The G05 X5 is so floaty and boring I can't do it. The X3M is a similar MSRP and from what I've read leases similarly as well. The trade off is the unimpressive looking interior in comparison. |
That's the point though. You get the sports car and SUV, each for their dedicated purposes. Why sacrifice both fun and practicality in one package when you could have both excel in what they are meant to do. If you are limited to $80k why not go X3 and Miata/BRZ/Random Used Sports car and maximize the fun and practicality without sacrificing either for one car only and blowing the budget. That's what the wife and I did over an X3M, Macan or GLC63. We did GLC300 for boring but practical stuff and Z4M for weekend fun. This is of course assuming you are limiting your funds... if you have a s**t ton of cash go ahead on the x6m but to argue an X6M as a do it all vehicle in just one package just isn't as good as having separate vehicles with different missions in my opinion.
