Someone mentioned it here but worth noting that the current Macan is based on Audi's old platform. It definitely needs an upgrade in terms of performance and the new chassis. Wouldn't be surprised if the next Macan S is closer to 400 HP. |

I have an M2 and a Cayenne. M2 is faster etc... You know the car I look back at after I lock is the cayenne. the one I prefer to drive is the cayenne, overall best car of my lot is the cayenne. M2 handles better now after nearly 6000 $ of suspension work. LOL There is a reason why porsche is so expensive. I'd like to see a M8comp go against a turbo S. LOL or a gt3, which is the same price or near to an M8. Anyhow both are very different brands. One I choose going forward is Porsche. M2 really made me dislike BMW. |

Hey guys question about the X3M. I test drove one given all the rave reviews. The thing that bothered me the most (besides the really small driver seat) was if I mashed the gas from a stop - the car would very slowly get to 20mph and then whooosh take off very quickly. I timed it around 3 seconds from 0-20mph. I'm sure brake boosting/launch control would eliminate this, but sometimes u just need to floor it without bothering with brake boost/LC. And It didn't matter what mode I was in...comfort, sport, auto, manual. I tried everything. Obviously the auto start/stop was turned off.
The lag was also apparent just cruising and then I'd mash the gas and the car would spool for at least a second before it would do it's thing of downshifting and building boost. It was so bad I passed and am fearful the new M3 will drive like this too.

I've never experienced this, even with the engine in efficient and drivelogic set at 1.

I did a ton of runs. Even without any LC and BB it is still a 4+ sec 0-60 mph vehicle. So the lag cannot be very dramatic. It is true, however, that there is a significant torque influx at 3-4k rpm that makes you perceive the start as laggy. The advantage is that you get tons of high end power where other engines start tapering off.

Saying a Macan buyers are only buying the "badge" and an X3 for the same money is better, is exactly the same argument Mustang drivers say about the 4 Series. There's no comparison in terms of subjective aspects of the two. A Macan is clearly a step above than an X3, that is why they demand a higher price while being not the quickest or perhaps best handling. The Macan interior alone is a step above.

I don't know if PDK is much faster, but it definitely feels more spectacular. ZF8 is extremely fast, smooth, and reliable and much better than the old BMW DCTs. X3M's ZF8 can also easily take all the extra torque that comes with a flash tune. Also consider that Macan PDK and GT3 PDK are not the same model.

The Macan is hideous to the eyes and the track! Garbage
