I too drove both the SQ5 and M40i, no comparison in my opinion. While I think Audi has done a nice job on the interior fit and finish, appointments etc., the overall performance, steering feel (or lack there of), and fun factor was most definitely missing.
I currently drive a 2017 540i, and I’m cautiously moving to an M40i X3- but after driving it once I was sold! Call me an SUV skeptic and sedan aficionado, I was quickly convinced that the X3 is game changing. Hard to justify a 5 series (and I’ve had 6 of them!) to be honest as the new X3 interior is quite similar, and I love the pano roof and interior space and riding up Hugh!
