So you bought the X4 over the Macan, what did you miss....
Well hope to collect my X4 next week but wondered if I made right decision over the Macan, spent some time on the Macan Forum and this was interesting

I miss nothing. Check out my thread about how much disliked my Macan i had for 3 weeks.
I love my X4 100X more.. The Macan has more issues than I can name.. Dozens and Dozens of horrid porsche nonsense issues that can't be fixed. Loving my X4 Craig |

Hope my fears dissipate when I get the car. Never ordered anything without test driving, the Macan was a cracker and whenever I see the Porsche dealership I wonder. Just a few more days.

Side profile Macan vs X4
This Macan cannot be more beautiful in my eyes as attached even in msport side view.
Like what this Macan owner said below after his 30 day ownership, nobody will look twice at a Macan for they think it's a Cayenne which I thought so when I saw it next to a bunch of Cayennes which are boring to look at so the Macan is equally boring visually. http://www.macanforum.com/forum/maca...y-summary.html |

I saw my first Macan up close today (4 of them actually in different colors).... I am so glad i made the correct decision and bought an X4. I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder but I find the Macan boring and outdated looking already. I would certainly buy an SQ5 over the Macan on looks.... Sorry Macan Lovers but X4 rules!

Finally people are seeing them and in the right colors with the right rims , its unreal !!! I am really loving mine so much !! The SQ5 as you said is 100% so much better looking than the Macan as well. The Q5 body is great and I hope next year they can better it when they redesign it.. For now the X4 is new and unique , gorgeous and fast and fun !! |

Got Melbourne Red in Xline, no offense to those who like Msport, I find the front especially ugly in X4/X3 form otherwise I always like msport, pre-LCI X3 msport was just an awesome look. Awaiting pre-delivery checks etc..

Every BMW dealership I have been to even when I travel have no Xline on the lot just msport, ordered without seeing one or test driving one let's see...this is the reason I have had some doubts, never bought a car like this before.

Lots of people saying xline looks better and bmw messed up the new Msport. I have a 2012 x3 m sport in verm red and we love it. I think the xline melb red looks great as well but my problem is you can't get sport seats with it in the US (I think it's an option in Europe). So the only way to get sport seats is with the M sport. This is a deal breaker for me because I think the sport seats are much nicer than the standard ones, especially during spirited driving.

She's here...
So on the way to dealership passed by the Porsche dealership again so could compare Macan to my X4 order, men the Macan is cramped inside, still looks nice, but when saw the X4 Xline in Melbourne Red with Beige interior the X4 is so gorgeous and quite a looker in comparison, definitely a head turner! The pic attached doesn't do it justice...just a few more days after set up is complete and I take delivery.
