BMW seems to have nailed it.

I reluctantly replaced my 2016 Macan Turbo at year-end with an X3MC, only because we'd had several problems with the Macan & were concerned about keeping it long-term, even with an extended warranty. I think both cars have their strong points. I found the Macan's seats & driving position to be much more comfortable than the X3's, bu the X3 feels more agile & responsive to me than my (tuned) Macan did.
Interior fit & finish was much nicer on the Macan, too. I just couldn't bring myself to pay another $20K+ to go into another Turbo & I was annoyed with our local dealership & didn't want to deal with them anymore. I'm not unhappy with the X3, but I do wish my Macan had been more reliable. We hadn't planned on replacing it when we did.
