Boston X5 4.4 is on a distinguished road

KEF, I think we are saying the same thing.

Yes, agree an M as a daily driver in Boston is a waste - that is why we got the X plus we 'needed' AWD for skiing trips deep in VT/ME.
The M is never really driven in Boston other than to leave the city for fun trips when the sun finally comes out and the top is down - a lot more fun in the winding roads around NH/ME. Best of both worlds

I drove a Proceded 335i and was very impressed with torque curve starting at such low rpms - would be more 'usable' power IMHO. But, to each his own.
