I don't care about family friendly or carrying stuff, I just like fast SUVs and I like how I sit in them in a more leg bend fashion. Wipe the floor is a strong statement. The M5 is faster in 0-60 ~(2.7 compared to 3.3 in the real world which makes the SUV even that much cooler to me. Remember the C in GLC indicates the next to lowest MB model in the line so of course the GLE is nicer. The X3M is the top notch X3. |

I need to take my buddies out but anytime he's in town the car is in the shop. He tends not to leave a single thing stock on his cars so his shop always has it and putting more and more parts on it.
He spent like $40,000 getting his RS3 where he wanted (aftermarket turbos, fuel system change to E85, custom ECU tunes, Meth, all new suspension) and probably put 2,000 miles on it before he sold it. He tends to do that a lot. |

Normally when your comparing cars like for like it usually starts with the engine. These cars have totally different engine capacities even if they deliver ‘similar’ bhp. But they do not have similar torque so to me this this is not a good way to compare just because they are roughly same size SUV’s. if the X3 had a V8 or vice verse then worth a head to head.

That's totally fine. I like fast SUVs too, but they have to be somewhat family friendly. 2.7 vs 3.3 sec is a 20% difference, which is indeed huge... 20%! That is not true. There is GLA, which is the lowest MB SUV. Then there is GLB which is brand new. GLB is below GLC, but has that awesome modern MB interior. Check it out! If GLB didn't look like a shoebox, i would consider buying one for my wife. X3M has exactly the same position in the BMW lineup as the GLC63 for Mercedes. X3 is above X2 (GLB competitor) which is above X1 (GLA competitor). There is also the X5 (GLE competitor) and X7 (GLS competitor). |

I don't consider 20% a lot faster when you are comparing a true trackable sedan to a SUV. Don't get me wrong, the M5 is likely my favorite car. The new M3 will probably be on my list too.
By "next to lowest MB model in the line", I was referring to AMG offerings which the GLA is the lowest line and then the GLC. Of course, you have the AMG lites(43) in most of the models too. |

Looks like the GLC is nose down on the top end.... seems possibly a swayed review as the cars have basically the same power and weight. I think the GLC was off throttle because pulling away that hard takes a lot more power.

I can't believe I'm sitting here on this forum looking at a video and thread of 2 SAV's going head to head regarding performance and that's actually a thing (let alone a desirable thing)! I guess that's the market today.
2 ugly truck-cars from company's that realistically don't make good truck-car/suv/sav's.....never understood it. |

In regards to performance, they are just as good as some super cars 10 years ago

Damn, so glad this forum represents just s tiny and shrinking fraction of the folks that are actually buying BMWs and are in the road today. |
