Macan is why I bought an X3M just doesn't compare and it is a fair bit more money as you would have to do the GTS to even get close on performance. Overall was very disappointed in the car, didn't find it comfortable, needs a lot of options added to it and is still light on power for the cost, it is almost $20k more similarly optioned and is 70hp less (and is smaller). Also they have zero inventory and nothing much in the pipe and are impossible to negotiate much with so you are paying over MSRP these day by like 10k or more at most dealers, where BMW dealers are still negotiating a bit and MSRP is not hard to get, so now it is 30k more than an X3M. Go drive one but it isn't worth more in my book than the X3M but it does have a Porsche badge on it which does carry some prestige over a BMW.
