I’ve been lurking around these forums for months and have posted two or three threads on various forums regarding my next vehicle. I currently have a 2018 M550 and lease is up next month. I’m in no rush because I have another car (M240) I could drive if I order something.

I thought I wanted to go smaller so my dealership ordered me a loaded X3 M40, but I couldn’t get past the relative cheapness of the interior versus the M550. The GM said, “What else can I order for you?” Great dealership.

I test drove the X5 M50 and wow, what a motor and a beautiful interior. Though I’m very disappointed that soft close doors aren’t available. I’m leaning towards the Macan GTS for its superior ride/handling balance and rarity. Velvet Hammer vs Scalpel. Optioned as I would want them, either one is right around $100K.

All else being equal which would you choose and why?
