this is what BMW should have done, at least with the X4M, if not both cars, looks awesome on the Porsche

Well considering the Cayenne is not an X3/4 competitor but an X5/6 competitor, I think there isn't really a comparison here. But sure, BMW should have done it, at least on the Comp model.

who was comparing them?

8 series (non M) has it as an option, give us a $3,000 CF roof option on the comp and I bet a ton of people would pay it.

You, by stating that one car (the X3M) should have one and using an example of another one that now does (the Cayenne), i.e., a comparison.

Looks almost identical in design to the BMW CFRP roof series - clearly aerodynamic testing has revealed something beneficial about that central aero channel regardless of a vehicle's design or size. Even considering Porsche's pricing schedule, doesn't seem unreasonable:

'Lightweight Sport Package' - Sport Design Package in the exterior color, carbon Interior Package, Heated multifunction Alcantara Sport Steering Wheel, CFRP roof, 22" GT Design Wheels, Standard Interior in Black/Silver Houndstooth, Alcantara Roof liner, CFRP rear diffuser, and Sport Exhaust system for $11,570.

And, if the Canada site is any indication, we might not even be able to opt out of the roof rails and heavy moon roof for our X3M Comps?
