Thanks for the insight. On paper I would expect straight line speed between the two to be fairly similar and the handling edge tilted towards Macan as you indicate. With respect to depreciation though, $500/month on a 1 year old luxury sports car is doing quite well. For some perspective, you're losing around $700/mo on the X3 although probably don't have to do much if anything for maintenance. To me, all these cars depreciate about the same and it's really a financial mess to own one. A new X3M will be even worse which is why I'm looking at possible other angles.
I rolled along side a super clean and shiny dark blue Macan S on 21" wheels today after work and I felt like it was almost an omen. Damn that thing was pretty and I think it probably wins in the looks department although the design is a bit long in the tooth now.
