My wife has an X3 M40i and the rear seats have much more room than my Macan. I'm always apologizing to back seat occupants in my Macan. The cargo floor areas seem very similar but I haven't measured. Probably fewer cubic feet in the Macan due to the raked back hatch.

If you care about performance, my wife's M40i has far more low end torque and feels much faster with less turbo lag than my car. It is not subtle either. The M40i is a rocket at takeoff and puts a bigger smile on my face. The Macan however has more refined handling and has a richer looking cockpit IMO. After 8 months I feel that the Macan is overpriced and the M40i is the biggest bargain around.
Appreciate feedback from an actual owner of both Macan and X3! You have plenty of time to live with both vehicles and your comments weigh a lot more than any YouTubers who were sponsored one way or another!

Have you proposed swapping cars with your wife yet?
