Agree re tech. I prefer the analogue dials and manual park brake on my CS. I wanted to get the Macan before it goes all electric in 24. Is some ways the ID8 on the X3/4 MC is already there. So I prefer the older school less tech driving experience - even though the Macan comes with plenty (though not as much as the ID8 X3/4). I know I'm a dinasaur. I'll catch up with you all in 6-7 years when I get my first electric.

I know this is in no way a reflection of all Macan drivers but I always found this thread hilarious.

Macan guys - it's about refinement.
Doggg Macan msrp is anywhere from $60-$90k that's no Rolls or 911 Turbo S. 🤣 Tuned X3/X4M will blow the doors off most cars and overall great build quality. These are all german cars at the end of the day and are eons ahead of Toyota, Honda, Ford, etc. When I get into a Japanese or American car it's sadly not even close yet the price is in the same ballpark. 2022 Ford Expeditions are going for $80k

No doubt a Macan drives better, is put together better, and even holds value better. However on a SUV I don't care as much about that last 1% of handling. The BMW is far cheaper for the performance. I guess if I had an unlimited budget Id get a Macan GTS of the two. However I don't need a SUV to be a race car. I can't imagine taking it on track. Id probably get two cars that are more focused first.

- performance: genuine low end torque related stuff, and launch control for roughly 30 seconds starting 6:56. - handling through turns: cliche corner bull**** starts 5:51, ends something around 6:30, that's neither exhaustive, nor precise. - comparison older X3 M an X3 m40i: m40i mentioned 3:16 for 2 seconds, and 4:17 for 3 seconds. X3M: mentioned oversteer regarding the old one 5:59 (2 seconds), xDrive related stuff at 6:17 (2 seconds), diff related stuff 6:28 (2 seconds) and launch related aspect at 7:12 for 2 seconds, too. For those two aspects 13 whole seconds, wow! Apologies but 2 minutes in a nearly 17 minutes aren't exactly an achievement. What I am missing: detailed review about handling, brakes (not mentioned at all!), cooling, suspension (the only mentioned the new calibration), trunk (one of the main reasons you buy this thing). All in all, very blunt review. Entertainment purposes only. These guys seem very likeable, but there is no whatsoever depth to their statements. Savagegeese or whatever their name is, or SpeedLabs do a way way better job. disclaimer: quickly went through transcript, not necessarily exhaustive. Last edited by DFTBA; 08-16-2022 at 02:36 AM.. |

I love the Macan GTS. But on my shortlist it came 3rd with the GLC63 2nd. Why? 1. In the UK the GTS is significantly more expensive - like 30-40% per month 2. It's slower I think the BMW offers better value, better interior and better tech. I prefer the S58 too. I also don't track so the handling is perfect for me. Like for like on price and I'd probably go green Macan and then hope I didn't meet an X3M or X4M at the lights.

To me those are valid points… not some ridiculous nonsense. I respect everyone’s opinion, but to say one car is better than another on baseless facts like a guy buying one after a promotion is just stupid. |

Savagegeese isn't much better, he has some guys just go over parts lists and takes 7x as long to say basically the same stuff as what these guys do, so...not sure if I really understand. |

If I watch a review of a car like the X3Mx I expect them to focus on what that car was built to achieve in the first place.
For me, they didn’t. You don’t get that, fine. That doesn’t make my point less valid. |

It was meant to go fast and handle well, and they perfectly cover that in the video. Like I said, it sounds like you want an in-depth engineering review video of the build of the car itself, not a regular driving review, which is what this video is.

There is no need to pretend stupid because I clearly listed whole bunch of reasons why I believe the X3M is the better car. These include affordability, better engine, much better performance, better tech, more cargo space, more interior space, and more. These are all objectively measurable parameters. I’m sorry that you and your lowlife Porschah friend do not agree with my views. This is bimmerpost, most people here are BMW owners and fans. If you go to rennlist or audizine, you will get to hear completely different opinions.
