Filski, I have to agree 100% with your post. I too drove both cars back to back and had the same impressions.
I told my wife that i wanted to enjoy DRIVING my next car after driving boring cars for the last 15 years.
My impression is the rr is the car to buy if you plan to go off road and the bimmer is the one you want on road. Personally I couldn't see myself taking either car off road so the bimmer got the nod.

Comment from my wife sums it up "I wish the evoque drove like the X3"
Interior much nicer on the evoque, equal cabin room - really! Better finishes overall and makes the X3 seem a bit plain. Cargo space is 10cm longer on the X3 too for those that need it. Acceleration is identical. But the BMW is far far far better handling on road at least - goes around corners on rails and responds to some spirited driving. But off road the evoque is much better.
And yes the red is as good as the photos - take note BMW, not everyone want black white or grey.
