To whoever asked me why I like the X5M over the Macan-
In truth, it's probably not really a fair comparison. I didn't have the turbo and I think if we're comparing Porsche vs BMW you need a Cayenne Turbo S vs X5M. But I'd bet they're basically even except the price tag.
The Macan felt kinda sporty, the X5M feels like an M car so to me it's just an all around better/more enjoyable drive. I'm sure a big part of that is the V8 vs V6. The Macan might be more nimble in a tight slalom but the X5M feels like it has the same or more hold in normal corners.
My 2 buddies have a M2 and M3 and while M cars are more impressive than I originally thought, I still don't think they're on the same playing field as a 911 or Cayman GT4. When it comes to SUVs (SAVs) I can't stand here and say one brand is better than the other besides my own personal experience of "upgrading" to a higher trim level and model.
