k spent
with M
103 - 50% = 51.5K
Dont take my math as an accurate example, but you should get my point i hope
It seems that in the end, you spending roughly the same amount of money while still falling behind in other performance areas
If you remove the full leather option, you lose the ventilated seats and our comparison is not apples to apples.

BMW says that the M will be worth 53% of MSRP vs. 60% of MSRP for the 50i (which ruled out me leasing the M - actually it was an 8% difference in July).

So lets just say that we all paid about 7% less than sticker, and with sales tax, that makes cost about sticker on each car.
X6M: 102,425 - 102,425*.53 = $48,139
X6 50i: $83,225 + $3,000 - $83,225*.6 = $36,290

So in 3 years, we have about a $12K difference and that is with $3K in Dinan upgrades on the 50i which are valued at $0 in 3 years.

So I personally believe it is a huge difference.
