Also, a good comment in that thread:

Just as a general note for those wanting to know about the X. The car is really really easy to work on. It's really a pleasure after fighting a 335i to have nice open engine bay where you can get to everything. And after looking at it up close for a while, it makes the 8+9 look very plain. The aggressive styling really grows on you. The engine is clearly responding to mods just as well as the 9, and the X has a stronger trans than anything ever bolted to a 4g63. The only downside I can see in the X is the additional 250lbs. But you can't tell it's there when you drive it and if the powertrain, brakes and suspension are all improved to negate the added weight, who cares. I'm not going to run right out and trade in my 9 but all my fears of Mitsu killing a once great car are gone.
