I'm planning on 15mm spacers all around. 15mm front spacers are needed for strut and brake clearance. Pic of strut clearance with 15mm spacer (et40 -15mm = net 25mm offset)

I'm not changing front tire diameter so that's unlikely.

Hello X3M/X4M OWNERS!
I am thinking about joining the club.
Currently driving an 2018 M3CS but want something that draws a little less attention and something a little more practical.
Anyone in the same boat? Suggestions or regrets?

I've just done this and took delivery of my X3M this past Friday.

They're different cars and the key difference is one of analog vs digital. The X3M is smoother, particularly in the transmission and power delivery.

It feels faster as a result. Like a Tesla in how the power/transmission operate. It's just not as visceral as the CS, but I don't see an issue with that.

Thank you for the insight!
I absolutely love my CS but have lately been spoiled driving the Lamborghini Urus at work. I finding the X4Mcomp the closest thing to that experience for my wallet!

Did you recently add spacers to your rear wheels? This first pic looks like a more aggressive offset than you prior pics. Stance looks nice and mean . . .

Just straightened the rear wheel camber a tiny bit. Here you see that the rear wheel is still 2-3 mm in, which is perfect. I think the stance looks perfect now. I just need some side skirts and Maxton G01 side skirts are out of stock. Any suggestions?

I had a feeling you'd say that!

And I forgot to mention that the blacked-out badges work really well in your design.
