I think that's definitely the case. The X3M, GLC63, and, if they decide to build one, RS Q5, are up against the Macan Turbo.
The X3 M40i, GLC43, SQ5, and Macan GTS are logical competitors given their price-points. Power output across them is extremely similar. I don't think BMW will have trouble against the Audi and Mercedes, but it will be interesting to see if the X3 M40i can genuinely out-accelerate the Macan GTS in the real world.

Well, I agree the GLC63 looks hot, but let's wait for the X3 M to be unveiled later next year (if current info proves correct) before comparing the X3 to the hottest Mercedes model. I think it's going to prove to be a real looker.
