why the X4 instead of a Macan? I considered the X4 to replace my X3 but the Macan is just on another level - and the 4 pot engines will probably cost the same as the 3.0 diesel. I would rather loose some poonies and have the macan luxury and dynamics. Why the X4?

Personally I strongly prefer the current designs over the designs produced under Mr Bangle's leadership. Those cars where a mess aesthetically according to me, broken lines and really ugly some of them. But that's my opinion.
I can't really answer completely for my father on the matter of the choice over the x4 over the porsche macan. But if I may think about it, he has always liked the x6, but thought it's a bit to big for him, and also a bit to expensive. Therefore the x4 was a perfect "compromise", smaller, more economic and a bit prettier. Also a reason could be that the porsche stings more in the eyes of people. See, in Sweden, socialism has ruled a bit to long which has caused a mentality that it's not always appreciated to show that you're successful and can buy a nice car, for example. The x4 doesn't stand out that much.
Thats what I think at least.
