Our 2022 X3 We had ordered has had glitchy software issues. The Lexus has had zero issues over the course of its life.
The M4 no issues
The M2 no issues
However I do feel that Bmw still has a ways to go to improve quality of their software components and computerization electronics.
Lexus might be more reliable but then it's less fun to drive so it's always going to be that balance.
If you can afford it I say go with Porsche they have the ability to somehow to magically make their cars best of both worlds.

Porsche tech is not as good as BMW in my experience. Very few cars have HUD for example, and wireless car play in the loaners I had was flaky. One of the last areas where BMW are leaders is integrating tech and physical buttons, shame most of the LCI cars are moving away from this as it really was their edge. I drive 7 will probably be peak BMW tech for features / usability. |
Completely agree. I regret swapping my X5 G05 for 911 (crazy move but childhood dream) so I swapped it for 2023 Macan S. Nice fast car but tech wise is not even close to X5. Illogical design decisions in their PCM system which were brilliant in X5. Exactly as you mentioned no Head up display, terrible smartphone app with 20% functions vs BMW app, shocking fuel efficiency. Although best looking SUV in the market especially in Miami Blue colour. I'm selling Macan S back to the dealer and already ordered X5 which arrives in September. |
Everyone has their preference but I think a lot of people overrate Porsche as a product overall. The driving experience is second to none but the rest, there isn't anything to write home about. In fact, I would say Porsche is very similar to BMW with regards to interior - both are not as flashy as Mercedes or Audi but the quality is still there with the nod going to BMW for ergonomics.
We have a Cayenne in the family and while it's as fun as a SUV can be, the rest of it isn't anything special - definitely not worth the premium you pay over BMW, Audi or Mercedes.
