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.
Why do you feel the need to attack people for their opinion? You act like a tough guy or a bully who needs to be right. I think your opinions are mostly valid, however, I don't think your delivery is very well received by me or the "Porschah" guy.

Personally, I think it's valuable to get difference of opinions on any particular brand of car so others can see the highs, and lows of each brand. No car brand is perfect. If you feel like a retaliatory post or reply to mine here, knock yourself out, as this is simply my opinion.

I also made sure to use short words so you could understand them when you copied.

build quality on us made BMWs is straight garbage. never an issue with any of my "real" M cars but my X3MC was pretty poor.

Porsche driving dynamics is way better than X3MC as well and worth the premium.
you mean like Macan's leaky drains and water filled cabins??

My friend has 2020 Macan and P can't fix it. Dealer told her to keep car in the garage at all times. She is suing P now to buy it back.

POS design in this day and age. Not an issue on cars 50+ years old.

I've owned 4 different Porsches, including a GT3, 2 Turbo S's as well as the Macan we daily drove. I believe both are nice cars, but Porsche is a far superior driving machine over anything except my Mclarens. Having said that, I do love this X3MC for many reasons, and plan to keep it a bit.
apparently not very tight

did not say car is crap but that type of design defect and not fixing it for years is unacceptable at that price point

also Macans with gti engines are … not that good

We should be glad not everyone likes BMWs or we all agree that Porsche is the best. Availability and prices are insane. Can you imagine if we were all fighting over the same vehicle? Differences of opinion are good and what keeps us from all buying the same things, traveling to the same place and buying a house in the same town.

Ahh, this thread reminds me of the 12 year-old "internet Argument - M3 vs 335" parody video:

GTI engines? Hmmmm... That's curious, as I thought the engines in the Macan were designed, and built by Audi. The PDK wasn't shared with any of the Porsche brethren... including any VW, Audi nameplate. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
